I'm getting more and more frustrated. The attached code, modified from
before, do a F5, view as Open CSG. If you are like me, you'll see 2 gray
objects, one a collection of intersecting tetrahedrons, the other a
collection of cylinders. However, I see a couple of green stray green
cylinders somewhere inside the tetrahedrons, and one stray green
tetrahedron inside the cylinders object. By all mathematics, this should
not happen. The code generates the shapes in fractal manner. I would
expect uniformity (no cylinders in tetrahedrons, no tetrahedron in
cylinders). Given that the unexpected happens, no wonder my model
doesn't come out right.
I'll try to attach a pic too...

I'm using OpenSCAD http://www.openscad.orgversion 2014.03 on a linux
64 (Fedora 20).

Your code renders as the attached image using F5. Could you make sure the code you attach the code that actually render what you see?

Some tips:
o I noticed that some of your faces are inside-out (e.g. ofaces at the top). You can visualize inside-out faces: They turn pink in Throwntogether mode (F12).
o You might want to use the latest development snapshot as a lot of bugs has been fixed and new feature are available.

Once you’re tried that, please send an updated file and screenshot and I can take a look at it.

Cheer,
