User Poll: What do you want to see from OpenSCAD development?

- parallel processing /compilation time in complex models
- descriptve error messages
Yeah, multi-threading would likely speed things up a bunch. On my machine, it can sit for 30 minutes generating the full render - and the CPU never goes over 15%.

Mh-mh, ok. If copying would work with the same keyboard shortcut like in every single application on the operating system, that would be a lot more practical though. It is in the menu (like seen on the video), it just doesn’t work through the menu or through the shortcut announced in the menu (cmd + C), which is why I was concluding that it didn’t work at all.
There is a way to ‘right click’ on the mac (also called ’secondary click’). This is what one would get to see:

And here is another irritating thing: 'select all works’ with cmd + A but ‘copy' does not work with cmd + C.

It is just a right click context menu on Windows. I have never used Apple OS but the last I saw there was only one mouse button, so I have no idea how that works.

We already have 2 and 4.
You can do for(x = list).
With right click you can copy from the console.

Hi, thanks for asking. This would be my feature-wishlist:

Hi everyone,
I wanted to get some input and have a bit of discussion from users
here, regarding what they would most like to see from current or
near-future OpenSCAD development.
What do you feel is the most important aspect to focus on, or would
have the biggest impact to your experience using OpenSCAD:
- Stability, squash more bugs in general
- Optimize existing code, make OpenSCAD faster
- Addition of new features
- More / improved documentation
- All of the above should be balanced equally
- Nothing, I am content
- Something else not mentioned
If you have a specific issue in mind related to your choice, please
describe and link to it if there is an existing github issue.
Disclaimer: I am not a project owner for OpenSCAD, I just contribute
code when / where I can. So this poll is not "official", just created
out of my personal curiosity. There is no guarantee that I or other
volunteer developers will directly address any issues raised here.
Happy modeling,

Would be possible that Ctrl+C without selection copies whole current
line? It is nice idea in Visual Studio, it speeds up line duplication.

Probably not. There's already a line/block duplication
feature (in the dev snapshot) via CTRL-SHIFT + Cursor
Up/Down.
I don't know if/how that works in MacOS though. As that
insists of making things complicated (or maybe it's Qt
doing that) it's difficult to have it covered always.
ciao,
Torsten.
Multithreading for full CGAL renders would be nice, but from what the
developers say it isn't possible to do anywhere near as much as you
would like.
One thing that might be practical and would make things nicer would be
to put preview into a separate thread. Currently, if you're doing a
full render it runs in a separate thread. You can continue to edit, in
the same or a different window. If preview takes a long time then the
whole application freezes.
I second this request!!!!

I think it would be incredibly useful to be able to click on some point
of the model preview and get a "stack trace" of geometries, modules and
transforms where the part under the cursor was created and transformed.
One way to do it, would be to have a "debug" mode, where every
cylinder,cube,etc created gets an unique color (unique chromacity)
then every transformation adds some unique saturation level (some prime
numbers magic might be needed).
Assuming that rendering only changes the luminosity of part, analyzing
the pixels color value, we could tell what lines of code are responsible
for its creation in which order - a kind of "call stack"
there might be a better way of doing this, this is only an idea, which
seemed doable.
I use OpenSCAD for Academic purposes. I definitely would find it very
useful if OpenSCAD could compute surface and/or volume.
I think this was mentioned before. Don't remember if there is a hard limit
to get this working, or if it is too much work.
Thanks,
Álvaro Deibe Díaz.
