Hi Mark,
Extruded meshes (using Layers) are only supported on the unmodified geometrical
extrusion, both with the built-in and the Opens Cascade kernels. The reason is
that the mesh is generated using the original extrusion specification
(translation vector or rotation): if the geometry is modified this
specification becomes invalid. In some simple cases it could be recomputed
(e.g. in your example), but in general cases (the shape gets cut by another
one) it cannot...
We will add an explicit point about this in the docs.
Thanks for the feedback,
Christophe
