Josh, There is another command you're looking for. The "extrude" command, as you discovered, only works with "boxes" (which we call 'arbs'). To extrude a sketch object, you'll want to create an "extrude" object through our normal object creation facilities. More to the point, you can either run the "in" command or use the Create menu. The 'in' command will interactively prompt you for parameters:
mged> in Enter name of solid: myextrude Enter solid type: extrude Enter X, Y, Z of vertex: 0 0 0 Enter X, Y, Z of H: 0 0 1 Enter X, Y, Z of A: 1 0 0 Enter X, Y, Z of B: 0 1 0 Enter name of sketch: mysketch Cheers!
