I'm an openscad beginner.

Does anyone have any idea why partition() should truncate the cuboid below to length 200 before partitioning?

Thanks
Tony

include <BOSL2/std.scad>

up(75)
partition(spread=1, cutpath="flat")
cuboid([50,400,50]);

up(150)
partition(spread=1, cutpath="flat")
cuboid([50,300,50]);

up(225)
partition(spread=1, cutpath="flat")
cuboid([50,200,50]);

up(300)
partition(spread=1, cutpath="flat")cuboid([50,100,50]);

You need to set the size argument.
