Re: [OpenSCAD] What are the rules for transform()

I can get something to render fine if I do "arches2()", but if I do
"difference, mirror; mirror" I get some odd error.

In cases like that, we suspect the object in question is not a manifold. So
check if arches2() is a manifold.

What do I do to check if it is a manifold or not?

If you are using polyhedron to build arches2 (), check if each edge are
common to exactly 2 facets and that you have face winding order consistent
to what is prescribed in the OpenSCAD manual.

Or just union it with a unit cube and see if CGAL throws an error.
