Panel extension

Select panel

Select the panel to which the extension is to be applied.

Select bounding plane

Selecting the bounding plane. This can be any plane surface of another panel or the work plane.

Select Extend Direction

The user specifies the direction in which the panel extension is to be applied. The panel can only be extended in the directions allowed by the surrounding box, the smallest volume rectangular parallelogram of this panel.

The figure below shows situations where the direction of the extension needs to be specified, and where there is only one solution and the command already knows the direction of the extension.

A case when the user does not need to set a direction of Panel extension

Select face(s) to replace

The user can specify the side panel faces to be extended. By default, all faces that can be extended are automatically selected. If you want to do otherwise, you can empty - the whole collection of faces by removing/adding (LMB click+CTRL) one by one, and then all the faces that can be extended are automatically collected again.

Gap

You can specify the gap to be left to the bounding plane when extending a panel. A gap value with a “–” sign will go beyond the bounding plane by the specified amount.
