Extrude mulitple faces?
-
Is there a ruby script that extrudes multiple faces in one go. Say for example you have an OS map with many buildings, when then faces have been closed up ready to extrude to the specific height, is it possible to select many of these and pull them all up in one go?
Many thanks in advance.

Have you tried doing what you propose with the move / copy command? Granted, all faces move exactly the same amount, but you could set the level differences beforehand.

I think I see what your saying....
The only problem is though that if I copy the faces up a desired height I will be left with going around connecting up all the side panels which is again quite time comsuming if you have 100 plus buildings, also hard to keep track on which one's you have done in a dense model.

Yes what Juju says works with already 3d objects but starting from 2d rectanles for instance will just hoist them up without creating the faces.
You can check out "extrud_selected_faces_along_normal.rb" from Didier's site here: http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/em_edi_page.htm or even have the "projection toolbar (with some dozen of similar scripts together) from the same page ( projection_v6.zip).

I presume you are a Vectorworks user which has a tool function that does this.
You might look at the Skin.rb which can do some of the same thing.
