Examples

// Horizontal pill.
pillSketch = startSketchOn(XZ)
  |> startProfileAt([0, 0], %)
  |> line(end = [20, 0])
  |> tangentialArc(end = [0, 10], tag = $arc1)
  |> angledLine(angle = tangentToEnd(arc1), length = 20)
  |> tangentialArc(end = [0, -10])
  |> close()

pillExtrude = extrude(pillSketch, length = 10)
