It is a description of the object, with parameters stating how to modify the object.

I'm not sure what shortcut list you are referring to, but the operator difference() { a0(); a1();... aN(); } is like saying take object a0 and subtract objects a1, a2 all the way to aN from it. Good luck on your endeavours. -- View this message in context: http://forum.openscad.org/Export-Stl-File-module-tp19829p19988.html Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Yes the module is only compiled once for each different combination of parameters, so there is no need to store it in a variable. In my example there is only one M3 nut in the geometry cache but it gets used four times. So anything that you think you might want to store in a variable you put in a module instead. It can be geometry or transformations or a combination of both. On 9 January 2017 at 17:52, adrian <adrianh.bsc@gmail.com> wrote: > Marijan Pollak wrote > > Okay.
