Fwd: Problem with SVG import

Thu, May 12, 2022 2:18 PM

Hello,
I would like to import this SVG file into OpenSCAD.
It's a pentagon (SVG generated by GeoGebra), but OpenSCAD displays a large
rectangle.
Do you know why?
Thank you!

Yes, there's a big white background rectangle with empty stroke.

OpenSCAD treats SVG as CAD files, importing structure, it's
not possible to handle visual effects.

Removing that rectangle (rect7) seems to produce the import
result that is expected.

ciao,
Torsten.

Thank you very much for the answer.
Indeed, the rectangle "hide" the figure.

For all the segments, it's OK.
However, for this circle in attachment, and removing the rect tag, there is
still a problem, OpenSCAD interpreting it full when it is empty.

Do you know (again:) why? Thank you!

If you open circle.svg in a text editor, you'll see it has:
<path fill="none" stroke="rgb(0,0,0)"…

OpenSCAD doesn't honor the fill and stroke attributes. Make a filled
smaller circle on the same center, difference the two, then save that to
get a ringed SVG path that OpenSCAD can see.

Yes, there is some limited support for stroke, but that's not
for closed polygons at this point.

OpenSCAD deals with closed polygons only, so there's no such
thing as a filled/not-filled circle once the data is imported
into OpenSCAD.

It might be an option considering that circles or other closed
path with no fill and a stroke width in SVG could be imported
as something like:

difference() {
offset(stroke_width / 2) shape();
offset(-stroke_width / 2) shape();
}

As said before, the main issue is that SVG is a visual graphics
format, mostly meant to be rendered to pixels and not a CAD
format. So we may slowly move to more useful translations for
common cases.

ciao,
Torsten.

That does not work for me. Stroke path still creates a single
path outlining the stroke.

I still have to "Path -> Break Apart" and "Path -> Difference"
to actually declare the inner path as a hole in the outer path.

Torsten.

Not 'stroke path', but 'stroke to path'. It is a single path, but has two
subpaths. I got:

Aha! It did do the "Stroke to path" but left the original causing
the issue. Deleting that left the working version. Good to know :-).

It would be nice to have what one might call a "1D" subsystem, that
would allow for lines that did not form closed polygons, much as you can
have incomplete polyhedra.

The CNC crew would thank us.
