# ![Extrude Face icon](images/icons/Face_Extrude.png) Extrude Faces
|
||
|
|
||
|
The __Extrude Faces__ action creates a new face. To do this, it pulls out the currently selected face, and attaches sides to each edge.
|
||
|
|
||
|
By default, each new face follows the direction of its vertex normals, but you can change this with the **Extrude By** option.

||

|
||
|
|
||
|
You can invoke this action in either way:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Select one or more face(s) and click **Extrude Faces**. By default, the distance of the extrusion is **0.5**, but you can change that with the **Distance** option.
|
||
|
|
||
|
> **Tip:** You can also use this action with the **Ctrl/Cmd+E** shortcut, or from the ProBuilder menu (**Tools** > **ProBuilder** > **Geometry** > **Extrude**).
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Select one or more face(s) and then hold **Shift** while moving, rotating, or scaling the selected face(s). This method ignores the options but provides greater control, especially with the direction of the extrusion.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When you use this method with the scaling control, it creates an inset.
|

|
## Extrude Faces Options
|
||
|
|
||
|
These options only apply if you are using the **Extrude Faces** button or the **Ctrl/Cmd+E** shortcut.
