Extruding in a for loop

Wyatt_ThomasWyatt_Thomas Member Posts: 2
I am trying to extrude this sketch in a for loop but it doesn't work when I have multiple selections. I will create multiple sketches if I remove the extrude tho. Any Ideas? Here is the code:

var sketchQueries = [];

        var recId = "rectangle1";
        
        var sketchid = id + "sketch";

        for (var i = 0; i < numberOfEdges; i += 1)
        {
            sketchid = sketchid + i;



            var edge = edges[i];

            filletid = filletid + i;

            extrudeid = extrudeid + i;

            var midPoint is Line = (evEdgeTangentLine(context, {
                        "edge" : edge,
                        "parameter" : .5
                    }));

            //debug(context, midPoint);

            var cSys is CoordSystem = coordSystem(midPoint.origin, xDirection, zDirection);

            //debug(context, cSys);

            var planeSketch is Plane = plane(cSys);

            var sketch1 = newSketchOnPlane(context, sketchid, {
                    "sketchPlane" : planeSketch
                });
            // Create sketch entities here
            skRectangle(sketch1, recId, {
                        "firstCorner" : vector(.25, 0) * inch,
                        "secondCorner" : vector(-.25, -.06) * inch
                    });

            skSolve(sketch1);

            sketchQueries = qSketchRegion(sketchid);

            // debug(context, sketchQueries);

            opExtrude(context, id + i + "extrude", {
                        "entities" : sketchQueries,
                        "direction" : zDirection,
                        "endBound" : BoundingType.BLIND,
                        "endDepth" : .15 * inch
                    });
