Extrude by world? (3DS Max)

mixeh

In short, I'm working on an asset that requires a lot of extrudes from polygons on angles, however I want the extrude to be perfectly horizontal along the x axis and the extrude tool only gives the options "Group" "By Polygon" "Local Normal". I wonder if there was a way to do it by world axis.

I know I can delete a face, and shift extrude the edges, but then I have to cap it off and it's a slow procedure for how many I have to do, also it would be just good to know for future assets that I may need to do this.

Any scripts or anything out there?

Extrude with a height of 0, then move the faces in the axis you want. You can move in exact unit increments by right clicking on the move tool button in the top toolbar.
