Re: Variables

Some mention should be made of Vectors as a 'type' of variable, noting that Vectors may be referenced ('my_value = my_vector[my_index]') but that elements of a vector cannot be given new values via assign except by using assign pnthe entire vector.

This code:

deck = [64, 89, 18]; translate(0,0,deck[0]) cube(deck);

needs to be changed to:

deck = [64, 89, 18]; translate([0,0,deck[2]]) cube(deck);

Sat Jul 30 13:48:01+0200 2016 Sorry -- my attempted improvement of the internal link to #Special_variables_2 was supposed to only modify the printable version. The latter should not contain absolute links to itself, only relative ones, in order to be able to browse it offline. Unfortunately, it seems that the single-page version is built from the multi-page one, and the editing operations always apply to the respective part of the multi-page version. There must be a way to do it correctly. Anyway, please simply undo the change. flagfish

Getting input
Either I radically misunderstand, or the Customizer https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Customizer is machinery for getting user input.

This is in the context of the claim under "Getting input" on the substantive page, that there is no mechanism to prompt or get input from the user. Jfw01 (discuss • contribs) 01:57, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
