After further investigation it appears extrude by normal does function as in version 5; I was trying to extrude an apparently more complex 3D surface. Is there a way to extrude a sphere in a single operation? I mean, to accurately make a sphere grow outward or inward enlarging or shrinking the segments to fit? I thought I had done this is V5 but I must have subdivided "my shape" into something akin to hemispheres or spherical quadrants before extruding.
In regard to "select through," it seems to work as expected for vertices, selecting the foremost vertex when unchecked and selecting all below or behind when checked. This is not the case for surfaces, I can't seem to discover any underlaying logic or consistencies, for this most basic of operations.
Blue side up,
