This will work, and give a result that should look ok given that the starting mesh is sufficiently detailed. Then just transform each vertex in the PolySet with your bend function. To start with, I just suggest you make sure the input geometry is a PolySet (collect the children, see other examples in GeometryEvaluator). in GeometryEvaluator., implement a Response GeometryEvaluator::visit(State &state, const ReshapeNode &node) (once again, see the other methods there for examples).create a ReshapeNode and ReshapeModule (see linearextrudenode.h and ).You can add it to the module'sĮxport lists if you want to play with it.I suggest you start by adding a builtin module: Offset is missing even though it's documented, as it isn't supportedīy a released version of OpenSCAD, so presumably subject to change.

Together', you'll see it highlighting errors in the object. That will probably change in the future.įinally, polygon and polyhedron can generate errors on input that At this time, no tests are done on theįaces. Have more points, the new version will be used. OpenSCAD supports both: ifĪll your faces are triangles, it will use the old version. Requires that the faces all be triangles, the new version allows for Something like: draw $ polyhedron ]Īlso, the OpenSCAD polyedron code recently changed. If you really want to do it the OpenSCAD way, you can do Of points and then references to them, you just enter the pointsĭirectly. Rather than expecting you to enter a list The interfaces for polygons and polyhedrons is seriously differentįrom the OpenSCAD interface. Later, this may turn into import2d and import3d. Projection, or solid) you'll get a compile error because the type isĪmbiguous. This does create the oddity that if you import a fileĪnd try and render it without doing something to indicate how manyĭimensions it has (one of the transformations, an extrusion or I couldn't find a sane way toĬheck that you're importing the right file type, so detecting suchĮrrors - including importing a 3d file and trying to extrude it - have The OpenSCAD documentation for usage information. If no OpenSCAD function name is given, then OpenSCAD function name, along with the names of the arguments from the The documentation is generally just the corresponding Remember whether box is a constructor or a convenience function,īecause of this, the constructors are not documented, the exportedįunctions are. It also provides consistency, as otherwise you'd have to This allows extra checking to be done on those that The type constructors are not exported, with functions being exported Recompiling your program will cause the model to be loaded That file in OpenSCAD, and set it to automatically reload if the fileĬhanges. Standard usage is to have a main function that looks like: main = draw $ SolidĪnd then set your IDE's compile command to use runhaskell orĮquivalent to run your code and send the output to a. Render wouldn't work if the type was still ambiguous, ala render $ While two-dimensional model creationĬould be polymorphic functions that create either, so that such modelsĬould be treated as either 2d or 3d, you'd still have to explicitlyĬonvert models whose type was fixed as 2d by a transformation, and If you want to mix them, you mustĮxplicitly convert between them. The primary effect of this is that Graphics.OpenSCAD distinguishesīetween 2d and 3d Models. Source that causes OpenSCAD to complain, please open an issue. OpenSCAD model definitions calls, along with a function to render itĪs a string, and some utilities. The Graphics.OpenSCAD module provides abstract data types for creating
