Hi,
I used to be able to do this on Rhino 7, and can not find a way to do it on rhino 8
Select an curve or edge, press CTRL+shift and drag the axis plane indicator in the gumbal to any direction, this resulted on a surface being extruded in both directions both also free to be oriented (not only on to the gumball arrow)
does anyone know if this is a setting or how to do it now?
Ref picture and video
Extrude in both directions with the GumBall in Rhino 6 & 7 (youtube.com)
In Rhino 8 shift seems to scale no matter if control is pressed or not. I think scaling should only happen if control isn’t pressed.
Seems like a regression to me…
yeah only difference is with control you extrude a surface.
I found bouth side extrusion more useful
Using the dot on an arrow, the extrusion goes to both sides when shift is pressed. I also think shift should do the same on the plane extrusion and shift should only scale when control isn’t pressed.
Right when pressing the dot is doing both sides, but like i said in rhino 7 i was able to do it using the axis plane indicator
Maybe they just forgot to add this option again…
Thanks for reporting. I opened the issue here.
Hi @Uriel_Soto ,
In Rhino 8 you can do the same using a single axis scale handle with Shift+Ctrl, will that work for you? I don’t see a difference in the result here on curves or SubD edge loops.
Hi Brian, I think the freedom to choose the direction of the extrusion is a relevant part of the problem here…
If Shift is held the direction is from the origin uniformly. Maybe I’m missing something?
Hi Brian,
Actually the issue is about extruding a curve or edge into a surface, both directions, using the “axis plane indicator” or waffle, this was possible in rhino 7 but apparently not in rhino 8
I think shift should make the extrusion go to both sides.
Currently shift scales the edge which to me deos not make sense if ctrl is pressed at the same time
Can you post a file with the exact steps to perform please? I see no difference using the single axis scale handle with Shift+Ctrl on a curve or surface edge in v7 and v8. I do see that the 2 axis handle allowed this on curves and SubD edges in Rhino 7 but did not allow it on NURBS Surface edges and the same is true for v8.
We aimed to simplify many of the keyboard combos and order required on GB shortcuts in v8 and if there is functionality lost we’ll try and fix/restore that. If using the single axis handle with Shift+Ctrl does the same, can that work for you? Again, if I am missing something I am open to understanding more. A file and steps to compare in v7 versus v8 will help.
Sorry I can post a screen record of Rhino 7 tonight after work, right now I just have acces to rhino 8 but here another description
Strange, this works here in v8 for me the same as you describe. I’m dragging with the 2 axis handle > holding Ctrl > adding Shift > releasing left mouse. In the case of the circle, I am using the single axis handle.
oh that is cool, I have to be honest and say that my rhino 8 is not up to day thanks to my IT department. I will talk to them and let you know if it works. thanks
I’m not seeing that here in the video I just posted. Please post a file with steps if you see otherwise.

@BrianJ what build are you using?
I just installed the latest Rhino 9 WIP and the shift button aborts extrusions done with a plane grip.
