Is there a generic center() function in OpenSCAD to center any shape? Such as: center(){ cube(5); } Instead of: cube(5, center=true);

In BOSL2 you can use attach() to use any of the standard 25 anchors and position the children relative to the parent shape. E.g. attach(TOP, CENTER) will put the cube in the middle of the top plane of the current shape, note half deep since CENTER is the center of the child cube. If you do attach(TOP,BOTTOM) the cube will sit fully on top of the current shape, bottom fixed to the top of the parent shape. To make it even better, you can then also specify where on the plane the cube should attach with align. Ie you attach the cube aligned on the LEFT side or even LEFT+BACK corner. This also works most if the times for none rectangular shapes where sides are angled or curved. The only reason I’m still on openscad is this relative addressing. Awesome!
