extrude	Extend a 2-dimensional sketch through a third dimension in order to	manual

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.

extrude(sketch_set: SketchSet, length: number) -> SolidSet

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Required
sketch_set	SketchSet	Which sketches should be extruded	Yes
length	number	How far to extrude the given sketches	Yes

Returns

SolidSet - A solid or a group of solids.

Examples
