Ctrl-LMB to extrude

Support Basics & Interface
1

You know how you use Ctrl-LMB to draw vertices in Edit Mode? I just noticed that you can use Ctrl-LMB to extrude selected points (which is what I guess you are doing when you are drawing vertices).

For example. select the top face of a cube and then Ctrl-LMB elsewhere. You just extruded the face! Click around to make more extrusions. It’s neat how it also angles the face based on the offset of the click.

Ok that makes total sense, although I never noticed! In face mode it extrudes the face, edge mode edges. Thanks~

That’s a fairly new feature - 2.40 or 2.41! It’s called organic extrusion, under the release logs.
