I see lots of posts online with similar issues, but the solutions I see are about bugged older versions or one mention of an implicit "union" when objects are rendered one after another. To get around that, I put the objects in separate modules and it still does it. This is part of a larger crude Christmas tree type design. I set up a thing to convert the raw Earth2.io "holobuilding" data to OpenSCAD to generate a 3D model outside of Earth2.io. Someone designed a Christmas tree type thing and it was skipping some of the "branches". I cut down the code so it's just the center trunk/pole and one branch that disappears when both are rendered.
Both show up in preview, but not render.
I feel like this question is asked a ton, but again.. didn't see any answers that seemed to help my situation. I know it's going to be "something stupid" (tm) so forgive my OpenSCAD ignorance.
Thanks in advance.
