...or add a semicolon ;-) hull(); { cube(10); cylinder(d=5, h=20); }

Should also be the same effect as using the group module. (I'm not sure group is really documented, but if you ever look at csg output, you can see that children of control structures end up in a group after evaluation, for example) //hull() group() { cube(10); cylinder(d=5, h=20); } On Wed, Mar 6, 2019 at 5:54 PM MichaelAtOz <oz.at.michael@gmail.com> wrote: > You can do: > > module n() children(); // noop - do nothing to the children, just pass > them > back > > //hull() > n() > { > cube(10); > cylinder(d=5, h=20); > } > > > > ----- > Admin - email* me if you need anything, or if I've done something stupid... > > * click on my MichaelAtOz label, there is a link to email me. > > Unless specifically shown otherwise above, my contribution is in the > Public Domain; to the extent possible under law, I have waived all > copyright and related or neighbouring rights to this work.

The thought of deliberately adding a semicolon to disable code - something that has accidentally tripped me up countless times - is truly horrifying. -- Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/

Anonymous blocks are useful for grouping children. e.g. module union_diff() { difference() { union() children(0); children(1); } } union_diff() { { // first the union _circle(3); back(2) _circle(4);} { // then the diff _rect(2); } } > On Mar 6, 2019, at 5:55 PM, shadowwynd <shadowwynd@gmail.com> wrote: > > The thought of deliberately adding a semicolon to disable code - something > that has accidentally tripped me up countless times - is truly horrifying. > > > > -- > Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/ > > _______________________________________________ > OpenSCAD mailing list > Discuss@lists.openscad.org > http://lists.openscad.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.openscad.org

<sigh> I must be on drugs. Forget that… it doesn’t work. I thought it worked… but obviously my brain is not working. > On Mar 21, 2019, at 9:29 PM, Hugo Jackson <hugo@apres.net> wrote: > > Anonymous blocks are useful for grouping children. e.g. > > module union_diff() { > difference() { > union() > children(0); > children(1); > } > } > > union_diff() { > { // first the union > _circle(3); > back(2) > _circle(4);} > { // then the diff > _rect(2); > } > } > > > > > >> On Mar 6, 2019, at 5:55 PM, shadowwynd <shadowwynd@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> The thought of deliberately adding a semicolon to disable code - something >> that has accidentally tripped me up countless times - is truly horrifying. >> >> >> >> -- >> Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/ >> >> _______________________________________________ >> OpenSCAD mailing list >> Discuss@lists.openscad.org >> http://lists.openscad.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.openscad.org >

Same here , I use it for translating object every now and then for debugging, but I don't expect the braces to express a new scope in that case. /Henrik -- Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/
