So, first a tech note. By default, the Rhino extrude command uses a sometimes wonderful memory-saving technique. Giving you lightweight extrusions, which are a little bit different then when other commands are used to produce poly surfaces. The goal is to reduce memory, so theoretically these will save you about 90% of the amount of space in memory compared to normal geometry. Let's take a look. So, all of these shapes look like poly surfaces that've been extruded. But, they are classified as lightweight. And you find that out. You select one of them and turn on F10. Which is control points. Which is not allowed for a poly surface. But, you do get them here. It's only a few cases where…
