Introduction
Extrude is a way to create 3d shapes from 2d shapes. The method shown here
creates a cross section in an extrude node.
For information about the alternative method without using the extrudeNode
see here. This method may be better
if you want to do collision detection.
Steps
Start the program (see here for deails of
how to load the program)
Insert a TransformGoup node. To do this click on 
to
show the 'insert view', then drag a transfornGroupBean from the insert view
to the tree view:
Close the insert view and add a 2D view:
It might help to rearrange the views so that they dont overlap:
Setup the 2D view by clicking on its 'info' button. This brings up a dialog
window, set the valuse as follows:
Mode: 3d from plan
Grid size: 20
