segLen	Returns the length of the segment.	manual

Returns the length of the segment.

segLen(segment_name: TagIdentifier, sketch_group: SketchGroup) -> number

Examples

const exampleSketch = startSketchOn("XZ")
  |> startProfileAt([0, 0], %)
  |> angledLine({ angle: 60, length: 10 }, %, $thing)
  |> tangentialArc({ offset: -120, radius: 5 }, %)
  |> angledLine({ angle: -60, length: segLen(thing, %) }, %)
  |> close(%)

const example = extrude(5, exampleSketch)
