PRESSPULL — Press/Pull

Pushes or pulls a closed region a distance to create a solid.

• Command: PRESSPULL · Global name: _PRESSPULL
• Ribbon: Home › Draw

Creates or modifies a 3D solid by pushing or pulling a closed region a given distance, like AutoCAD's PRESSPULL. The region is extruded with the truck kernel (pure Rust) and stored as an ACIS 3DSOLID.

Usage

1. Type PRESSPULL (or PULSARTIRAR) or click it in the ribbon.
2. Select one or more closed areas (polylines, circles, ellipses…) and press Enter.

Select the closed areas and press Enter:

3. Enter the distance (positive towards +Z, negative towards −Z).

Press and pull distance:

Exact vs faceted

• Polygonal regions (straight edges only): the solid is exact; AutoCAD audits it with no errors.
• Regions with arcs or curves: the outline is approximated with segments and the solid comes out faceted.

Notes

• Pushing a specific face of an existing solid will come with subentity picking; for now PRESSPULL acts on closed areas of the drawing.
