3D model description

OpenSCAD is a quite powerful tool, but sometimes you happen to hit its limits.
One of the "features" i was missing is the ability to create a profile along a given path.
So I developped a python library, which extends openSCAD with this feature, but also other generative features can possibly be added.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.5 installed
  • alongpath.py
  • samples (optional)

Use the samples and/or create own applications with fit your needs
This is how it works:

SETUP

  • Edit the python sample file with your needs, use python syntax to create a profile and a path function
  • use alongPath to combine these functions
  • add an openSCAD Section which uses these figures
  • use writeOpenScad to write the openSCAD file
  • run the python script
  • open it with openSCAD to display the result

USE

To change/alter/tweak the result:

  • change parameters in the python file
  • save it
  • run it.
  • OpenScad will automatically update the view due to the external editor feature

Its as easy as developping in an external editor

Hope this Helps
