Hi Burr, oh I guess you were talking about the case where the curve is actually planar within tolerance itself but at some angle to one of the main axis directions. You will get a default extrusion direction that follows the object's own plane normal in that case.

The one I showed above is for when the curve being extruded is not itself planar within tolerance.

Note that by having each object follow its own natural extrusion direction it allows things like this to work all in one extrusion step:




If it asked you for a single extrusion direction at the beginning of the extrude it would not be possible to get the "batch extrusion" result above from just one extrude anymore.
