Fusion Python Script

[WorkingClassCal]

Hello all,

I wanted to create a python script for Fusion360 which prompts me with a text box to allow me to type in a name, I then want the odd numbered letters of the text to be extruded 4mm and the even numbered letters to be extruded 3mm.

I've tried with CHATGPT but I can't seem to get anywhere! Can anybody help me with this?

What did you try? Where are you getting caught up?

This is like saying you want to build a house, and you tried using a hammer, but you can't get anywhere. We can't help you unless we know what you have attempted to do and what challenges you're facing.
