API Extrude 2 sides Through All

Trying to Extrude a new body from a Profile, in 2 directions, and 'through all'

If I change to 1 direction the extrude works, but something in the code for 2 directions isn't right and I just can't see it

uProfile = sketch.profiles.item(0) extrudes = rootComp.features.extrudeFeatures extrudeInput = extrudes.createInput(uProfile, adsk.fusion.FeatureOperations.NewBodyFeatureOperation) # Create an extent definition of through-all type. extent_all = adsk.fusion.ThroughAllExtentDefinition.create() extrudeInput.setTwoSidesExtent(extent_all, extent_all) extrude5 = extrudes.add(extrudeInput)

You're right it weirdly doesn't seem to work. Maybe you're meant to use

extrudeInput.setOneSideExtent(extent_all, adsk.fusion.ExtentDirections.SymmetricExtentDirection)

which does work.

using the above suggestion, it is only extruding in the positive direction.

uProfile = sketch.profiles.item(0) extrudes = rootComp.features.extrudeFeatures extrudeInput = extrudes.createInput(uProfile, adsk.fusion.FeatureOperations.CutFeatureOperation) # Create an extent definition of through-all type. extent_all = adsk.fusion.ThroughAllExtentDefinition.create() extrudeInput.setOneSideExtent(extent_all, adsk.fusion.ExtentDirections.SymmetricExtentDirection) extrude5 = extrudes.add(extrudeInput) body5 = extrude5.bodies.item(0)

Sorry that's my bad, I thought it worked when it didn't. After further testing, it def seems that the settwosidesextent method is bugged because if either of the sides is a through all extent definition, the other side's value isn't taken into account. Also the set symmetric extent definition only accepts value inputs so you'll probably have to use 2 extrude features (or have fun with text commands but that's probably not worth it for such a simple endeavor).

I'm not able to reproduce the problem. It works for me with the script below and the attached design.

def run(context): try: app = adsk.core.Application.get() ui: adsk.core.UserInterface = app.userInterface design = adsk.fusion.Design.cast(app.activeProduct) root = design.rootComponent sk = root.sketches.itemByName('Sketch3') prof = sk.profiles.item(0) extInput = root.features.extrudeFeatures.createInput(prof, adsk.fusion.FeatureOperations.NewBodyFeatureOperation) thruAll = adsk.fusion.ThroughAllExtentDefinition.create() extInput.setTwoSidesExtent(thruAll, thruAll) root.features.extrudeFeatures.add(extInput) except: ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))
