OPENSCAD IMPORT INSTALL

Instead, if OpenSCAD is installed, it can be used to convert the input to the CSG format, which is a subset of the OpenSCAD language, and can be used as the input to OpenSCAD for further processing.ĭuring conversion all parametric behavior is lost, meaning that all variable names are discarded, loops expanded, and mathematical expressions evaluated. Currently the OpenSCAD Workbench cannot handle the OpenSCAD language natively. This high degree of flexibility makes parsing very complex. It allows you to specify sub-modules to reuse geometry and code. The OpenSCAD language allows the use of variables and loops.

It also contains general purpose tools that do not require installation of OpenSCAD they can be used in conjunction with other workbenches. This workbench contains functions to modify the CSG feature tree and repair models. Geometry which is not based on CSG operations will be exported as a mesh. It contains a CSG importer to open the CSG files from OpenSCAD, and an exporter to output a CSG based tree. The OpenCASCADE libraries are always needed to use FreeCAD, while the OpenSCAD executable is entirely optional.

OpenSCAD should not be confused with OpenCASCADE, which is the geometrical kernel that FreeCAD uses to build geometry on screen.

This program is not distributed as part of FreeCAD, but should be installed to make full use of this workbench. The OpenSCAD Workbench is intended to offer interoperability with the open source software OpenSCAD.
