Controlling Profile Edges and Extrusion
Use this procedure to specify the following parameters for a profile:
â–  the position of each edge in a profile (left, right, back, discard, none)
â–  the axis along which an object is extruded from the shape of a profile
These settings determine how surface hatching is applied to objects created
from the profile and how the objects are extruded from the two-dimensional
(2D) profile.
NOTE Objects already created from the profile change when you change profile
edges or the axis of extrusion.
