How do I do this?
I have a face that’s on an odd angle, and I want to extrude one edge to extend the face along the angle.
This image shows the face and its normals:
And this image shows the edge I want to extrude along the face normal’s x axis:
Custom transformation orientation.
Select the + with the face selected and then select the new orientation you created in the dropdown menu.
You can then extrude the edge, cancel it and then manually move it along the custom orientations.
with the face selected, press CTRL+Alt+Space. this will lock the gismo to the selected face’s normal.
this can also be done with multible faces selected.
ALT+SPACE and N/G will allow you to set it back to global or normal.
if an edge is selected, it will align the Y axses along the selected edge
with a vertex selected, the Z axses will be locked to the vertex normal.
Thanks. They both work for me.
