undocumented? use Trimex to access faces instead of downgrading

Post by murdic »

If you want to sweep, loft or revolve a face that isn't available in the feature lists for those tools, draft|trimex can be used instead of having to downgrade an entire object. Trimex is useful for extruding faces to an arbitrary normal, but if the arbitrary normal that it uses isn't the path that you want, select the face, apply trimex and escape out of the command, the face becomes magically available in the feature lists for sweeping, lofting or revolving.
