Hi all,
If I have a list of faces as a query and then use for ( var face in faces), how do ai pass face to a function that needs a query for its entities such as extrude?
Thank you.

Typically you do not need to iterate through a query.
A query isnt really a list, its more of a set of instructions describing what to do an operation on.
So for an extrude, your "faces" query can just be passed in directly, and the query is evaluated at runtime.
If for some reason you do need to iterate through a query, you need to do an evaluateQuery on it first.
If you havent already, check out the learning centre course on featurescript. Theres a section on queries.
