12:33 <Guest31> good, morning. i have a rather simple command set in a difference(). when the subtracted items overlap, rendering gets stuck and the progress bar cannot be canceled.

12:33 <Guest31> i've tried in release 2021 and a couple dev 2023. i can paste the code if needed.

12:44 <ndnihil> paste it

12:44 <Guest31> TY.

12:44 <Guest31> difference(){

12:44 <Guest31> cylinder(h=1,d=9,$fn=32);

12:44 <Guest31> cylinder(h=1,d=5.2,$fn=32);

12:44 <Guest31> translate([6.6/2,0,0]) cylinder(h=1,d=1.4,$fn=32);

12:44 <Guest31> rotate([0,0,120]) translate([6.6/2,0,0]) cylinder(h=1,d=1.4,$fn=32);

12:44 <Guest31> rotate([0,0,-120]) translate([6.6/2,0,0]) cylinder(h=1,d=1.4,$fn=32);

12:44 <Guest31> }

12:44 <ndnihil> er

12:44 <ndnihil> sorry

12:44 <ndnihil> not here, on pastebin or something

12:44 <InPhase> paste?

12:44 <othx> paste is https://www.3dcustomizer.net/paste for .scad files, https://bpa.st for text, https://pasteboard.co/ or https://imgur.com/ for images

12:45 <InPhase> ^

12:45 <Guest31> if the second cylindar is 5.0 , it works fine. but 5.2 breaks

12:45 <Guest31> sorry, i beat you to it :P

12:45 <ndnihil> if I recall, difference() takes two objects/args, you're giving it 5

12:46 <InPhase> Guest31: You are failing to follow the overlap rule described in the manual.

12:46 <InPhase> manual?

12:46 <othx> manual is https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual

12:46 <ndnihil> but it's stupid o-clock and I've not caffiened

12:46 <ndnihil> caffeined?

12:46 <Guest31> thanks. i followed a youtube which said multiple, thank i'll RTFM :wink:

12:46 <ndnihil> pretty sure that's a verb in some countries

12:46 <InPhase> Guest31: See the bolded "Note:" under difference: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/CSG_Modelling#difference

12:47 <InPhase> Guest31: And read the corresponding one above that for union.

12:47 <Guest31> understood, thank ya'll very kindly

12:48 <InPhase> I wrote those sections of the manual, but some days I wish I could put them flashing and on the main page. ;) It's one of the most common things people trip over.

12:49 <InPhase> In order of frequency, most to least: 1. Failure to follow the overlap rule. 2. Attempting to reassign variables imperatively.

12:56 <Guest31> "stupid-o-clock" <-- love it.

12:57 <Guest31> side-note, irregardless of my failed code, seems the cancel button should work.

12:58 <InPhase> Widely agreed, but it's a more involved problem than it seems due to library issues.

12:58 <Guest31> requires exiting openscad to reset :(

12:58 <Guest31> understood

12:58 <InPhase> The program gets trapped inside of library calls that do not really have an exit feature.

12:58 <buZz> cancel button does kinda work but takes a long time to cancel

12:59 <Guest31> overnight :wink: so the "lib" issue makes sense here.

12:59 <InPhase> I think the right solution is for us to be using rendering processes to decouple this, so the cancelation of a process happens internally, but that requires some restructuring.

13:03 <Guest31> perfectly fixed with union, really appreciate your direction. saving me time here!! :heart:

16:15 <Guest31> for the records, i went back and tested... worked without union as well. it was the sizing and translations that technically fixed it (extension beyond primary object)

16:20 mmu_man has joined #openscad

16:23 <ndnihil> union it anyway, for great justice

16:40 <Guest31> 🆗
