|
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.
|
|
|
|
You can provide more than one sketch to extrude, and they will all be extruded in the same direction.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
extrude(
|
|
sketches: [Sketch],
|
|
length: number,
|
|
symmetric?: bool,
|
|
bidirectionalLength?: number,
|
|
tagStart?: TagDeclarator,
|
|
tagEnd?: TagDeclarator,
|
|
): [Solid]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Arguments
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description | Required |
|
|
|----------|------|-------------|----------|
|
|
| `sketches` | [`[Sketch]`](/docs/kcl/types/Sketch) | Which sketch or sketches should be extruded | Yes |
|
|
| `length` | [`number`](/docs/kcl/types/number) | How far to extrude the given sketches | Yes |
|
|
| `symmetric` | [`bool`](/docs/kcl/types/bool) | If true, the extrusion will happen symmetrically around the sketch. Otherwise, the | No |
|
|
| `bidirectionalLength` | [`number`](/docs/kcl/types/number) | If specified, will also extrude in the opposite direction to 'distance' to the specified distance. If 'symmetric' is true, this value is ignored. | No |
|
|
| `tagStart` | [`TagDeclarator`](/docs/kcl/types#tag-declaration) | A named tag for the face at the start of the extrusion, i.e. the original sketch | No |
|
|
| `tagEnd` | [`TagDeclarator`](/docs/kcl/types#tag-declaration) | A named tag for the face at the end of the extrusion, i.e. the new face created by extruding the original sketch | No |
|
|
|
|
### Returns
|
|
|
|
[`[Solid]`](/docs/kcl/types/Solid)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
example = startSketchOn(XZ)
|
|
|> startProfile(at = [0, 0])
|
|
|> line(end = [10, 0])
|
|
|> arc(angleStart = 120, angleEnd = 0, radius = 5)
|
|
|> line(end = [5, 0])
|
|
|> line(end = [0, 10])
|
|
|> bezierCurve(control1 = [-10, 0], control2 = [2, 10], end = [-5, 10])
|
|
|> line(end = [-5, -2])
|
|
|> close()
|
|
|> extrude(length = 10)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
exampleSketch = startSketchOn(XZ)
|
|
|> startProfile(at = [-10, 0])
|
|
|> arc(angleStart = 120, angleEnd = -60, radius = 5)
|
|
|> line(end = [10, 0])
|
|
|> line(end = [5, 0])
|
|
|> bezierCurve(control1 = [-3, 0], control2 = [2, 10], end = [-5, 10])
|
|
|> line(end = [-4, 10])
|
|
|> line(end = [-5, -2])
|
|
|> close()
|
|
|
|
