On adding include <BOSL2/std.scad> to a script, the viewport went blank. How is that possible? No problem with other scripts.
There seems to be something in the script that BOSL2 doesn’t like. What could that be?
Error messages may be relevant:
Any ideas what to look for?

My guess would be that you have a global name that conflicts with one of
BOSL2's names.

Hi,
what would a global name look like? Examples?

Do you, by chance, have a variable called IDENT?

No, ‘fraid not.
This part is done with BOSL2, but I can’t use it with the rest.

Asking people to debug your code when you don't post the code is generally
a pointless endeavor.
You should follow the error message backtrace until you get to code you
wrote and examine it to see why it would fail in BOSL2, or post that line
of code here, or perhaps file a bug on the BOSL2 github.

The code is quite long, about 1550 lines.

I looked up the relevant lines in affine.scad and transform.scad but they didn’t seem to offer any clues.
Looks like I will have to chop off sections of the code one by one until it works.

The lines in affince.scad and transform.scad are not part of your code.
Follow the backtrace back until you get to YOUR CODE---the first line
that's not part of the library. From the error messages it appears a
rotation has been invoked with an invalid angle, but to know why we need to
see the code you wrote that is doing it. It's possible that it's a
compatibility error in BOSL2, since adding the BOSL2 library to working
code is not supposed to change its behavior.

When this module is edited out, the code works:
module txm()
{
window = [876, 640];
translate($vpt)
rotate($vpr)
scale($vpd / window.y)
translate([x,y,z])
rotate([X,Y,Z])
linear_extrude(0.001)
text(txt, valign = "center", halign = side, font="Times New Roman", size=s);
}
I had left out the X, Y and Z values in 2 places where the module is invoked, as these values are all zero. Putting in X=0, Y=0, Z=0, fixes it. Phew!
Thanks.

When this module is edited out, the code works:
`module txm()`
`{`
`window = [876, 640];`
`translate($vpt)`
`rotate($vpr)`
`scale($vpd / window.y)`
`translate([x,y,z])`
`rotate([X,Y,Z])`
`linear_extrude(0.001)`
`text(txt, valign = "center", halign = side, font="Times New Roman", size=s);`
`}`
