Create Shape in the modeling tools... question about setting height

[GeneMpls]

I understand and use the curved profile and angular profile function.
Whenever I use the flat profile I have to create the shape and then
edit the height- unlike the other two and I don't understand why the
final height is grayed out. Please help an old man out? I have looked thru the manual and searched online at different times with no satisfaction. Thanks Gene

Hi Gene,

Here's how I'd explain it.... Since it is going to be a 'flat' profile object or component, there is no 'shape' (dome or angle) profile to extrude up/down, so you just give it a base height and that is your final height.

Thank you Scott. That is kinda what I thought- but it seems strange to me. Not sure why the scale to exact height control could not be active. Like they say
'first world problems'. I love the program but there are still things that puzzle me and I like to try to figger them out. Gene
