Hello everybody,

I am new to this list and hope it is okay to start with a question.
I have already imported a *.stl file using the Merge option and am now 
struggling to create a prismatic layer around it. As far as I now, it can be 
done with the 
Extrude{Surface{surface_number};Layers{{number_of_layers},{height_of_the_layer}};}
command. Therefore, I first have to define a surface on my stl-geometry in 
order to refer to it. When I try to assign a elementary ruled surface, nothing 
happens (I can’t even highlight a surface). When I try to assign a physical 
surface, gmsh seems to accept it. At least the surface appears in the *.geo 
file. When I want to extrude the newly created surface, gmsh complains about an 
unknown surface 5.
My whole *.geo file looks like the following:

Merge „mygeometry.stl";

Physical Surface(5) = {2};

Extrude{Surface{5};Layers{{10},{0.5}};};

I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks a lot in advance,

Kate
