That's actually totally unrelated and, amusingly, not related to text()
per se either.
None of the mechanisms available in OpenSCAD for translating numbers
into text offer any control over the number of decimal places - nor over
any other aspect of the presentation that results. (Offhand, those
mechanisms are str() and echo(), though there might be a few other
places where numbers get automatically converted into strings.)
I think it would be good to add this as a built-in feature, but in the

Well I had a hunch it might be a separate problem. Now the question is
rendering time. F6 for the nuts is minutes, F5 is downright boring for
quite a few minutes, time enough to go get a 6 pack and drink one of
them, If I was still drinking, my diabetes has made that dangerous.
Thanks for the clarification, Jordan. I'll see if I can reconfigure to
use BOSL2 instead.

Gene,
You can make a function to do this str() method.
int=4;
float=4.2;
echo(int=int,float=float);
echo(str("int = ",int,", float = ",float));
echo(str("int = ",int,int==abs(int)? ".0" : "",", float = ",float));
ECHO: int = 4, float = 4.2
ECHO: "int = 4, float = 4.2"
ECHO: "int = 4.0, float = 4.2"

Not sure how F5 can be slower than F6 and how it can take minutes to render
nuts.
It only takes 1.352 seconds to draw all these with threads:

In fact I am pretty curious if there are scripts in which F5 is
significantly faster than F6 with manifold enabled. By meaningfully
faster I mean at least several hundred milliseconds.
Feel like F6 is already pretty fast now except for minkowski, but F5
cannot deal with minkowski anyway.

You can make a function to do this str() method.
int=4;
float=4.2;
echo(int=int,float=float);
echo(str("int = ",int,", float = ",float));
echo(str("int = ",int,int==abs(int)? ".0" : "",", float = ",float));
ECHO: int = 4, float = 4.2
ECHO: "int = 4, float = 4.2"
ECHO: "int = 4.0, float = 4.2"

That's actually totally unrelated and, amusingly, not related to text()

None of the mechanisms available in OpenSCAD for translating numbers
into text offer any control over the number of decimal places - nor over
any other aspect of the presentation that results. (Offhand, those
mechanisms are str() and echo(), though there might be a few other
places where numbers get automatically converted into strings.)
I think it would be good to add this as a built-in feature, but in the
meantime there's a BOSL2 function that will do what you need:
https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2/wiki/strings.scad#function-format_fixed
Well I had a hunch it might be a separate problem. Now the question is
rendering time. F6 for the nuts is minutes, F5 is downright boring for
quite a few minutes, time enough to go get a 6 pack and drink one of
them, If I was still drinking, my diabetes has made that dangerous.
Thanks for the clarification, Jordan. I'll see if I can reconfigure to
use BOSL2 instead.

F5 has been tons slower than F6 for at least a year. Maybe longer.
From the about: OpenSCAD version 2024.06.04.ai19515 but I just dl the
latest, F6 render for this is Total rendering time: 0:00:07.011,
F5 is Total rendering time: 0:00:01.059 Which does not agree with the
time it takes to refresh the viewscreen, which is about 3 minutes. Why?
Besides that these nuts are made by differences by first making the bolt
from a polygon tooth, then subtracting it from the block that is a half
nut. But the thread is a 2 start, so the nuts are alike. Typical pair as
rendered by this OpenSXAD attached. The actual bolt itself is made on a
pair of cnc milling machines I've built, Using gcode I wrote. Tooth
shape is buttress, made from the same polygon list in both OpenSCAD and
gcode. The hard maple stick starts as a 2x2 about 23" long. Warpage of
the stick as its sawed results in screws of up to 3mm different
diameters by the time the stick is made round until no flats remain.
The next plank of maple I buy will get a year under vacuum so its DRY.
A different plank about 4" thick I made a BP thumhole stock out of
jumped out of its skin with the first try. 2nd pass I used a
refrigeration punp to keep it under 29" of vacuum for about a year. I
don't think it moved a thou when I started carving on it. Beautiful, and
for a BP, prints less than 2" groups at 50 yards, but part of that is
the real bolt and firing pin lighting up a m209 primer since a #11 cap
won't light blackhorn 209 powder. I could not keep it on the paper when
new. Now its a real deer rifle
