Hi everyone,
this is my first post and i hope the question is not dumb. I cannot figure
out why the hull command with a circle results in a projection in the xy
plane (ie nothing the z direction)?
hull(){
translate([10,10,10]) circle(1);
translate([1,1,1]) circle(1);}
where as this code, creates the solid in the z direction as expected:
hull(){
translate([10,10,10]) cube(1);
translate([1,1,1]) cube(1);}
thanks for the help.

hull() operates in the dimentionality of the child objects.
1st is feeding it 2x 2D objects (no Z) so hull produces a 2D hull.
2nd is feeding 2x 3D objects (incl. z) so hull produces a 3D hull.
