I stumbled across a case where an extrude creates what appears to be bogus geometry. I've attached the design, please let me know if other info would be helpful.
This isn't some kind of blocking issue, for what that's worth--I just saw some unexpected behavior and thought I'd report it.

Thanks, I would have expected an error message, or at least for the health state of the extrude feature to be something other than HealthyFeatureHealthState.
The extrude does create valid geometry! Valid in this case means it does not violate BRep rules of the geometric modeling kernel. That you consider it "bad' is a judgement call you should be able make and is better not left to some algorithm.
actually, in this particular case, the geometry is, indeed bad. There are some illegal faces created here. The reason, though, is still the combination of too-short extrude + too-big taper angle. The reason why you do not see an error in this case is that the operation itself succeeded. We do not check the body after every feature for the simple reason that doing so would be expensive. If we turned on body checking after every feature, performance would suffer a lot. We are hoping to introduce a body check/repair command in the future, but until then, it's almost a "doctor it hurts if I do this"/"then don't do that" situation.
