09:38 <petaflot> hello! I'm having this issue importing an element from an SVG file.. I've done it before, I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong and there are no messages in the console: `linear_extrude(1) import("KLI.svg", id="K");`; both files reside in the same directory (I've tried using an absolute path, to no avail), and I have version 2024.05.02

09:54 <petaflot> ok I got it.. I had omitted to transform the single letter 'K' into a path

10:18 <teepee> petaflot: yes, text is not supported yet, I started adding some time ago, but it's far from finished

10:18 <teepee> that said, if you have dedicated text, why use SVG instead of the font directly?

10:24 <petaflot> teepee because of scaling... in the end I added a square frame because it didn't look so great (it's an intersection of 3 letters arranged on 3 faces of a cube)

10:36 <J24k36> petaflot textmetrics and offset / resize should give you all you need to make that look nice

10:59 <petaflot> J24k36: this is what I ended up doing before adding the frame and not scaling anything. working with SVGs has the advantage of simplicity for some things..

17:06 <petaflot> (above) I would add a notice on the wiki that only paths (and primitives like circles/rectangles..?) are imported for now

17:08 <lf94> what's the coolest openscad code these days

17:23 <teepee> petaflot: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/SVG_Import#Limitations ?

18:08 <JordanBrown> teepee That limitations section doesn't cover lines that do not form closed polygons, and does not cover overlapping polygons. I don't know the exact limitations, or I'd write something.

18:08 <JordanBrown> Colors too.

18:09 <JordanBrown> (Though we could in theory import SVG not as a single node, but as a tree in its own right.)

18:09 <JordanBrown> Not that importing it as a tree would let you do anything other than set up Z-fighting :-)

19:17 <petaflot> teepee: I'm too tired I can't even read anymore. apologies

19:27 <teepee> petaflot: no worries, if you have better wording, feel free to share that :)

19:29 <teepee> JordanBrown: well, there's a dedicated section https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/SVG_Import#Open_and_closed_shapes

19:30 <teepee> and "Especially all animation features and most visual properties in the SVG file are ignored" covers colors in my view, it does not get much more visual

20:42 <guso78k> I just read about search function ... still this code does not yield any error. is something useful happening behind the scenes ?
