# Attachment Parts
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some objects provide named attachable parts that you can select
|
||||||
|
instead of using the main geometry for the object. One important kind
|
||||||
|
of attachable part is the inside of a tube.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here is a tube with its anchors shown:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```openscad-3D
|
||||||
|
include<BOSL2/std.scad>
|
||||||
|
tube(id=20,h=15,wall=3)
|
||||||
|
show_anchors();
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The anchors are all on the outside wall of the tube and give you no
|
||||||
|
method for placing a child **inside** the tube. In order to attach
|
||||||
|
inside the tube, we select the "inside" part using the `attach_part()`
|
||||||
|
module.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```openscad-3D
|
||||||
|
include<BOSL2/std.scad>
|
||||||
|
tube(id=20,h=15,wall=3)
|
||||||
|
attach_part("inside")
|
||||||
|
align(BACK,TOP)
|
||||||
|
color("lightblue") cuboid(4);
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now when we align the cube to the BACK wall of the tube it appears on
|
||||||
|
the inside of the tube. If you need to attach to both the inside and
|
||||||
|
outside you can place some attachments using `attach_part()` and some
|
||||||
|
with the standard attachment geometry on the outside like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```openscad-3D
|
||||||
|
include<BOSL2/std.scad>
|
||||||
|
diff()
|
||||||
|
tube(id=20,h=15,wall=3){
|
||||||
|
attach([1,-1/2],BOT)
|
||||||
|
color("green")cyl(d=4,h=3,$fn=12);
|
||||||
|
attach_part("inside"){
|
||||||
|
attach(LEFT,BOT,align=TOP)
|
||||||
|
color("lightblue")cuboid(4);
|
||||||
|
attach(BACK,CTR,align=TOP,inside=true, inset=-0.1)
|
||||||
|
cuboid(4);
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
