# cross_sections
|
|
|
|
Given a 2D shape, 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>;
