Hi,

go to local control tab -> activate the checkbox (distance scale) -> define prim attribute called zscale (or rename it), just use
prim wrangle and set @zscale = @Cd.g;

Still not extruding at all, even tho the attribute values are there.
I have Local Control/Local Attribute/check boxed “Distance Scale/Zscale”.
I run primitive wrangle over primitive after poly extrude with “@zscale = @Cd.g;”, but the extruding is not happening.

Hey so, I know this isn't exactly what you're after and I'm interested in it too but for the time being this might work you might have to adjust the settings a bit.

Hi, I've attached a hip file and screenshot showing some options.

1st and 2nd methods move the wrangle above the extrude.
1st and 3rd methods use Individual components on the extrude. (and a Boolean to clean up)
2nd method uses a soft peak.
3rd method uses distance from geometry.
