Hi charge port,

The easiest way to have a Null Extrude is to use the Extrude Capsule. Use the Preset option to create a zero extrude preset.

Perhaps not what you asked for, but worth mentioning.

The second way would be to go via Script Log,, while reset, calling up Extrude, setting it to zero, and Apply.

Then copy the Python script from the Log into the Script Manager and save the script.
The script can be supplied with a shortcut in the Command Manager.
I have checked this in 2025, and it works.
An older tutorial is here:

If you like to dive into scripting, this is the forum to go:

Here in this forum, we have decided to have no coding, as any code shared can harm artists/users. I can't check every "minute" if there is somewhere a post that has swapped out secure code with malware. So, if I see the code here, it will be deleted; sorry, but security comes first! Hence, the Coder forum is the place to go.

As a side note, getting some basic Python first is a good idea (Variables, lists, structure, etc.)

Enjoy your exploration

You're very welcome, charge-pot!

I'm glad you got what you wanted and created it on your own, meaning that it is something that you can expand for other projects. Perfect.

Thank you for the reply.

All the best
