[GRASS-user] v.extrude - keeping attribute table?

[Jon Sundquist]

I would add I am running Grass 6.4.4

I just noticed the v.extrude manual for Grass 7.0 adds this additional
information:

"v.extrude modifies only features geometry. Feature categories
remain untouched and attribute data is copied from input vector map
to the output."

Perhaps this functionality was added with 7.0?  Or is it the case that
just the manual was updated?

Regardless, I will try updating to 7.
