<teepee>
MP9: so there is not a huge amount of things existing. which is why we have the project idea in the first place :)
<teepee>
but one starting point could be primitives.cc, have a look at the end of that file

<MP71>
Ok thank you!
<teepee>
so that's the minimal existing help when typing in the editor
<teepee>
now there are many options to extend that.
<teepee>
later even for libraries and user code, but I would judge that out of scope in the first step
<teepee>
so similar to the exiting stuff it would focus on the built-in functions and modules
* teepee
is afk for a bit... making dinner :)
<MP71>
So the existing functions and modules just need explanations of their definitions and parameters accessible through the console window instead of an external link?

<teepee>
one minimal idea could be having right click in editor and just show the info in console
<teepee>
a dedicated help window could make things nicer and allow for formatting and external links to the online documentation
<teepee>
more ideas welcome :)

I am a beginner at OpenSCAD and am looking for resources to learn how to use it. I've been using Fusion360 for a little while and have some programming in my past. I want to use OpenSCAD for iterations of various sizes of simple designs that I want the user to be able to customize their model in the program itself.
<teepee>
and for just looking through many more or less small files, the past advent calendars have some interesting stuff - https://openscad.org/gallery.html (in the side bar)
<teepee>
last year had a 15 part tutorial too, in the form of 15 scripts with lots of comments

https://i.imgur.com/E5bMlTL.png Can someone explain to me why my ellipses aren't centered with the boxes? is it because circles start at their center, and boxes start at their corner
<InPhase>
Can you put the code? I cannot discern what you are describing.
<halloy7308>
sorry about that, InPhase. i figured out the problem as i typed it. the circle emanates from its center, whereas the cube emanates from a corner.
<halloy7308>
i'm trying to avoid using a bezier for making my box have a curved edge, so i'm using a difference with an ellipse instead
<halloy7308>
Now I next need to figure out how to use a cube as a "bounding box" selection for a subsection of my slice. Making the difference of a cube and ellipse and then selecting one corner of that for my next difference operation
<halloy7308>
ohhh, I'll just use a smaller damned square to make my situation
