sorry, "union"
<InPhase>
Well it unions things.
<InPhase>
There are a lot of places with implicit unions, so it doesn't need to be used very often.
<InPhase>
One case where it's kind of important is inside of a difference, for the first element.

btw, maybe worth auto-adding filename extension for stl exported files from openscad even if not manually specified? at one point i was slightly perplexed, "why i don't see just exported files in open dialog of slicer" .. and then found the reason :)
<lockywolf>
The manual says that "text" creates 2D text, but on my machine it seems to be creating a 3D text.
<lockywolf>
hah, but "linear extrude" fixes it, so no problem
<lockywolf>
Is there an efficient way to open openscad models in Blender?
<lockywolf>
I tried to re-export using "off", but it seems that the two have an incompatible interpretation of "off"
<lockywolf>
I tried via stl, but it seems like a lot is lost in process.

when i remember correctly , the best format to export to blender is csg.

it appears that python3.10 shows more errors. i should consider getting it.

teepee. how did you get the extended info about fn yesterday ? i can download the archives, but, it does not contain the --rerun-failed information.
<teepee>
what do you mean with rerun failed information?
<teepee>
I downloaded that zip file attached to the github action runs
<teepee>
which is the same as the local file it generates when running tests
<guso78k>
yes, i found, downloaded and unpacked the zip file.
<guso78k>
the only evidence of the error i found is this one: https://bpa.st/PCVA
<guso78k>
i tells that it *did* fail and shows how to run --rerun-fail
<guso78k>
i cannot (yet) start the --rerun-failed in the ci cloud

lockywolf: it is 2D, if you F6-render. it "looks" 3D due in F5-preview 2d objects (for looks only) rendering as prefixed (IIRC 1mm) height. but in reality it's 2d, and becomes 3d only if you create 3d object from it, via eg. linear extrude/rotate extrude/hull or minkowski
<church_>
eg. create other 2d objects like square() or circle(), will be same "looks" of 3d (in F5-preview)

2d shapes looking like a 1-unit thick item is hardcoded. once the skin PR is merged 2D shapes can arbritarily sit in 3D space and can even be linear extruded from exact that position.
<church_>
guso78k: i wonder if that hardcoded height shouldn't be something less, or scaled depending on zoom level, or if maybe 2D marked out in different color scheme (eg. it's easy to distinguish 2D from 3D in F6-render due different color scheme)

I have created a program to design gates and it works OK but I want to add the ability to calculate the total lineal meters of wood used in the gate. I cant see how to do due to the fact that you cant change a global variable in a module. Is there a way around this? Alternatively is there a way to write to another file so I could generate a
<NZGate>
custlist in another file (CSV?) This would also be useful to estimate the cost of material for each part etc.
<NZGate>
I tried using special variables but they seem to have the same limitations

The only way I can think of is to use functions to generate all of the data in one level first and then overwrite a variable in the same scope and then output this to the drawing somehow or Echo and then use the data generated by the functions to draw the objects, comments??
