Querying and extruding rectangles

jeff_day734

FeatureScript noob here: I've spent hours trying to understand how to query and extrude faces on a sketch. I have a set of rectangles inside a larger rectangle, and I want to find and extrude the inner rectangles and outer rectangle to different heights. I have no problem getting the outer rectangle using this: var entities = qSketchRegion(id + "sketch", true);

But I can't figure out how to query the inner rectangles. Or, to be more precise, when I try to operate on what I believe is a valid query, I get empty array errors.

Here's the sketch in question. It's named "sketch1." Any tips on how to find and extrude all the faces?

You can use the filter inner loops to get the whole region and the outer area and subtract to get the inner area.

var outerRegion = qSketchRegion(id +"sketch1", true); // extrude this at one height

var wholeRegion = qSketchRegion(id +"sketch1", false); // used to help get the inner region

var innerRegion = qSubtraction(wholeRegion,outerRegion); // extrude this at the other height

This worked. Thanks @Caden_Armstrong. Gives me a better sense on how to use and perform set operations on queries.
