Thin Extrude in FS

Hi there. I am trying to extrude the lines/edges of a sketch (baseSketch) that i have previously created.
First, I tried to use this:
First, I tried to use this:
extrude(context, id + "extrude1", {
"bodyType" : ExtendedToolBodyType.THIN,
// "oppositeDirection" : true,
"depth" : baseHeight,
// "wallShape" : qCreatedBy(id + "baseSketch", EntityType.BODY),
"wallShape" : qSketchRegion(id + "baseSketch"),
"thickness1" : strut / 2,
"thickness2" : strut / 2
});
But it throws an error that reads: throw OFFSET_WIRE_SELECT_WALL_PATH
Then I read online that I need to break down the steps, and start with an opExtrude, so I tried this:

opExtrude(context, id + "extrude1", {
// "entities" : sketchEntityQuery(id + "baseSketch", EntityType.EDGE, baseSketch),
"entities" : qCreatedBy(id + "baseSketch", EntityType.EDGE),
// "direction" : evOwnerSketchPlane(context, {"entity" : sketchEntityQuery(id + "baseSketch", EntityType.EDGE, "baseSketch")}).normal,
// "direction" : qCreatedBy(newId() + "Top", EntityType.FACE),
// "direction" : evOwnerSketchPlane(context, {"entity" : qCreatedBy(newId() + "Top", EntityType.FACE)}).normal,
// "direction" : evPlane(context, {"face" : qCreatedBy(newId() + "Top")}),
// "direction" : evOwnerSketchPlane(context, {"entity" : qCreatedBy(id + "baseSketch", EntityType.EDGE)}).normal,
"direction" : evPlane(context, {
"face" : qCreatedBy(id + "baseSketch", EntityType.FACE)
}),
"endBound" : BoundingType.BLIND,
"endDepth" : 1 * inch
});
(Please ignored the commented out entities and directions, I was testing out(?) different combinations in hopes that it would work, but it didn't)
The error that this current code throw is: @evPlane: CANNOT_RESOLVE_ENTITIES
I think that I am supposed to query the plane for the "direction" param, but I doubt I'm doing that correctly and I'm not sure how to approach this. I'm pretty new to FS coding, so thanks for any help!
