Pen Extrude

Determines the termination of the path.

• Open - Remains open as you create the path.

• Closed - Generates an extra path between the first and last knots to make a closed loop.

When enabled, aligns segment edges with the curve's direction vector to produce a consistent thickness.

Aligns the extruded shape to the normal direction of the initially selected polygon.

When enabled, uses the curve as a relative guide based on the original geometry as the true starting location. When disabled, may cause the newly created geometry to move away from the intended original location. (An extrusion may have its initial control knot imperfectly aligned with the geometry to be extruded.)

When enabled, scales corners automatically to maintain the proper thickness over the extrusion's length.

Displays a number for the currently selected vertex. Because the tool may have created several vertices, you may want to select one numerically. Modo numbers the vertices in sequence as you generate them with the tool. You can select a different vertex to edit its the Position values.

Determines the position in 3D space where the currently selected vertex is. To move the currently selected vertex, you can type a new position.

When enabled, snaps the pen tool handles along the World XYZ axes once you create more than one vertex.

Tries to snap the handle to a position for creating a straight line between the next and previous vertices in the polygon being created.

Snaps when the angle created by the current, previous, and next vertices form a 90-degree angle.

Specifies whether to use the U or V axis when placing UV data for newly created geometry.

Reverses the normal facing direction of the polygons generated by the extrusion.

Forces the back end of the extruded geometry to be capped or closed.

Specifies the size of the 1D or 2D profile to sweep. If the size is 0.0, Modo uses the real size.

Controls the detail tolerance of the conversion from the original curve to the resulting polygon extrusion. This indicates the minimum angle used when Modo subdivides the Bezier curve to a string of two-point polygons for extrusion.

Specifies the pivot position of the profile.

Specifies the offset amounts on the profile space.

Reverses the selected profile related to the horizontal or vertical axis.
