I am learning rotate_extrude, and no matter what angle I put in, nothing
seems different at all that I can see.

What is the angle used for? And does it make a difference visibly?

This was answered by an earlier thread. The angle argument will be silently
ignored until the 2016 release. Unless you download an experimental
developers build.

sorry, didn't see/remember that earlier thread.

so, what WILL it be used for then? to stop at the angle you want (instead
of 360) of the the rotate_extrude? or is that in the earlier thread?

You can use my code, in the thread:

http://forum.openscad.org/This-seems-to-be-ultra-basic-I-cannot-have-the-rotate-extrude-angle-parameter-working-tp15180.html.

Or maybe you may search for a more general and efficient way to do that.

Cheers,
jpmendes

I am tutoring my friends (who unfortunately only have windows)
Will the latest 2015.10.17 dev snapshot work with the new code that has
angle working (like my osx 2015.12.02?)
