I dimly remember this being asked before but I've not been able to find the answer. Is there a clever/less cumbersome way to optionally apply the debug prefix "#"? Similar to the following? module myObject( debug=false ) { xyz = [ 10, 20, 30 ]; if (debug) { #cube( xyz ); } else { cube( xyz ); } } Thanks! Len

You could limit the cumbersome bit to a module such as: module debug() { if($debug) #children(); else children(); } and then just use debug() instead of # when you want it easily enabled/disabled by setting $debug.

In BOSL2 you can do highlight(debug) children(); On Fri, Jun 13, 2025 at 11:46 PM Todd Allen via Discuss < discuss@lists.openscad.org> wrote: > You could limit the cumbersome bit to a module such as: > > module debug() { > if($debug) > #children(); > else > children(); > } > and then just use debug() instead of # when you want it easily > enabled/disabled by setting $debug. > > On Fri, Jun 13, 2025 at 8:46 PM Leonard Martin Struttmann via Discuss < > discuss@lists.openscad.org> wrote: > >> I dimly remember this being asked before but I've not been able to find >> the answer. >> >> Is there a clever/less cumbersome way to optionally apply the debug >> prefix "#"?
