input.setTwoSidesExtent problem

[brad.bylls]

The code below is part of an add-in script I am developing.

This works just fine in a part of the script just above it that is almost identical.

    # Create Plate AX

    plateAXprof = moldBaseSketch.profiles[0]

    plateAXextInput = extrudes.createInput(plateAXprof, adsk.fusion.FeatureOperations.NewBodyFeatureOperation)

    deg0 = adsk.core.ValueInput.createByString("0 deg")

    distance3 = adsk.core.ValueInput.createByReal(numPlateXthickness) # distance3 = 2.2225

    distance4 = adsk.core.ValueInput.createByReal((numPlateXthickness + numPlateAXthickness) * -1) # distance 4 = -5.715

    plateAXextInput.setTwoSidesExtent(distance3, distance4, deg0, deg0) # numPlateAXthickness = 3.4925 - line 410

    plateAXext = extrudes.add(plateAXextInput)

This is the cryptic error message I am getting.

Can someone please explain.

Thank you.

The setTwoSidesExtent method takes two ExtentDefinition objects for the first two arguments.  You're providing ValueInput objects.  Here's a modified version of your code that works for me.

numPlateXthickness = 2.2225
numPlateAXthickness = 3.4925 

plateAXprof = moldBaseSketch.profiles[0]
plateAXextInput = extrudes.createInput(plateAXprof, adsk.fusion.FeatureOperations.NewBodyFeatureOperation)
deg0 = adsk.core.ValueInput.createByString("0 deg")
distance3 = adsk.core.ValueInput.createByReal(numPlateXthickness)
distance4 = adsk.core.ValueInput.createByReal((numPlateXthickness + numPlateAXthickness) * -1)
ext1 = adsk.fusion.DistanceExtentDefinition.create(distance3)
ext2 = adsk.fusion.DistanceExtentDefinition.create(distance4)
deg0 = adsk.core.ValueInput.createByReal(0)
plateAXextInput.setTwoSidesExtent(ext1, ext2, deg0, deg0)
plateAXext = extrudes.add(plateAXextInput)

My bad.
I looked at the code several times and just didn't get it.
Thanks so much.
