Here are a list of functions that take pixel data to generate models. https://github.com/JustinSDK/dotSCAD#surface-23-preview ----- https://openhome.cc -- Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/

I would like to see either an extension to rotate_extrude() or a new extrude function to implement a proper spiral (no linear_extrude() is not good enough as the object being extruded is not orthogonal to the path). I feel so strongly about this that I attempted to implement this myself within the language: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1958354 It works after a fashion, but because I could not directly access the points of the children, it could not be implemented in the most efficient manner, and is at best an approximation. I'd also like to be able to put children into a list. I recently ran into a limitation of the current version of OpenSCAD that prevented me from algorithmicly generating children to be passed to a library function. The output of a for() loop is a union, so it only generates one child, but a for() loop can generate a list of any other type of object. Being able to generate a list of children seems to me a useful generalization to solve the problem I ran into. -- Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/

1. Code formating in editor 2. Syntax coloring and highlighting 3. Git integration. 4. Package manager, to auto import missing includes from source.

Hi, thanks for asking. This would be my feature-wishlist: 1) code completion 2) 'for each’ (additionally to for-loops) 3) some way to import and/or export data, for instance import a csv file 4) that one can copy-paste things from the console 5) error messages that are easier to understand Benjamin > Am 09.11.2019 um 23:22 schrieb Hans L <thehans@gmail.com>: > > 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: > > 1) Stability, squash more bugs in general > 2) Optimize existing code, make OpenSCAD faster > 3) Addition of new features > 4) More / improved documentation > 5) All of the above should be balanced equally > 6) Nothing, I am content > 7) 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.

We already have 2 and 4. You can do for(x = list). With right click you can copy from the console. On Sat, 4 Apr 2020 at 14:32, Benjamin Wand <benjamin.wand@web.de> wrote: > Hi, thanks for asking.

 Belatedly I will kick in:
 1. multi-threading for performance!
 2. I would love to get access to the pixel data in surface(), both
 greyscale
 and RGB!!  And *not* have surface() produce an object.   Just the data
 please.

Thanks for the hint how to do ‘for each’, I’m wondering how to present that more prominently on the wikibook. Here I made a screencast how copying from the console doesn’t work: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jiyeo7l0m3lknwl/still%20not%20copying%20from%20the%20console2020-04-04%2016-41-59.mp4?dl=0 <https://www.dropbox.com/s/jiyeo7l0m3lknwl/still%20not%20copying%20from%20the%20console2020-04-04%2016-41-59.mp4?dl=0> Or is it a hidden setting or something? > Am 04.04.2020 um 15:44 schrieb nop head <nop.head@gmail.com>: > > We already have 2 and 4. > > You can do for(x = list). > > With right click you can copy from the console. > > > > On Sat, 4 Apr 2020 at 14:32, Benjamin Wand <benjamin.wand@web.de <mailto:benjamin.wand@web.de>> wrote: > Hi, thanks for asking.

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.
