We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi Nasma

DesignModeler has an default limit of 1 km 'bounding box' where are geometry has to be within this box.  So that is +/- 500 m in each x/y/z direction.  Which is why it fails to extrude more that 500 m in one direction.

In Tools -> Options; Units you can turn On the 'Large Model Support' which changes the bounding box to I think 10 km sides; 1000 km^3 total volume if I remember correctly.
