Mendel90/README.txt

Limitations
-----------
Currently only supports mendel and sturdy machine variants, the huxley version needs more work.

Use
---
Add the directory of the OpenScad executable to your search. For Windows OpenSCAD-2012.02 or later is required. For Linux it will need to be OpenScad-2011.12 or later.

To make all the files for a machine run
    make_machine.py machine_name

To make just the bom, sheets or stls run bom.py, sheets.py or stls.py machine_name.

machine_name can be mendel or sturdy. To make your own variant copy scad\conf\mendel_config.scad or scad\conf\sturdy_config.scad to yourname_config.scad.  Then run make_machine yourname.

To view the model of the whole machine, open scad\main.scad. It will take several minutes to render (about about 8 miniutes on my computer) but after that you can pan and zoom it at reasonable speed and changes takes less time to render.  (Note: main.scad will only render correctly if conf\machine.scad exists, which is created by the make_machine.py script.)

To view a sub-assembly, open the individual scad files. Set the exploded flag in config.scad to make exploded views.

Openscad_cl was found to be unecessary as the Python wrapper does the same thing. Openscad.exe has been removed, README.txt now specifies the required version. Stls.py and Sheets.py now use relative include paths. openscad.py now prints the command it is executing. 2012-03-27 18:12:04 +01:00			`Add the directory of the OpenScad executable to your search.
