Extruding, other side does not have face As you see in the picture, after extruding the bottom face, it seems to simply move up. There really is no bottom face now. Sorry if it's hard to understand. I need it to have two faces instead of one. One on the very bottom, and one where it's extruded. I know you can extrude the bottom edges and then merge them, but is there any easier way? I don't want the bottom face when I extrude it to be one-sided. I think Maya actually creates a new face.

Thanks!
If you extrude a face connected to other faces, the extrusion will leave a hole.



But if you extrude a disconnected face, you will have a solid shape. If you press Y to disconnect the shape before extruding it, you will make it solid and have that bottom face.

EDIT:
But, beware, if you do this, you will get weird geometry. Things might not be connected the way you want. I feel a little dirty, doing it. :)
