# Extrude

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page covers the **Extrude node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It extrudes points, edges or polygons like the Mesh-menu command — the fundamental additive operation in node-based modeling.

This Node can be used to extrude points, edges or polygons. This function reflects for the most part the [modeling](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/TOOLEXTRUDE.html.md) command of the same name in the Mesh menu.

As usual, point, edge or polygon selections can be used to restrict the extrusion to specific parts of the shape, as in this example.
