I dont think so, alth jean lemerier came up with a good work around, i cant remeber where it is though

There are a couple of ways you can do that. It is possible to select the surfaces and then use Vector Push/Pull (using the Normals tool). But, on the whole, it is easier simply to Push/Pull one of the surfaces in the normal way, then double-click on the other surfaces...the amount of the first extrusion is held in memory, so they will rise the same distance.

Hi Malaise, hi folks.

See attached SU file for ideas.

This is a slightly improved new version of the previous one I posted a while ago.

Hi Malaise, hi folks.

Richelieu is about 40 kilometers or 25 miles south east of Montreal.

Best regards.
