Below is my code generated with the record feature:<\/p>\n

# Set New Sketch<\/div>\n
result = SketchHelper.StartConstraintSketching()<\/div>\n
# EndBlock<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
# Sketch Rectangle<\/div>\n
point1 = Point2D.Create(MM(17),MM(-18))<\/div>\n
point2 = Point2D.Create(MM(-20),MM(-18))<\/div>\n
point3 = Point2D.Create(MM(-20),MM(24))<\/div>\n
result = SketchRectangle.Create(point1, point2, point3)<\/div>\n
# EndBlock<\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
# Solidify Sketch<\/div>\n
mode = InteractionMode.Solid<\/div>\n
result = ViewHelper.SetViewMode(mode, Info6)<\/div>\n
# EndBlock<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

selection = Face1<\/div>\n

# EndBlock<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
I must say I really don’t like the automatic creation of the metadata objects. In this case I would like to create an appropriate face\/selection from SketchRectangle.Create(point1, point2, point3) that I can pass to ExtrudeFaces.Execute(selection, MM(-21.37), options) but I can’t seem to figure out how to select that face. Please advise, thanks!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-293674","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-spaceclaim","topic-tag-api","topic-tag-extrude","topic-tag-python","topic-tag-sketch","topic-tag-spaceclaim"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
