You can make a (regular) Draft/Polygon and extrude it (Part/Extrude).
It takes less than one minute.

It seems you can...

I was using Sketcher.

Hi Shoogen, IMHO the Sketcher Workbench would be easier and faster for the user if it had "Draw Polygon" and "Draw Ellipse" functions as is currently available in the Draft Workbench.
