Edge Extrude

With the Edge Extrude tool, edges are shifted outward along the average normal of their two neighboring polygons. New faces are added between the edge and their neighbor polygons so that their neighbors can remain in their original plane. Neighbor polygons are shrunk by the same amount and in the same manner as for edge bevel.
