These are lines I extracted from a command in my add-in. It behaves correctly in a standard part but not in a sheet metal part. Please check the video or follow these steps:
- Paste the rule below into an external rule.
- Open a sheet metal part.
- Run the rule twice, selecting an IPT file each time.
- If you check the log, you will see that you are supposed to create a solid, but it is not visible in the view.
