# cross_sections
|
||||
|
||||
Given a starting cross-section, points and angles along the path, this function will return all cross-sections. Combined with the `polysections` module, you can create a specific path extrusion.
|
||||
|
||||
It depends on the `rotate_p` function. Remember to include "rotate_p.scad".
|
||||
|
||||
## Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
- `shape_pts`: A list of points represent a shape. See the example below.
|
||||
- `path_pts` : A list of points represent the path.
|
||||
- `angles` : A list of angles. Each point should have a corresponding angle used to rotate the 2D shape.
|
||||
- `twist`: The number of degrees of through which the shape is extruded.
|
||||
- `scale` : Scales the 2D shape by this value over the length of the extrusion. Scale can be a scalar or a vector.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
include <rotate_p.scad>;
|
||||
include <polysections.scad>;
|
||||
include <cross_sections.scad>;
|
||||
include <archimedean_spiral.scad>;
|
||||
|
||||
shape_pts = [
|
||||
[-2, -10],
|
||||
[-2, 10],
|
||||
[2, 10],
|
||||
[2, -10]
|
||||
];
|
||||
|
||||
pts_angles = archimedean_spiral(
|
||||
arm_distance = 20,
|
||||
init_angle = 180,
|
||||
point_distance = 5,
|
||||
num_of_points = 100
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
pts = [for(pt_angle = pts_angles) pt_angle[0]];
|
||||
angles = [
|
||||
for(i = [0:len(pts_angles) - 1]) [90, 0, pts_angles[i][1]]
|
||||
];
|
||||
|
||||
polysections(
|
||||
cross_sections(shape_pts, pts, angles, twist = 180, scale = 0.1)
|
||||
);
