I don't know how feasible this is but sometimes it would be nice to have objects that would display but would not show up in exported models. My most recent example is that I had some markers that I was using to check that things were approximately in the right location. Of course, I could comment them out or find some other way to disable them for the export but it would be nice to be able to leave them there. This would also allow the model to be used as a diagram or to add instructions. By the way, just downloaded the latest version and I like the new updates. Prompted me to make a donation. -- View this message in context: http://forum.openscad.org/Objects-that-display-but-don-t-export-tp19751.html Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Prefixing objects with % causes them to be displayed with F5 but not with F6. By default they are semi transparent grey but you can change that with color().
