Examples

exampleSketch = startSketchOn(XZ)
  |> startProfile(at = [0, 0])
  |> xLine(length = 15)
  |> angledLine(angle = 80, length = 15)
  |> line(end = [8, -10])
  |> xLine(length = 10)
  |> angledLine(angle = 120, length = 30)
  |> xLine(length = -15)
  |> close()

example = extrude(exampleSketch, length = 10)
