Extrusions are a very popular structural component. They are manufactured by drawing them out from a single block of metal and are generally typified by their sharp corners. This month I will demonstrate the process by which easily constructed flat (orthographic) views can be created and then converted to an isometric view. Covered here are examples of an angle bracket, a box beam, a hat rail, and corner extrusion with gasket tabs. I will also demonstrate how to convert one angle bracket into the forty-eight possible isometric combinations with a few mouse clicks.
