hello
<Guest10>
any opinions on bosl2 vs constructive library
<Guest10>
?
<Guest10>
anybody here?
<teepee>
Guest10: opinitions about what specifically? I only used bols2 a bit so far
<Guest10>
how do they feel when using them
<Guest10>
i just read the tutorials a bit and constructive library looks a bit more complicated when it comes to orienting one part to another
<teepee>
yeah, that attaching feature of bosl looks relatively easy to use
<Guest10>
Until now i've only used vanilla openscad. Absolute pain in the ass sticking pieces together. Have to always add or substract 0.01
<teepee>
that's real world numbers, there unlikely a way around that
<Guest10>
What i mean is when e.g. sticking two cubes together i have to move one 0.01 closer to the other before using union() on them
<Guest10>
I expect that bosl2 glues them correctly together without he having to adding or substracting small amounts on the position
<teepee>
I know and the reason for that is floating point numbers used in math, libraries can help with clever logic for some places, but not just in general
<teepee>
I don't know if bosl does something in that regard. the UB.scad library generates overlap for some of the parts
<Guest10>
What function of UB ?
<teepee>
it has those chamfer thingies for example and IIRC they extend a small amount 0.2 units by default into the objects
