Feature script extrude offset issue
Hi,
I would like to know how I can make an extrude with an offset within a feature script. The link below points to an example project with a failed offset extrude.
The parameter "hasOffset" is set to true and the "offsetDistance" is set to 5 * millimeter. The feature script generates without error but also without offset.

Ah, you want to offset along the direction of the extrude. Well the default extrude feature already has this.
If you hover your cursor over opExtrude, it will give you a list of parameters that it can take. Use those parameters to fill out the extrudes definition.

Thank you for the response! That is actually a cool feature it takes an offset from the corner (island). I would like to know how I use the offsetDistance parameter in the extrude function correctly to set an offset in the extrude direction.
