Hello OpenSCAD,

I thinking I am caught in the variable scope trap, and the "OpenSCAD is not like a programming language" trap.

  1. Side does not get more elements with each interation
  2. The points to not move up the y axis as I expected

Thank you for your help.

// router supports
RD = 7;  // rod diameter
Z = RD/cos(30);  // elevation change
X = Z/tan(30);  // horizontal change
W = 30;      // overall width
Xl = W-X;    // location of left edge of slot
Tiers = 3;    // number of vertical sets
i=0;
OneSet = [[W,0],[W,2Z+i],[Xl,Z+i],[Xl,2Z+i],[W,3*Z+i]];
Side = [[0,0]];
for (k = [1:Tiers])
{
i = k * Z;
Side=concat(Side,OneSet);
echo(Side,i,OneSet);
}

Not knowing what I'm doing, which is how I build my stuff, I removed the i = 0 line and moved the OneSet line into the loop, placed after the i = k *Z line. The result is:
ECHO: [[0, 0], [30, 0], [30, 24.2487], [16, 16.1658], [16, 24.2487], [30, 32.3316]], 8.0829, [[30, 0], [30, 24.2487], [16, 16.1658], [16, 24.2487], [30, 32.3316]]

ECHO: [[0, 0], [30, 0], [30, 32.3316], [16, 24.2487], [16, 32.3316], [30, 40.4145]], 16.1658, [[30, 0], [30, 32.3316], [16, 24.2487], [16, 32.3316], [30, 40.4145]]

ECHO: [[0, 0], [30, 0], [30, 40.4145], [16, 32.3316], [16, 40.4145], [30, 48.4974]], 24.2487, [[30, 0], [30, 40.4145], [16, 32.3316], [16, 40.4145], [30, 48.4974]]

Is that the objective?

Hi fred,

Yes Fred that is the objective for part 2.  Thank you.  I kept it out of the loop thinking it would get the values assigned inside the loop.
 
But the Side list did not get more points with each iteration.  How to really concat things?

My guess on that part is that your code reads Side=concat(Side,OneSet);That won't work, as it's a "reassignment" prohibited by the structure of the language. Construct an intermediate assignment using a different name and it might work as desired.

Hi fred,

I want the contents in Side to grow with each iteration.  The help for concat uses only ECHO statements and does not show an example of growing a list using concat.  That would be truly helpful.

You can't grow a list in OpenSCAD because all variables are immutable. You
can only build a list incrementally using a list comprehension. See

You can also do it recursively:

function make_list(i) = i > 1 ? concat(i, make_list(i-1)) : [i];
echo(make_list(10));

Hi nop,

I tried list comprehension (as least as I understood it) and got the points I wanted but they are a vector withing a vector and not useable in polygon();
I noticed another question about concat.  Maybe we can get both on track?
 
I want to add 4 points with each iteration and not sure how to delimit the FOR to include the 4 points without putting in extra [] pairs.
 
// router supports,[0,2TiersZ)]},[0,0]
RD = 7;  // rod diameter
Z = RD/cos(30);  // elevation change
X = Z/tan(30);  // horizontal change
W = 30;      // overall width
Xl = W-X;    // location of left edge of slot
Tiers = 3;    // number of vertical sets 
 
Side=[[0,0],[W,0],for (a = [1:Tiers])[[W,(2*a)Z],[Xl,(1a)Z],[Xl,(2a)Z], [ W,(1+2a)*Z ]],[ 0,(3+Tiers)*Z ]];
echo(Side);
*polygon(Side);

Use each to add a list as multiple elements.

I want to add 4 points with each iteration and not sure how to delimit the

Side=[[0,0],[W,0],for (a =

0,(3+Tiers)*Z ]];

echo(Side);

That won't work, as it's a "reassignment" prohibited by the structure of
the language. Construct an intermediate assignment using a different name
and it might work as desired.

But the Side list did not get more points with each iteration.  How to
