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

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Required
length	number		Yes
sketch_set	SketchSet	A sketch or a group of sketches.	Yes

Returns

SolidSet - A solid or a group of solids.
