This extrude function is added by the third party Second Life plugin.
It does an extrusion and tries to preserve a valid texture map. The distance each surface is moved is proportional to the surface area. Using it with Sculpties (the shapes that can be used in Second Life) allows more detail to be added without corrupting the texture map.
For more info - see Help->About-plugins and select the Second Life plugin.

I'd like to use this command quite often, but with a defined distance!
I didn't find a setting for the distance.
Am I doing something wrong or do I need another command-combination.
Thanks.
