# cross_sections
|
|
|
|
Given a 2D shape, points and angles along the path, this function will return all cross-sections. Combined with the `sweep` module, you can create a specific path extrusion.
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
|
|
use <sweep.scad>
|
|
use <cross_sections.scad>
|
|
use <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]]
|
|
];
|
|
|
|
sweep(
|
|
cross_sections(shape_pts, pts, angles, twist = 180, scale = 0.1)
|
|
);
