If you select the ring of faces you want to extrude. Then press βEβ to extrude and then enter, followed by alt+s it will scale it from its original shape.
Is it possible to contstrain to an axis
I have 10 edges and it seems they keep going down and down, each time i am extruding and when extruding outside, it goes up
Seems like sometimes its all good and sometimes happens what i typed above
When scaling you can press the respective x,y,or z and it will only scale on that axis. Also you can press shift x,y,or z and it will scale along every axis other than the selected x,y,or z axis.
The thing is it does not work, it mostly does what I said, only few time it did it correctly and pressing Y,Z or X after you ALT+S it does nothing at all. If someone donβt believe me, tell me how to turn on the showing of what you pressed and i will get some recording software.
Alt+s is a command by itself, no need to select an axis when using alt+s. Regular scaling can be constrained by just simple βsβ then push the axis you want to scale on. Shift+axis locks out the axis you want to scale on, for example I want to scale something on the x and y axis and not the z. I would push shift+z and it will now scale only the x and y
seems if I extrude up (Z) and then alt+s it will be okay, then i moved (-Z) and it worked. I really wish i knew why only sometimes it works, I hope i find out why, extruding each time, alt+s and then moving it to the correct place. i mean with simple topology that is not a problem but otherwise its gonna be annoying
