  Extrusion is Jumping between X and Y axis when extruding a polygon edge

  Posted by Matiss Jansons on June 11, 2020 at 7:52 am

  Hi,

  I’m having a real hard time trying to figure out why whenever I try to extrude an edge of a polygon, it constantly changes the direction across x and y axes.
  Is there a way to make it work on a single plane?

  Here’s a screenshot of the problem.
  

  I would just need the extrusion to happen on one plane.

  Your help is much appreciated!

  Thanks!

  Make sure the “Edge Angle” is set to 0°. If the angle is set to 90° that will cause the behavior you describe. You may have inadvertently held the shift key after starting to drag, which allows that angle to be changed.
