Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Extrude") to extrude objects from a work plane or planar faces in the 3D geometry.

Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection("input") to select the work plane objects to extrude. The default selection is all available objects from the last preceding work plane.

Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection("inputface") to select the faces to extrude. Faces are extruded when the workplane property is none; otherwise work plane objects are extruded.

Each planar input is extruded in nd layers defined by a local coordinate system. By default, nd=1. The property distance is the extrusion distance (of each layer) in the z-axis direction of the local system. The properties displ, scale, and twist define the translation displacements, scale factors and rotation of the top (of each layer) with respect to the bottom of the extruded object. The last array dimension in the properties displ, scale, and twist can be omitted if the same value is desired for all layers.

When extruding work plane objects, the local system is defined as the local system of the work plane. When extruding faces, the local system is defined by the face with the smallest face number in the object that comes first in the geometry sequence. The local z-axis is parallel to the face normal and located at the center of the face. The local x-axis is defined by the tangent direction corresponding to the first parameter in the surface representation for the face.
