Here is an example script that creates some offset planes, various sketches, then creates a Skin, Sweep, Revolve, and Extrude. The sketches were actually created interactively initially, then saved using the "Write Script: Sketch(es) of Active Plane" option. These files were then changed slightly to allow them to be combined together into this example. It demonstrates how the various Script functions can be used together to create a part.

//***************************************************************************
//All sketches were created interactively, then sketches for each plane
//were written out with the "Write Sketch" command in the file menu.
//These individual sketch scripts were then combined into a single file
//with slight name changes. The various plane and feature commands were
//added to create the final result. Most of the actual creation logic is
//near the end of the example.
