I made the following polyhedron: p1 = [10,10,0]; p2 = [10,-10,0]; p3 = [-10,-10,0]; p4 = [-10,10,0]; p5 = [0,0,15]; polyhedron(points = [ p1, p2, p3, p4, p5], faces = [ [0,1,4], [1,2,4], [2,3,4], [3,0,4], [0,1,2,3] ]); Is there a way that we can know if the above object when printed, will be hollow or filled? If it is hollow, how to fill it? Is cube(10) hollow or solid?

How it's actually printed will be up to the CAM software (e.g. cura or slic3r for 3D printing). ciao, Torsten.

like Paul Torsten said, the model is solid. We have a MakerBot at the library, where I print stuff. There is a parameter called infill that has a percentage number. The higher the number the denser the object will be. -- Extra Ham Operator: K7AZJ Registered Linux User: 275424 Raspberry Pi and Arduino developer *The most exciting phrase to hear in science - the one that heralds new discoveries - is not "Eureka!" but "That's funny...".*- Isaac.

To quote from OpenSCAD.org, "OpenSCAD is a software for creating solid 3D CAD objects. " Polyhedron and cube create solid objects.
