Extruding from a Surface

sewerhunter · 13th December 2008, 06:37 PM

I'm a new user, working on creating 3D images of ships from builders plans. I use the polygon tool to create the shape of an individual member, then the extrude function to make it three dimensional. However, it doesn't work consistently, and more often than not, when trying to extrude I receive the message, "Extrude Failed: There are no external surface edges." Can somebody walk me through how to do this correctly?"
