offset and extrude code

[Anonymous]

I'm still new to scripting and python but i have the basic understanding, but iv been struggling to offset and/or extrude a sketch. iv tried sample codes but cant quite understand what to change to suit the fact that i want to change a existing sketch

can anyone help me with links, code downloads, recommendations, tips, etc

this is all i have been able to get working currently in python:

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, traceback


def run(context):
    ui = None
    try:
        app = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui = app.userInterface

        # Create a document.
        doc = app.documents.add(adsk.core.DocumentTypes.FusionDesignDocumentType)

        product = app.activeProduct
        design = adsk.fusion.Design.cast(product)

        # Get the root component of the active design
        rootComp = design.rootComponent

        # Get extrude features
        extrudes = rootComp.features.extrudeFeatures

        # Create sketch
        sketches = rootComp.sketches
        sketch = sketches.add(rootComp.xZConstructionPlane)
        sketchCircles = sketch.sketchCurves.sketchCircles
        centerPoint = adsk.core.Point3D.create(0, 0, 0)
        circle = sketchCircles.addByCenterRadius(centerPoint, 5.0)

        # Get the profile defined by the circle
        prof = sketch.profiles.item(0)

        # Create another sketch
        sketchVertical = sketches.add(rootComp.yZConstructionPlane)
        sketchCirclesVertical = sketchVertical.sketchCurves.sketchCircles
        centerPointVertical = adsk.core.Point3D.create(0, 1, 0)
        cicleVertical = sketchCirclesVertical.addByCenterRadius(centerPointVertical, 0.5)

        # Get the profile defined by the vertical circle
        profVertical = sketchVertical.profiles.item(0)

        # Extrude Sample 1: A simple way of creating typical extrusions (extrusion that goes from the profile plane the specified distance).
        # Define a distance extent of 5 cm
        distance = adsk.core.ValueInput.createByReal(5)
        extrude1 = extrudes.addSimple(prof, distance, adsk.fusion.FeatureOperations.NewBodyFeatureOperation)
        # Get the extrusion body
        body1 = extrude1.bodies.item(0)
        body1.name = "simple"

        # Get the state of the extrusion
        health = extrude1.healthState
        if health == adsk.fusion.FeatureHealthStates.WarningFeatureHealthState or health == adsk.fusion.FeatureHealthStates.ErrorFeatureHealthState:
            message = extrude1.errorOrWarningMessage

        # Get the state of timeline object
        timeline = design.timeline
        timelineObj = timeline.item(timeline.count - 1);
        health = timelineObj.healthState
        message = timelineObj.errorOrWarningMessage
    except:
        if ui:
            ui.messa

This is some related post showing how to edit a sketch. It also shows how to select an existing sketch but you can ignore it. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-api-and-scripts/how-do-i-select-a-sketch-and-edit-it-how-d...
