Parameters

Name Type Description
entity Base The construction plane or face that the feature extent it up to.
isChained boolean

This is an optional argument whose default value is null.

Samples

Name Description
extrudeFeatures.add using setTwoSidesExtent Demonstrates the extrudeFeatures.add method using the setTwoSidesExtent method. To use this sample have a design open that contains a profile and a body that is positioned away from the profile but is a size where when the profile is extruded it will intersect the body. When you run the script you will be prompted to select the profile that will be used to create the extrusion and the body to extrude to. The extrusion will be created up to the body with an offset and will also be offset from the sketch plane.
