Sketching is the foundational activity for most KCL programs. A sketch is a two-dimensional drawing made from paths or shapes. A sketch is always drawn on a surface (either an abstract plane of a face of a solid). A sketch can be made into a solid by extruding it (or revolving, etc.). 

This module contains functions for creating and manipulating sketches, and making them into solids.
