translate([x,y,0]) cylinder (r=2,h=100,$fn=100,
center=true);

Here is my current setup: module bars() { for(x=[-30,-20,-10,0,10,20,30], y=[-30,-20,-10,0,10,20,30 ]) translate([x,y,0]) cylinder (r=2,h=100,$fn=100, center=true); } difference() { bars(); sphere(r=30); } How can I make it possible that the bars will only show up within the limits of the sphere? I don't want a solid sphere, I want to see the bars existing only within a given shape/set of dimensions. Thank you kindly, maybe I can help you. -- View this message in context: http://forum.openscad.org/How-to-set-a-limit-for-extended-pattern-objects-to-be-contained-in-the-volume-of-a-desired-object-tp11623.html Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

It works! Thank you so so much my good sir. -- View this message in context: http://forum.openscad.org/How-to-set-a-limit-for-extended-pattern-objects-to-be-contained-in-the-volume-of-a-desired-object-tp11623p11625.html Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
