Extruding multiple faces

[~Dramatic~Details~]

I would like to extrude multiple faces so that I do no have to select the command and input the same information multiple times.:thumbs_up

Using Solidedit>> face>>extrude, you are prompted to select faces - so there you can select multiple faces. And after selecting one you have the "ALL" option to select all faces of an object. So what are you doing that you need to run the command multiple times? Is it because each face is a different extrusion height?

For example, I have a box, 6 sides, all separate 3D objects. If I want to stretch the box's width, I slice the box (all 4 affected objects) and I would extrude each of those 4 objects separately. I need to reselect the extrude command for each item. I basically just want to stretch it but that is not possible with 3D objects. It would be nice to be able to select all the affected faces on all the objects that have to be extruded the same height all in one command.

I don't follow you, maybe because I only tinker with solid operations...

To me, a box is 1 object, 6 faces/sides. And I don't see what/why you're slicing. I could use a picture or a "graphic" description.

I have attached a iso pic of my "box" sliced open. This is where I would have to extrude each individual 3D object.
I do my drawings with all separate 3D solids because that looks the most realistic for cabinetry drawings.

OK I see now :)

I find that yes, you can solidedit only one object at a time. You could "union" multiple solids together, even unconnected, then you can do multiple face extrusions.

Just a thought, you might try imprinting a line on the solid to get the appearance of panels but still be a single object. (solidedit>>Body>>Imprint)
