The basic template would be something like: variables = values at the top Various calculations/logic based on the variables make 3D elements using the variables --- note that 3D elements can go int variables and can be combined in various ways, see: https://old.reddit.com/r/OpenPythonSCAD/wiki/index#wiki_3d_operations then use show() to make the finished 3D model visible at the end. >- is it possibe to reuse my home made openscad library with some modules and functions  in pythonscad or do I have to rewrite those in pythonscad I believe so, but you'll get a lot more performance if you re-write in Python. >I'm a bit lost. :( I have tried to explain things in the afore-mentioned wiki, and Guenther has a tutorial at: https://pythonscad.org/tutorial/site/index.html and you may find: https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview of interest if you are planning on using a CNC machine or need to interface with traditional CAD. If you'll put up a bit of code you are having trouble with we'll gladly do our best to assist. William
