Extrude a two dimensional shape in an upward linear direction.

The two dimensional shape is extruded to the height, upwards along the Z axis. The two dimensional shape is be rotated twist angle about the Z axis during the extrusion, creating twistSteps during the extrusion.

Note: The two dimensional shape can be placed anywhere to create various twisted shapes.

Defaults:

• height : 1
• twist : 0
• twistSteps : 1

linear_extrude({ height: 10 }, square());
linear_extrude({ height: 10, twist: 90 }, square([1,2]));
linear_extrude({ height: 10, twist: 360, slices: 50}, circle().translate([1,0,0]) );
 
linear_extrude({ height: 10, center: true, twist: 360, slices: 50}, translate([2,0,0], square([1,2])) );
linear_extrude({ height: 10, center: true, twist: 360, slices: 50}, square([1,2]).translate([2,0,0]) );

Linear extrusion of 2D shape, with optional twist. The 2d shape is placed in in z=0 plane and extruded into direction offset (a CSG.Vector3D). The final face is rotated twistangle degrees. Rotation is done around the origin of the 2D shape (i.e. x=0, y=0) twiststeps determines the resolution of the twist (should be >= 1), returns a CSG object:
