In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Extrude face

Hello everyone,
I used extrude face several times for a cube so now it's a curved bar. But I want to use extrude face on the whole object now, how do I delete all my subdiversions?

Greetings Brecht

not sure what you mean... you created a curved bar and then smoothed it?

if that's the case you could set your subdivisions on the smooth to zero, then do whatever work you need done.

I followed your advice by extruding the lower two things that are sticking out there, but it's about the selected thing. I want those subdiversions out, one whole piece, so I can extrude the left face to make the sharp piece of the blade broader.

well that's not really a good idea... best bet is to select all of the faces of the one side, and then extrude with 'keep faces together' checked in the menu towards the bottom. then you can extrude like you want.

at the same time (although not recommended) you can go into edge mode, highlight all the edges you don't want, and choose delete edge. i still recommend doing the first thing i suggested.
