Re: [OpenSCAD] OpenSCAD Cheatsheet

In preparation for a workshop I'm giving today, and in the hope that its
helpful to the community, I've made some changes to Peter's Cheatsheet.  My
version is online as

http://kitwallace.co.uk/openscad/OpenSCAD%20CheatSheet.htm

  • some updates to bring in line with the current snapshot
  • expanded the basic syntax section
  • expanded function explanations
  • restructured and ordered the entries
  • added link to examples in the footer

It's expanded to two pages and whilst I've retained the css styling, its a
bit problematic for printing.

Please let me know of any errors or omissions.  I've yet to fork in Github

Chris

function declaration should include function keyword.

I think % no longer means transparent. It means draw it in preview but not
in F6. It does become transparent if it has no color but doesn't if it has.

Hi Chris,

Good work - I like it!
One minor thing to tweak (not sure how best to do it) is to make sure that a default printout looks good. The cheat sheet is often used for printing, so print layout is important.

FYI, the difference between # and % is:

is the highlight operator. It merely highlights the object in transparent red. The object still takes part in the CSG operations in both F5 and F6 mode.

% is the debug operator. It removes the object from any CSG operation. Unless you specify your own color, it will also color the object using transparent grey.
