Extrude Sketch requires profile path to be closed #478

When using Tinkercad (TC), I can use the Extrude Sketch to make, for example, a 3 sided box as shown in the screenshot. Tinkercads Extrude Sketch: Layerlings response to the same type of sketch: |

@Cowski4444, an open line is possible in layerling, but you ask for it in another way: in the Finish section of the sketch, switch on Stroke and set the width. The line is then built as a stripe of that width, centred on the line, with flat, square or round ends. Your three-sided box is exactly that: a U-shaped line with the wall thickness you set, which you then extrude. Without Stroke, Extrude Sketch needs a closed outline, as you saw. The guide describes it in Building as a stroke. The message you got does not point to it, and I will change that. |

@Cowski4444, the message for an open line now says that you can switch on Stroke, in every language. It is in 1.86.0. |
