Help with extruding along the 3D cursor Recently I've been following an online tutorial video on 3D modelling, and in the current course I'm working on, I am currently engaged on modelling a gear, however I've run into a bit of a problem in this endeavor.

Unfortunately, switching between the Median Point and the 3D Cursor doesn't seem to make any noticeable difference in the manner of how the gear is supposed to be extruded.

The example shown in the video of how it is supposed to appear


Any insight into this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Also you can in extrude press Esc for cancel transition, then press  S
