A circular pattern on a 3D model.



```js
patternCircular3d(data: CircularPattern3dData, extrude_group: ExtrudeGroup) -> [ExtrudeGroup]
```

### Examples

```js
const part = startSketchOn('XY')
  |> startProfileAt([0, 0], %)
  |> line([0, 1], %)
  |> line([1, 0], %)
  |> line([0, -1], %)
  |> close(%)
  |> extrude(1, %)
  |> patternCircular3d({
       axis: [1, 1, 0],
       center: [10, 0, 10],
       repetitions: 10,
       arcDegrees: 360,
       rotateDuplicates: true
     }, %)
```
