Hello there,

Just a quick question, is it normal that you loose the styles when you do an extrude?

Example:

then:

The blue style is gone

Not a big deal but would be cool to keep styles :)

Hi Shapenoid, I'll investigate a bit to see what might be done, but it might be somewhat difficult to change that.

You can sort of see why if you use the "Keep separate" option to generate the extrusion as a separate object and then do a boolean union - notice that the "side walls" of the extrusion will not really get the same styles as the side walls of the original part. That's because the extrusion is built only from its base face and does not know anything about the other side wall. Then when doing the boolean there are 2 different faces with different styles on them being combined together into one and it's a bit arbitrary for which one the style will come from.

I'll look into it a bit though and see if I can make it work better.

Hi Shapenoid, I've been able to tune up the new face extrude auto booleans for the v3 final release so that it will preserve styles ok for multi style solids.

Thanks for reported the problem!

Hi Michael, good to hear you've been able to fix it! Always save a bit of time and reduce potential errors

Thank you!
