Is there a way to extrude a solid using push/pull or some other tool so that the solid is skewed by a set angle? Scenario: I draw a 10mmx10mm square that I will extrude to a 20mm height. However I want the solid to "lean" at 15 degree. The top and bottom will still be parallel to each other at the set height of 20mm but when viewed from the side it looks like a rhombus instead of a rectangle.

When using the PP tool, I've tried using the y coord in conjunction with the distance (and the z dist.) setting to induce the offset but that changes the height etc. Setting the y changes the z and vice versa. Is there a way to constrain the input dims? I also tried a deep select and selected just the top face and move it by the desired amount but the face wouldn't move. any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello

Try the extrude tool- extrude by vector option.

I'm using 2d/3d v9 and I think that tool isn't in this version.

The extrude tool has a drop down in the top once the tool is active. With options like distance and vector

Or draw a line that describes the vector and use it as a rail for sweeping the profile.
