basic design for projection

[gilboonet]

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

I think you need to wait just a bit more.

@z3dev did a really nice job, I am stealing his thunder a bit by letting you see the preview of the project function

it is in the master branch if you have openjscad dev enviroment you could test it right away.
I am sure it will be available soon on the https://openjscad.xyz/ website

@hrgdavor thanks for the prerelease event.

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.

[z3dev]

@gilboonet please try the new release, which includes the new project() function as well as the new scission() function.

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

@z3dev I will try it ASAP and will give back some feedback.

Here's a first test :

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

@gilboonet excellent!

You are the super user!
