guso78_ when using that measure tool - is there a way to find the length of a chamfered cylinder? Because you can't select a face and it will always take the offset into account
<J25k81>
you can use edges near the diameter and if they cross you get that - but that isn't always the case and when having a tube it is impossible

<ed_>
i suspect the answer to this is "no" but is it possible to turn an object into a poly? i'd like to avoid repeating complex calculations, and save the result so i could call polyhedron with the previous output
<ed_>
a longshot, and probably better ways exist
<ed_>
in simple terms, can cylinder return a set of points, which i could feed into polyhedron?
<teepee>
geometry is cached, so if you have a module called with the same arguments, it's not regenerated
<teepee>
as for geometry->points that only exists as prototype, not in any version that is ready to install

Guest96: Does it work when you use the File menu?
<InPhase>
Or the STL export button?
<Guest96>
No option to export using the menu or function key. F6 renders ok. Will try newest snapshot.
<InPhase>
Well we certainly didn't remove STL exporting.
<InPhase>
That's kind of a key feature. :)
<InPhase>
Where did you get the build from that you were using?

Downloaded Windows 2025.01.12 from https://openscad.org/downloads.html#snapshots and ... same problem. SHA256 matches. Only option is F6 then F8 which is direct-to-running-slicer. Does not recognize recent Cura slicer.

Guest96: I just grabbed and ran the Linux version of the same release, and that's not what I'm seeing. It would be weird for this to be a platform specific issue though. Can you show a screenshot of what you see in File, Export?
<Guest96>
Well, how about that? It says F7 right there on the File... menu but F7 doesn't appear to give any feedback. Since F7 is missing from the Design... menu I thought that F8 was the only option.
<InPhase>
It might be that your system is eating F7 before it gets to the program.
<InPhase>
Or maybe your F7 key has a crumb. ;)

I actually don't use the function keys very often myself. I typically use the menu for this, as I'm not exporting very often, and sometimes I want other formats.
<Guest96>
Now I am happy. It's for everyone else to know and for me to find out. Will check if it's my AutoHotKey code. Thanks for the help!

I checked back to 2019 and don't see F7 under Design in any of the past releases. But I guess I can see how the missing function number in that menu would make you feel it's a missing feature if the key suddenly stopped working for you for some other reason.
<Guest96>
Yes, your'e right. It's not the usual computer, it's a new install and comes with keyboard macros. I will fix all that and can now get working again.

Excellent.

Laptop manufacturers have taken to claiming the function row for things that aren't the f keys, you normally have to put it in function lock to get them back

Are there any notes on debugging tests using test_cmdline_tool.py? I've got a crash when running the test, but oddly it works fine to generate it!
<scrameta>
So I want to the get into gdb to see what is going on.
<scrameta>
Nevermind worked it out. Run ctest with -V -N to get the python command. Then enable that _debug_tcct to get the OpenSCAD command. Then run that with gdb -- --args $therest.
