When using simple extrusion SIMPLE_EXTRUSION method, choosing the direction to be anything but 3 (extrusion in the z-vertical direction) the 2D mesh is not properly rotated and the 3D mesh is messed up. The workaround is to use the SWEEP_ALONG_CURVE sweeping method and choose the SWEEP_CURVE in the desired direction to accomplish the same thing, but properly. It has been thought to deprecate the simple extrusion because of the redundant functionality.
