By set distance do you mean increment???

maybe this?

Hi Marios,
Thanks for your reply! By 'set distance' I mean that the extrusion height of each cylinder increases by the same amount each time as they move away from the attractor. e.g. the total height grows from 1 to 1.5 to 2 to 2.5 moving up 0.5 units each time.

Is this how you have set up your definition? It looks like a great help to me regardless.

Yeap. that's right. I have set up a slider to do this. in the snapshot the increment is 0.1 m but you change it to whatever value you like..

Hi Marios,

If I wanted to extrude a group of surfaces based on an attractor point, can I do the same as above using the extrude command and take the attractor point as the direction for extrusion?

Hi,

I've been working with this definition and I am trying to do two things.  One, I'd like to add multiple attractor points.  Two, is there a way to set a vertical limit on the extrusion while still keeping the controlled stepping with the cylinders?  Has anyone attempted or has successfully achieved this?

Thanks,

Stanley

I want to do the same! Did you find a solution?

Thanks Lukas
