Help modifying a file

You will find a way to get it with the following attached code. The file
basic_orthotics_supported,scad contains exactly the model data of the
original orthotics_supported,scad but in a function format. It is used by
the other file, orthotics_changed.cad, which is able to add configurable
"shims" to the model generating a new model.

The code is supported by the BOSL2 library and to run it you will have to
download and install it. The library is found in :
https://github.com/revarbat/BOSL2. My suggestion is that, after the
download, you store the library uncompressed in the same folder you store
the attached code. That should be enough to run the code in
orthotics_changed.cad.

The only data you may want to change in the orthotics_changed.cad file are
the foot data, as in the original file, and the shim data. The shim data is
a simple matrix with 2 or 3 rows and 2 columns that represents the height
of the shim at some fixed specific points. The rows represent the shim
heights at the heel, at the middle (optional) and at the toes. The columns
refer to the inside and the outside sides of the foot. You should prescribe
at least the four extreme corners of the shim.

An additional parameter, show_shim, may be set to true to have a preview of
just the shim. That may be helpful to have a visual check of the shim data
effects. To get the final model changed by the shim, set show_shim to false.

Here are pictures of the final model with a shim height value of 7 at the
inside toe and 0 at the other corners and of its respective shim.

I have not tested those changes with a broad set of foot data values.

Chris,

BTW, I didn't pick up on your original post, the bit "to contact the
model maker so I could pay him".

I do this stuff for the intellectual exercise, so I'll happily contribute
my wedge bit when it's done.

If someone else wants to propose taking a commission on design of the "I
would like it to be a full foot orthotic like the example" with the
bother of working out how big a foot is and does it last, please speak up.

Chris, this Forum is not typically use for design commissions, but you
never know your luck.

OK, got a prototype of the wedge bit, I'll refine it in a while.

Sorry, the second part is so full of assumptions that I'm sure any decent
Cordwainer could do it with their eyes closed. That is before the question
of fashion in footwear is to be considered, where did that Jester get to?

Also the example thing is copyright, Licensed as Non Commercial, so I'm
not going to attempt to incorporate it.

If you would like me to make the toe-end some oversized generic shape
that you could manually trim, like those inserts you buy from the chemist
let me know.

Adjustable wedge is correct. I would love to be able to just set each of
the parameters including the angle of the wedge.

Sorry that was very vague. I would like it to be a full foot orthotic
like the example I linked to, with the parameters of the adjustable wedge
tapering the wedge to 0 deg about 2/3rds the way towards the toe end of the
orthotic.
