I thought it would extend the surface without moving it. Kinda like "grow" the surface in the normal direction.

Ok, here's what I'm trying to do. I'm modeling a gun barrel. It was created using a cylinder. The surfaces on the front of the cylinder have been removed so it looks hollow. Now, I want to thicken the barrel internaly (i.e. reduce the barrel thickness). So I select a surface and extrue by distace in the normal direction...which gives good results, except when I look at the outside of the barrel and the surfaced has moved.

humm.. maybe I need something else to do this
