I have a problem extruding multiple polygon edges in maya 4.0
If you select multiple polygon edges, and do extrude, not all edges extrude in a uniform manner.
For example, when you extrude outwards (normal) instead of upwards, not all polygons extrude by the same amount, and often in directions that arent normal.
Even playing around with the manipulator has no real solution to this.
Is there a fix for this?

Matt

There is a little blue circle on the tool when you extrude a face or edge. If you click that, the method of extrusion changes to world space. Perhaps that will allow you to do what you want.

Under the Polygons menu, go to Tool Options at the bottom, I believe.
Make sure that "Keep faces Together" is selected:)
Hope that helps you.
