# DMPlexTransformExtrudeSetTensor
Set the flag to use tensor cells 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdmplextransform.h" 
PetscErrorCode DMPlexTransformExtrudeSetTensor(DMPlexTransform tr, PetscBool useTensor)
```
Not collective


## Input Parameters

- ***tr  -*** The DMPlexTransform
- ***useTensor -*** The flag for tensor cells


Note: This flag determines the orientation behavior of the created points. For example, if tensor is PETSC_TRUE, then DM_POLYTOPE_POINT_PRISM_TENSOR is made instead of DM_POLYTOPE_SEGMENT, DM_POLYTOPE_SEG_PRISM_TENSOR instead of DM_POLYTOPE_QUADRILATERAL, DM_POLYTOPE_TRI_PRISM_TENSOR instead of DM_POLYTOPE_TRI_PRISM, and DM_POLYTOPE_QUAD_PRISM_TENSOR instead of DM_POLYTOPE_HEXAHEDRON.
