Re: Dynamic Include
Presumably larger files take longer to be parsed...but you can run your
program and see how long it takes. Does including the file give a
significant performance hit? I'd guess not, since reading a MB doesn't
take very long compared to OpenSCAD render, say. Including BOSL2/std.scad
appears to take negligible time and it's 1.5 MB in 28 files.
i think you can do a dynamic include only in the context of an "if" block,
which means the included content will be scoped to the conditional block.
So you could do something like
if (part1) {
include<part1.scad>
code here to make part 1
}
But the stuff included would not be available at the top level. Note, I
haven't tested this.

I am pretty sure this is not possible from my attempts to do this but
thought I would ask anyways.
Is there a way to do a dynamic include base on the value of variable ?
The reason is that I have a file that contains data to build parts and the
data file is getting rather large (almost 1 MB) and it would be nice to be
able to split it up into a separate file for each part.
So say the variable design equals "test" then I want to include the file
"test.scad"
Also does a large data file like this decrease performance? I would
assume the larger the data file is the longer it takes for it to be parsed?

Cool, the if include statement does seem to work.
