Extrudes a 2D polygon shape to create a 3D mesh.
</brief_description>

- An array of 2D points is extruded to quickly and easily create a variety of 3D meshes.
+ An array of 2D points is extruded to quickly and easily create a variety of 3D meshes. See also [CSGMesh3D] for using 3D meshes as CSG nodes.
+ [b]Note:[/b] CSG nodes are intended to be used for level prototyping. Creating CSG nodes has a significant CPU cost compared to creating a [MeshInstance3D] with a [PrimitiveMesh]. Moving a CSG node within another CSG node also has a significant CPU cost, so it should be avoided during gameplay.
