opIntersectFaces curves don't create extrudable region

  The way I've always done this is to get the intersecting curves, then make a fill surface from them, and thicken this surface. It saves messing around with sketches. I also think it is easier to do it for a single intersection, then use feature patterning to to the other ribs…

  Thanks, You lead me down the right path. Here is what I ended up with…

          // Define the function's action
          const allFaces = evaluateQuery(context, definition.faces);
          var i = 0;
          // for each plane
          for (var face in allFaces)
          {
              i += 1;
  
              // Intersect with the wingBody
              const bodyFaces = qOwnedByBody(definition.wingBody, EntityType.FACE);
  
              const curve = opIntersectFaces(context, id + (i ~ "intersect"), {
                          "tools" : bodyFaces,
                          "targets" : face
                      });
  
              opFillSurface(context, id + (i ~ "fillSurface"), {
                          "edgesG0" : qCreatedBy(id + (i ~ "intersect"), EntityType.EDGE)
                      });
  
              var plane = evPlane(context, {
                      "face" : face
                  });
  
              var extrudeFace = qCreatedBy(id + (i ~ "fillSurface"), EntityType.FACE);
  
              opExtrude(context, id + (i ~ "extrude"), {
                          "entities" : extrudeFace,
                          "endBound" : BoundingType.BLIND,
                          "endDepth" : definition.ribWidth * inch,
                          "direction" : plane.normal
                      });
          }
