The trick to that is to select the vertices you want to flatten, then do a Selection-Resize to 0 in the dimension you want to flatten. For this example, use the top view to marquee select the front faces, then do a Selection-Resize and change the Y scale to 0% (leave the X Scale and Z Scale at 100%). After that, you might want to move those faces back a bit in the Y plane, to make the figure less thick front-to-back. I did something similar when extruding the leg. First I extruded the thigh, then while the face was still selected, I resized the Z Scale to 50%, then extruded the shin. That way the shin was at a more vertical angle than the thigh. Then I resized the Z Scale to 0%, so that when I extruded the foot it was nice a flat relative to the floor. I forget where I read this trick, it was in some Carrara faq I printed out, so I can't take credit it for. Comes in pretty handy, though. --Terri
