Surface extrude breaking up entities.

Hello. Is there a way to stop the surface extrude function from breaking up the surfaces? I'm extruding circles and the results are giving me 2 surfaces in the length.

Motorcity,

 

I never used this until now but it appears that create cylinder with surfaces selected will do what you want if you are extruding circles. It was a little tricky figure out how to make it work but it does create one surface instead of two. Also you can incorporate an arc you already have drawn into your selection process. I do not know of a way to stop the surface extrude function from breaking up the surfaces.

I'll try that. I usually extrude the circles into another surface then trim them to create a hole that I can create a curve on. This works great for creating splines. Thanks for the tip.
