Problem with SVG import...

Im trying the svg import in Blender (cvs) on Linux and notice one thing:
When I import a svg from inkscape-cvs and want to give it extrusion, the shape extrudes to the side and not upwards. Bad thing! Any hints?

D.

SVG import allows to import only 2D curve. You can not extrude upward unless you change this curve into a 3D one.

I was talking about giving the shape some depth with the ext1-slider. When using this, the shape extrudes to the side and not up…

The curve is correctely imported just do an apply sizerot/ctrl-a before to extrude.

That did the trick. Thanks a lot! But I can’t remember this was mentioned before, or am I wrong?
