Create a set of extension faces between the burning surfaces and the electrode base.
Note: This function is only available when an electrode document is active.
Tip: When one extension
is completed, it creates the contour for the next extension. It is, therefore,
recommended to use Apply 
rather than OK 
when moving from one extension to the next, until the last
extension has been created.
