dotSCAD 2.2.1

Reduce the burden of mathematics when playing OpenSCAD.

Introduction

Based on OpenSCAD 2019.05. For old OpenSCAD versions, please use dotSCAD 1.3. You can download all versions from the releases.

OpenSCAD uses three library locations, the installation library, built-in library, and user defined libraries. It's convenient to set OPENSCADPATH. Check Setting OPENSCADPATH in OpenSCAD User Manual/Libraries for details.

Every module or function is located in the file which has the same name as the module or the function. For example, if you want to use the line2d module to draw a line, use <line2d.scad>; first.

use <line2d.scad>;

line2d(p1 = [0, 0], p2 = [5, 0], width = 1);

Some module files are organized in a directory. For example, px_circle.scad exists in pixel directory. You have to prefix the directory name when including px_circle.

use <pixel/px_circle.scad>;

points = px_circle(radius = 10);
for(pt = points) {
    translate(pt) square(1);
}

About dotSCAD

I've been using OpenSCAD for years and created some funny things. Some of them include several important ideas and details. To prevent forgetfulness, I decided to write them down. Some examples developed in the documentation are useful so I elaborate them into this library.

The idea of the name dotSCAD comes from the filename extension ".scad" of OpenSCAD.
