SheetMetalStart

I am working on code for a configurator for a cart and I cant seem to figure out how to write up a sheetMetalStart command, or if there is a better way to extrude sheet metal than that. I am fairly new to featurescript so if there's some better documentation somewhere than what I found that would be very helpful

I have just about 0 FeatureScript writing experience, but if you're making a configurator, it might be possible to model the part within Onshape's UI as a configurable assembly/part studio, and then retrieve the model data with the API for your configurator. I think this might be a good post with some more information and jumping off points: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/10625/embed-onshape-model
I’m sorry I should specify I said configurator but that’s not really what I am working on. its a custom feature which will take variables and make a complex part. I just cant seem to find good documentation about using featurescript for sheet metal.
Ah, that's out of my league then! I hope your project goes well! Sorry I couldn't help. The best I can do is just paste some links from sheet metal featurescripts I've found and/or used:
