Hi there,

I am working on a (sort of) general scad in wich I need to present certain objects that are set up as either STL or SVG formats.

These files are stored in the same folder as the scad script.

Example:

ImportAnObject="Select a base object"; //[None,PerfectHeart_Outline.svg,DraadLamp_Model01_Raam.svg,DraadLamp1_Kanaal.svg,DraadLamp_Model01_FilledFrame.svg,RealityScan_Kruidnagel_HD_Model_Simple50K.stl,DefaultEgg.stl,DefaultEgg_Horizontal.stl,Paashaas.stl,Scad_SpechtFrame.stl,Scad_SpechtSilouette.stl,SpechtSilouette.svg,SpechtSilouette_V3.svg]

But I need to alter the scad script itself when I need to add a new object that hes to show in the drop-down in the customizer.

So I want to create a JSON file in wich the names of these objects are listed and then import this JSON as the source of the objectnames as: ImportAnObject=import("ObjectFileNames.json");

But I get an error/warning:

Compiling design (CSG Tree generation)...

WARNING: Failed to parse file 'E:/3D_PotteryToVoronoids/5_Voronoid_Scad/ARTBaseVoronoiObjects\ObjectFileNames.json': %s in file , line 195

Can somebody please help me out how to get this working with an example for this problem?

Thanks,

Jos.

The json file (test edition):

{

"fileFormatVersion": "1",

"parameterSets": {

"fileFormatVersion": "1",

    "BaseObjects": {

	"None",

	",PerfectHeart_Outline.svg"

	}

}

Hi Revar,

You are right. I fixed the braces but the error is still there….

Thanks, Jos.

Hi Jordan,

I installed the latest nightly build and tested the new error report. That works well:

WARNING: Failed to parse file 'E:/3D_PotteryToVoronoids/5_Voronoid_Scad/ARTBaseVoronoiObjects\ObjectFileNames.json': [json.exception.parse_error.101] parse error at line 6, column 9: syntax error while parsing object separator - unexpected ','; expected ':' in file ArtVoronoi_BaseModel.scad, line 190

Now looking for the solution of my function to read data from an external source.

Thanks for now.

Jos.
