This is a collection of utilities for openjscad projects. These modify the CSG
object adding utilities for alignment,
scaling and colors. There are also some basic parts that use outside dimensions rather than radii.
For an example, see the yeoman jscad generator which will create a project that uses this library.
I'm currently updating jscad-utils
to work with the new JsCad v2. The code base has moved to ES6, built with Rollup
and has some unit tests. There is a v1 compatibility file for continued use with JsCad 1.9.x. The examples work with the
compatiblity shim and 1.9.
I still need to get the documentation to build again and upgrade the other libraries and yeoman generator.
This new version is scoped in npm under @jwc/jscad-utils
.
You need to remove the previous version and then install the new one.
npm remove jscad-utils
npm install @jwc/jscad-utils
If you are using a recent yoeman generated project, it should pick up the new version. If you are using any of the other jscad-* libraries, be careful, they are having issues until I update them to ES6, stick to the v3 untill they are updated.
You will need Node.js version 6.4 installed. Other versions will probobly work, but that's what
it's tested with. Install jscad-utils
using NPM:
npm install --save jscad-utils
To use the utilities, you need to include the jscad-utils.jscad
.
include('node_modules/jscad-utils/jscad-utils.jscad');
main() {
util.init(CSG);
}
Use np to publish to NPM.
Examples are placed in the dist
directory with the jscad-utils.jscad
file injected into them. This allows the files to be included directly into openjscad.org.
Here are some of the examples:
snap
function.bisect
function.fillet
function.chamfer
function.
