<![CDATA[basic design for projection]]>Here is the basic design where it would be useful to use a projection function. In order to make simple scroll saw pattern, I was asked to make a generic script that users could easily change. For the moment it's using my function vol2surf that "works" as a projection even if it far from that.

I saw that a projection function is now available (projectionOfPoint), how can I use it to replace mine ?

the project is here, it's in a .zip because it uses an external 3d model

The output is the same as it was with my function.

There’s API documentation at www.openjscad.xyz/docs/

There’s one more special function coming; scission()

This one is totally inspired by @gilboonet

FYI, this is tied to a MAJOR RELEASE of the modeling library, so please pay close attention to the release notes.
