extrude
Extend a 2-dimensional sketch through a third dimension in order to create new 3-dimensional volume, or if extruded into an existing volume, cut into an existing solid.
You can provide more than one sketch to extrude, and they will all be extruded in the same direction.
extrude(
sketches: [Sketch],
length: number,
tagStart?: TagDeclarator,
tagEnd?: TagDeclarator,
): [Solid]
Arguments
Name | Type | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
sketches | [Sketch] | Which sketch or sketches should be extruded | Yes |
length | number | How far to extrude the given sketches | Yes |
tagStart | TagDeclarator | A named tag for the face at the start of the extrusion, i.e. the original sketch | No |
tagEnd | TagDeclarator | A named tag for the face at the end of the extrusion, i.e. the new face created by extruding the original sketch | No |
