PolyExtrude Along Custom Point Normals

Recommended Posts

I have this simple test model:

extrude_a.jpg

I then modified the normals to all point towards the center (excluding the Y axis):

extrude_b.jpg

Now I want to extrude along those modified normals using the new PolyExtrude:

extrude_c.jpg

The results were not what I was hoping to get. :(

I kinda want to achieve something similar to this result:

extrude_d.jpg
I used the Local transform mode for the above image.

* Although it does the job.. I'm unable to control the extrusion amount using a distance value.
* The amount of extrusion in that last image was from a Scale parameter..
* I was hoping that I could extrude, using a specified Distance amount, along the custom Point Normals I created. Is it currently possible?

For now, my workaround was to use simple point wrangles to offset the extruded faces (used a very small amount of extrusion as a cheat).
