2. Press Ctrl+click a mesh face.
   NoteIf you cannot select a face, verify whether subobject selection filtering is turned on for a different subobject type. (Right-click in the drawing area and click Subobject Selection Filter.)
3. Drag the face in the direction of the extrusion. Then specify the amount of extrusion using one of the following methods:
