Cone Script

I am trying to make a simple script that creates a cone, but I cant seem to get the opRevolve method to work

  const frontSketchId = id + "frontSketch";
  const radius = 1;
  const height = 3;

  // Create a new sketch on the front plane
  var frontSketch = newSketch(context, frontSketchId, {
          "sketchPlane" : qCreatedBy(makeId("Front"), EntityType.FACE)
      });

  skLineSegment(frontSketch, "axis", {
              "start" : vector(0, 0) * centimeter,
              "end" : vector(0, height) * centimeter
          });

  // Add a line for the cone profile
  skLineSegment(frontSketch, "profile", {
              "start" : vector(0, 0) * centimeter,
              "end" : vector(radius, height) * centimeter
          });

  // Solve the sketch
  skSolve(frontSketch);

  // Use opRevolve to create the cone
  opRevolve(context, id + "revolve", {
      "entities": qCreatedBy(frontSketchId, EntityType.FACE),
      "axis": qCreatedBy(frontSketchId, EntityType.EDGE),
      "angle": 360 * degree
  });

The error looks like this

Thanks in advance for any response 😃

You need one more skLineSegment to close the profile if you want a solid (or not if you want a surface), but the main problem is your axis - you're giving it all the edges from the sketch and it needs one. Best just to use vector(0,0,1).
