# Profile along a Path

![CmdCADExtrusionProfileAlongPath.svg](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/CmdCADExtrusionProfileAlongPath.svg)

This command creates a CAD surface corresponding to a profile extrusion along a path.

> [!TIP]
> ### Requirements
> 
> Select first a profile then a path (both profile and path can be a CAD wire, a CAD curve, or a linear geometry) and launch the command.
> 
> Select only a profile and you will have to select a path inside the command.

1. Check **Close extremities**, if you want a closed CAD surface as output
2. Check **Make perpendicular to the path** if you want the profile to extrude to be perpendicular to the first vector of the path.
3. Check **Set profile as starting position** if you want the extrusion to start at the profile position instead of path position.
4. Check the direction of the path and click on **Reverse direction** if necessary.

> [!WARNING]
> ### Notes
> 
> **Close extremities** option is available only if the profile is planar and closed, and if the path is not closed
