Plane Guided Extrude

Hello,

I am going to start with an image explaining my issue.

I am trying to get the extrusion to follow the angle of the plane.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you so much for your time :slight_smile:

Hi, so I see that you need to generate a plane perpendicular to the plane you’re working with. Here’s another possible solution.

Another is to use deconstruct plane immediately before construct plane and just swap axes. (that’s if you need the whole plane. what HS_Kim did above, as always, seems to be the most efficient solution possible in this situation.)

There should be a “orthogonal plane” component with a plane input and a boolean toggle to pick between going from xy to xz or xy to yz.

Update: Here’s a user object I made: Rotate Plane 3d. I suggest sliders from -180 to 180.
