Solid Extrude

Overview

Adds depth to a closed 2D path to turn it into a solid. Draw free-form outlines that are difficult to build from primitives—logos, signs, decorative plates—in the path editor, then use them directly as 3D base solids.

Usage tips

• The basic flow is draw a closed shape in the path editor → solid_extrude → solid_render. A path must be closed to become a solid.
• For shapes with holes, set sub_path_scope = AllClosed: draw the outer and inner outlines as separate subpaths so the inside becomes a hole, as in a donut-shaped plate, frame, or keyhole.
• depth is the thickness of a thin plate. Increase it for shapes like building walls with more depth.
• Use curve_steps to control the smoothness of path curves. Increase it if they look angular.

• solid_revolve — create a revolved body such as a jar or bottle instead of extruding
• solid_transform — stand the result up or lay it down
• solid_combine / solid_subtract — combine it with other parts
• solid_render — convert it to pixel art

Technical details

• Coordinate system: Path x becomes Solid x; Path y is inverted and becomes Solid z. Depth extends along y.
• Target: one closed subpath, or every closed subpath in the input
• Holes: Sub-path Scope = All Closed uses the even-odd rule, so inner outlines become holes.

Examples

Use Multi Path Editor → Solid Extrude → Solid Render to create signs, wall decorations, and thin terrain cross-sections. Draw the outer and inner borders as closed subpaths and set Sub-path Scope = AllClosed to make a plate with a hole.
