Here is the code for a simple cylinder 20mm in height and radius 15mm : Carving Out Overlapping Shapes with intersection You can also carve away everything except the overlapping portion of two shapes by using the intersection. "true" causes the prism to be centered on the axes "false" causes the prism to be drawn starting at one corner. Because the vector values are not the same, the "cube" is actually a rectangular prism. Here is the code for a cube that is 40mm on a side. This parameter is only needed for correctly displaying the object in OpenCSG preview mode and has no effect on the polyhedron rendering.Ī subtree is the code following a module call up to the next semicolon that is outside braces (" is required if there are statements after the subtree. The convexity parameter specifies the maximum number of front or back sides a ray intersecting the object might penetrate. Here are some vector values to be used for color In defining color values, the vectors are or. The most common vectors are or in defining shapes. You should change some of the code to experiment with it.Ī vector is a number of values between, as. Creates the intersection of all child nodes. Visualizations of the code are not included here in order that you might be inspired to cut and paste it into a running openSCAD to see how it looks. As an example, this is an invalid OpenSCAD program, and will at least lead to a warning on most platforms: // Invalid size 10. Facilitate the expansion of the tutorial by many users.Include things that a beginner might not know, but that a more experienced user would regard as "clutter".

Each coding example uses things that have been described earlier in the tutorial. Include things in order of how they might be learned.This tutorial is not meant to replace the openSCAD manual, but to I prefer a tutorial on just one subject.A tutorial should be read from the top down, so the wiki format is better, IMHO. A blog lists later articles before earlier ones.Chapter 3: Resizing models and more ways of combining objects. Chapter 2: Scaling the model and first steps for parameterizing models. This tutorial copies the information from the Thingiverse tutorial blog. Chapter 1: A few words about OpenSCAD and getting started with the first object.
