Extruding a surface is equivalent to the Extrude Boss/Base operation from solid modeling. Allows you to extrude a surface from a sketch in two directions. However, a less known functionality of Surface Extrusion is the ability to create an extrusion on an existing surface from a wall. You can extrude a planar face when selected with ALT or a 3D face. For non-planar faces, remember the direction vector, which can....

Radial surface divergence to show the deformed washer
Different features in SOLIDWORKS have different uses. Radial surface spreading is mainly used to create parting surfaces and faces in molds. But it also finds less typical use, e.g. to make the shape of the deformed washer. Of course, you can use this operation as you wish, remember though, that it is not normally found on the Surfaces tab. So you can add it...
