Why is it when I extrude a surface two directions with draft and capped ends does it automatically make it a solid???
Is this how it is suppose to function? There appears to not be the option (check box) of keeping it a surface or making the enclosed surface a solid.
It need it to stay an enclosed surface. I can work around it, yes (with more steps). But it seems like the option should be there. Am I missing something?
Also, it would be nice to be able to cap both ends of a single direction enclosed extruded surface as well as being able to choose which end you want to cap, start or end or both.
This is how it has always functioned since it was released in SW2011 SP0.
I have actually used it on solid parts, as it can be used to make raised panels and other bump-outs easily. Very counter-intuitive though.
I don't think you are "missing anything", that's just the way it is. I do not know why.
