startProfileFunction in std::sketch

Start a new profile at a given point.

startProfile(
  @sketchSurface: Plane | Face,
  at: Point2d,
  tag?: TagDeclarator,
): Sketch

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Required
`sketchSurface`	`Plane` or `Face`	What to start the profile on	Yes
`at`	`Point2d`	Where to start the profile. An absolute point.	Yes
`tag`	`TagDeclarator`	Tag this first starting point	No

Returns

Sketch - A sketch is a collection of paths.

Examples

exampleSketch = startSketchOn(XZ)
  |> startProfile(at = [0, 0])
  |> line(end = [10, 0])
  |> line(end = [0, 10])
  |> line(end = [-10, 0])
  |> close()

example = extrude(exampleSketch, length = 5)
