Extruding 3D forms

- [Instructor] In the last video we finished up the labeling and dimensioning steps of our algorithm by adding angle dimensions to each one of our trapezoidal panel profiles. I'm continuing right where I left off. So, zooming out here in Grasshopper you can track up to the right-hand corner of my definition and see the last few steps that we need to take care of in our algorithm here. So, the next one I'm going to take care of is working on extruding the profiles into a 3D form. I'm going to drag that down closer to this step where we're subtracting the spline profiles from the shelf profiles, and that will give us a good space to work on those next steps. While I'm at it here, I'm going to right click, and disable preview on all my dimensions. I don't need those right now, and there just going to be a little bit distracting. To make it a little easier to work with, let's just turn off all of those dimensions. Let's see, I think I can also go ahead and disable the preview on those…
