how to find help

Open 3Dietrich opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Sorry, maybe I'm a dump guy.. please can you help me: There is a Readme.md and there are the files. But there is almost NO connection between the two. Readme shows a lot examples with "shape", but there is no "shape" in the files. And all the other files (except mirror) are not mentioned in the readme..? How can I use it (of course I can read the scad files and experiment, but is that expected)?

just landed here again in the same position.. I want to test out scad utils, find the files but what are the arguments, how to use it.. this library is often recommended but there is no help.. Here is no answer.. am I the only one who dont' get it? I'm puzzled

@3Dietrich Hi there! the shape() function is defined in the README.MD as

module shape() {
    polygon([[0,0],[1,0],[1.5,1],[2.5,1],[2,-1],[0,-1]]);
}

it's literally any 2D shape that openscad can make using modules like:

polygon()
text()
square()
circle()
import() //when using a dxf or svg
