Comparison to solidpython? #19

Open gregnordin opened 4 years ago

gregnordin commented 4 years ago

I've used solidpython to create openscad files. How does this project compare to solidpython? What's different? The reason I ask is openpyscad looks interesting, and possibly useful for some of our projects, but it's not clear why we should try it over solidpython. Any insight you can provide would be great.

If you rely on importing other scad files (with use) this might be a blocker for you: #18

Works as expected in solidpython

gregnordin commented 4 years ago

Thanks for the reply. However, I'm not sure what the point of #18 is without going through all of the code. Can you add a sentence or two that summarizes the point? Thanks!

jrobichaud commented 4 years ago

It is the equivalent of solid.import_scad in solidpython but it does not work as intended.

I think the question is still open. What does openpyscad do differently than solidpython, what are the advantages and disadvantages? I understand that #18 is some kind of functional deficiency, but if that gets fixed what would be the reason to prefer openpyscad to solidpython?
