Surface extrude into solid

Hi,

I am looking for method to extrude surface into solid, ‘z’ direction. Is there anything that gives straight result? Or do I need to code this around?

I think this is what you are looking for:

Rhino.Geometry.Extrusion extrusion = Rhino.Geometry.Extrusion.Create(curve, ext_height, create_cap);

But this is valid only for flat curves. The same way I can use Box. I was rather counting, that there is a method, that will allow me to make solid from curved surface.

You can use Rhino.Geometry.BrepFace.CreateExtrusion()
You have to duplicate the face from a brep first.
Very crudely:

  using(GetObject gob = new GetObject())
  {
    gob.SetCommandPrompt("Pick a brep");
    gob.GeometryFilter = Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectType.Brep;
    GetResult rc = gob.Get();
    if(rc == GetResult.Object)
    {
      ObjRef or = gob.Object(0);
      Brep brep = or.Brep();
      Brep facebr = brep.Faces[0].DuplicateFace(false);
      BrepFace face = facebr.Faces[0];

      double u = face.UnderlyingSurface().Domain(0).Mid;
      double v = face.UnderlyingSurface().Domain(1).Mid;
      Vector3d N = face.NormalAt(u, v);
      Line l = new Line(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, N.X, N.Y, N.Z);
      LineCurve dir = new LineCurve(l);
      Brep b2 = face.CreateExtrusion(dir, true);
      doc.Objects.AddBrep(b2);
    }
  }
