Model: extrude a face into a shape

Pull a face out or push it in. A rectangle becomes a block; a rectangle on a wall becomes a recess.

1. 1. Pull

   Press E, click a face and move. Click, or type the distance and press Enter.

2. 2. Push in

   A negative number pushes in. Pushed all the way through, it makes a hole; further than the shape is deep is not possible.

3. 3. Keep the start face

   Hold Ctrl while you click to keep the face you started from, for a floor between storeys.
