Shalom, selecting a group of points with the Drag Points mode gives you the same result as the Extrude tool of Sculpt with the additional benefits of magnetism. –Rick

Rick, Once points are selected with Drag points, can they be rotated and extruded? Shalom

Shalom, you can't extrude points directly with drag points, but I have a work-around idea. Clone the outline of the object you wish to extrude and paste it back onto the work surface. Select the points you wish to manipulate and drag them back to wherever you desire. Now select both object outlines and skin them. You'll now have one extruded object. Also, as soon as Boolean operations are completed, you'll be able to auto-face your outlines by simply pushing them through a plane. Hope that helps. –Rick

Rick, Thankds for the advice, but it still needs to be simplified. I think multiple extrudes and rotations are so important to object creation, serious attention should be paid to this feature. I'll give your technique a try. Thanks for being there! Shalom
