So this is a ridiculous question but I find that when I learn programs by messing with them I miss a bunch of basic stuff. Anyways.
I need to extrude a whole lot of buildings in a city. So I am extruding the curves as surfaces straight. But every time I extrude one I have to change the option from Cap=no to Cap=yes. How do I set it to yes permanently so I don't have to do it every time?
Random bumps, extrusions, and hills and valleys, usually planar. Used in 3D modeling and animation to add interesting detail, like that on the surface of the DeathStar.

It should be yes by default. Are you using 3 or 4?
You could just extrude your curves as a solid rather than a surface
Using 4. I don't know the default is no. Is creating scheme the easiest way, seems somewhat ridiculous.
As far as using solids over extruded surfaces what is the end difference?
you can very quickly select all of those extrusions and then type 'cap'
Will cap work if open on bot ends? I haven't tried 4 yet.
[i]both/i] ends...
Ah turds you know what I mean.
use the solid command "extrude solid from planar curve" not the surface command
that will auto cap anything it makes, this solid
if you use the toolbars,
surface toolbar has extrude straight, while the solid toolbar has extrude closed planar curve.
you could create a custom toolbar where you could place the tools you prefer
greebles....
as in....
