WARNING: Ignoring unknown module 'straight_thread', in file threadlib/threadlib.scad, line 31.

[dennisdebel]

Running the example:

use <threadlib/threadlib.scad>
thread("G1/2-ext", turns=10);

Generates the following warning and does not render anything:

WARNING: Ignoring unknown module 'straight_thread', in file threadlib/threadlib.scad, line 31.

(OSX, 10.11, OpenScad 2019.05) (Note: on OSX the Documents/OpenScad/libraries folder is simply ignored and you have to put libs/modules etc INSIDE the .app package, in : Contents/Resources/libraries)

Had the same issue

Locked in the files and found some kind of advertising and Text [1] in thread_profile.scad that dosen't belong in a *.scad file without out commenting marks. --> how dos it get in the file? just delete these parts it and it worked for me.

I put the text that was the problem in these <> code insertion markers. below looks broken. Same happens to the SCAD functionalety.

Next problem is how do on get it working whit OpenSCAD-Nightly? (edit: Thats a way to get newer Software like OpenSCAD 2020.12.08 working) Problem is just to find the Libraries Folder. I Found the recommended hints here [1] tl:dr libraries folder is in the home/USER/snap/openscad-nightly/2191/.local/share/OpenSCAD/libraries paht

@rajHid: Can you confirm that this problem is in thread_profile.scad and not in threadlib?

[quirxi]

I got the same error message: "WARNING: Ignoring unknown module 'straight_thread', in file threadlib/threadlib.scad, line 31." I fixed it somehow by putting all the necessary *.scad files from the included libraries and from the threadlib into one directory and adapting the "include" and "use" directive in that files.

OS: linux - debian version 10.8 (buster) OpenSCAD: OpenSCAD-2021.01-x86_64.AppImage

[adrianschlatter]

Hi @quirxi. Does your directory/file structure look as indicated in the README.rst (Installation section)?

[quirxi]

Yes - I have tried the directory structure you suggested in the README and all sorts of other different directory structures, too. Not sure if i get this problem because I use the OpenSCAD appimage or because its a rather new version of OpenSCAD? But I can confirm that the libraries in the library folder under "/home/user/.config/OpenSCAD/libraries" have been found at least sometimes :P.

[adrianschlatter]

Interesting. I just upgraded to OpenSCAD 2021.01 and had no problems rendering the examples in threadlib. I also checked whether thread_profile.scad had problematic updates but that does not seem to be the case. @RajHid had some funny looking text inside thread_profile.scad. Does this also happen to you, @quirxi?

[quirxi]

The first time I tried to downlaod the thread_profile.scad file it was downloaded as a html file. When I realized it I used the "raw" button on github and download it as text. The artifacts @RajHid mentioned seem to be caused by the merge of two different versions of the same file in github!? Maybe the cause is really the use of the Appimage version of OpenSCAD?

[adrianschlatter]

I have no experience with the appimage. So yes, maybe it is related to this. Does it work for you when using the Debian package?

[quirxi]

Now I have found the problem! I have installed the libraries in "$HOME/.config/OpenSCAD/libraries" and not in "$HOME/.local/share/OpenSCAD/libraries" as described in "https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Libraries". Now the appimage and the default debian package both work as expected. I am really sorry for the work I have caused you, but I was so accustomed to the fact that local files are installed in "$HOME/.config/.." that I must have somehow ignored the instructions. Thanks again for your efforts and your time!

[adrianschlatter]

No problem, @quirxi . Thanks for sharing the solution :)
