hmm, then I have no idea how that is even possible, I would assume IRC sees the server where the web stuff is hosted, not the one you are connecting from
<teepee>
but maybe they have some separate additional check in place on those servers

Average Friday issues

maybe, I guess we can just see how it goes and if it starts happening too often going to find some workaround

I guess it is possible that mohammad1722's connection is natted enough times on the way out that there are some bad actors driving a ban appearing to be on the same address
<Scopeuk>
if it comes to it I can probably provide a web bassed bouncer, I should be able to add an account on my "thelounge" setup

Maybe there's a better way to do this. I find myself designing a lot of multi-part customizable models. I need a way for people to see the preview with the parts assembled or "exploded" (an diagram where the parts are in the correct orientation as if they are about to be assembled but there's space between them). I might want to cut out a cross
<TylerTork>
section from these parts to confirm fit. But then I also need a way to lay the parts out flat for exporting so they can be printed. Sometimes I want multiple export configurations because they're going to be printed in different materials. I've been using a selection field in the customizer to choose "Layout" and repositioning or omitting parts
<TylerTork>
based on this choice ("Assembled", "Exploded", "For export - base", "For export - lid"). Ideally I want to display the non-printable layouts in such a way that they can't be exported (but not have them be transparent gray, thanks)
<TylerTork>
Any ideas for a better technique?
<teepee>
I can't see much to change, you can hide things from export (and F6 too) using $preview
<teepee>
I use $preview for stuff that's not part of the model itself, e.g. the PCBs in https://imgur.com/OH9zT3U

ooh, I did not know about that. Is it actually in documentation somewhere?
<TylerTork>
I see it is. Okay thanks that does help.

Anybody know how to get a "degree" symbol to display in a text() function?
<gbruno>
[github] daackm opened issue #5130 (is there a way to get a degree symbol to display in a text function? I have tried creating a string of chr(186) and printing that , but it gives something like a square. Thanks) https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/5130

gbruno, I suspect you're getting the right character, but the font you're using (which is maybe the default font?) doesn't have a rendering of that character.

Actually meant to answer Guest74. Responded in github
