Extruding a QR code

Hello. Obviously, not a mission critical question. I use Onshape for 3D printing and to stay generally knowledgeable about parametric design. I was trying to take a QR Code and turn it into an extruded shape. The import process was not successful. It ended with invalid shapes. Because I had a little free time on my hand (and a bottle of wine) I drew the shape in a sketch hoping that this would overcome whatever errors were occurring in the import. The extrude function becomes extremely confused, probably because of the semi-connected blocks in the QR code. Do we have a way to import a QR code and perhaps embed it into a shape that is being built by a vendor? It could give them the part number and our contact information if they scan it in the field. That would be interesting in my real job.

I have added the special feature.
Not much in the way of instructions. No result.
Never mind. I was not using all the options correction. Thanks! This is cool.
Thanks. I'm not familiar with how to add custom features, but I will look for some instructions.
