Why doesn't this use statement work?
As I mentioned in another thread, I have a long complicated piece of OpenSCAD
code that I am trying to
simplify so that I can enhance it, but I haven't found a way that works yet.
My latest attempt to modularize the code failed, and I don't understand why.
Here's a simplified example with three .scad files.
part1.scad___________
module part1() {
echo("part1");
part2();
}
part2.scad___________
module part2() {
echo("part2");
}
part_test.scad_________
use <part1.scad>
use <part2.scad>
part1();
When I try to preview or render part_test.scad, I get the message, "WARNING:
Ignoring unknown module 'part2', even though there is a "use <part2.scad>"
statement in the file, and part2.scad is in the same directory. If I move
the "use <part2.scad>" statement from part_test.scad, to part1.scad, it
works, but that structure would not allow me to modularize my code in a
useful way. Is there a way to make this work?

part2() is defined only after the compilation of part1.scad. Reverse the
use's order in part_test.scad.

I don't think that will work.
part1.scad uses part2, so it must use part2.scad.
part_test.scad only needs to use part1.scad.

I tried that, and it didn't work. I still get the message WARNING: Ignoring
unknown module 'part2'.

I think your error message is not from “part_test.scad” but from part1.scad which can’t find part2.
If you add
use <part2.scad> to part.scad like this:
part1.scad _________
use <part2.scad>
module part1() {
echo(“part1”);
part2();
}
It should work fine.

Actually, it's requiring you to modularize your program.
The main program invokes only part1. It doesn't know about part2. It
is only part1 that knows that it needs part2, so it is the one that
needs the "use".

I need part1 and part2 to be independent modules without any information
about each other. That is so that I can code different versions of part_test
that use different versions of part1 and part2. I want any version of part1
to work with any version of part2. That won't work if put the use for a
particular version of part2 in part1.

Then I guess you need include instead of use.

Or pass part2 to part1 as a child.
