A stupid little thing:  the height of a cylinder is "h", but the height of a linear extrusion is "height".

I would love to integrate a pretty printer into OpenSCAD to be able to do so, the IDE should have the ability to call external programs (via custom shortcuts) and the actual filename as param. Then Reload the file and its done *g*. -- Auf meiner Homepage www.Corpsman.de ist immer was los, ständig wird sie aktualisiert und erweitert.

Better design:  feed the input to it on its standard in and get the output on its standard out.  Then the IDE could easily support things like filtering just the selection through the pretty printer.  (Or, for that matter, filtering through other things like sorts.)

#3 I find the stability of OpenSCAD to be excellent, especially when compared to other FOSS CAD tools. I'd like see a standard library, a standard listing of libraries (like pip etc), functions to check the length of arrays/strings and rank/dimension of matrixes, and more tools for 1-dimensional objects (for instance I have my own code for affine transforms of lines, but that'd be great to include in a standard library).

To add, another thing I'd like to see in the standard library is functions to calculate bounding boxes of primitive shapes. Again, I already do this, I'm sure we all do, but it'd be nice to come out of the box.
