Why is it doing this when I extrude the polygon?
show user profile  Robby907
The polygon I select is not working the right way when I extrude it. Different vertex's go in different directions and its a mess. How can I fix this or work around it?

Never mind guys I figured out another way to do it. I used Beveled it instead with 0 inset/outset.

It's a mess , because your topology is a mess .
So it's meant to happen like this , when you have 1541154 sided faces .
1 face - 4 vertex , have a nice retopology .

As others said in other thread , there's nothing wrong with your topology , as the rendering is working .
But :
You can't do animations for model like that , and as that's architectural stuff , you don't need it .
When you extrude , it calculates the way it's gonna do based on topology , so when you have nGone with such a lot vertexes , than it's gonna just go everywhere .

Silard, although I do agree with that in general, just wondering where do you see a render that's working here? :D

I think it was in another post. It looked fine (i.e. no pinching and shit).
