Maximum Y value of the axis aligned bounding box (from corner and size)

Minimum Z value of the axis aligned bounding box (from corner and size)

An optional value, which can help OpenSCAD render shapes correctly in preview mode. The stated convexity make NO DIFFERENCE to the final rendering. If the convexity is set to low (or set to null), then the preview mode may not display correctly. A large convexity may cause the OpenSCAD to update slowly / suboptimally. See OpenSCAD documentation for the definition of convexity.

The bottom front left corner. In association with size determines the axis aligned bounding box.

A list of the 8 corners which make up the axis aligned bounding box. (from corner and size.

A face is a list of indices into the points array.

Minimum Y value of the axis aligned bounding box (from corner and size)

Minimum x value of the axis aligned bounding box (from corner and size)

The middle of the axis aligned bounding box (from corner and size)

A list of the vertices.

Maximum x value of the axis aligned bounding box (from corner and size)

The size of the axis aligned bounding box. Note, the bounding box may grow larger than you imagine. For example, if you rotate a shape, and then rotate it back again, the bounding box will have grown.

Maximum Z value of the axis aligned bounding box (from corner and size)

Combine two shapes, so that the solid parts and cavities are both considered. If you use the more normal Shape3d.union method instead (or the plus operator), then the cavity won't be treated in a special way, and the result will be the same as if remove was not used.

The axis aligned cube which encloses this shape.

Adjusts the colour of the shape.

Uses corner and size to center the object to (0,0,0)

Moves the center of this shape to xyz.

Uses corner and size to center the object about the X=0 plane only.

Uses corner and size to center the object about the X=0 plane and Y=0 plane, but leaving Z unaltered.

Uses corner and size to center the object about the Y=0 plane only.

Uses corner and size to center the object about the Z=0 plane only.

Sets the colour of this shape (used only by OpenSCAD's preview mode). As with all FooCAD transformations, this returns a NEW shape, it does not modify this shape.

Takes shape toCut and removes it from this shape (using difference). toCut is moved along the Z axis by z units.

Takes shape toCut and removes it from this shape (using difference). toCut is moved along the Z axis by z units, and also by toCut.size.x * alignment.

Takes shape toCut and removes it from this shape (using difference). toCut is moved along the Z axis according to zRatio, which is a ratio of the height of this shape. e.g. a zRatio of 0.5 will move toCut halfway up this object's height.

Prints details of this shape, and the tree of its dependencies.

If this Shape is a Shape2dDependent

Wherever this and other overlap there is a void. The rest of this shape remains unchanged. other does not appear in the result.

Equivalent to OpenSCAD's '*' modifier.

An operator which is the same as intersection.

Equivalent to OpenSCAD's '#' modifier.

Similar to and, but if other overlaps cavities in this shape, then cavity will be filled.

Combines this shape and the other shape, such that only the places that the two shapes overlap are present in the result.

Labels a shape, so that we can collect all the important labelled shapes, and ignore the others. The PlanTarget in the construction module uses label to know which items to add to the plan.

Labels a shape, so that we can collect all the important labelled shapes, and ignore the others.

Does not change the shape, only the axis aligned bounding box defined by corner and size.

An operator which is the same as difference.

Equivalent to OpenSCAD's '!' modifier.

Adjusts the colour of the shape.

An operator which is the same as union.

Shows as transparent in OpenSCAD's preview mode, but is NOT included in the final rendered version, and therefore will NOT be printed.

Make a cavity within another shape.

Rotate by v.x degrees, then by v.y degrees, then v.z degrees.

Rotate by x degrees, then by y degrees, then z degrees.

Rotate about the origin around the given axis, the angle is given in degrees.

Rotate about the given point (about) around the given axis.

Rotate by degrees around the X axis.

A rotation about the X axis, but translating by -about first, and then translating back by about. Note that about.x is ignored.

Rotate by degrees around the Y axis.

A rotation about the Y axis, but translating by -about first, and then translating back. Note that about.y is ignored.

Rotate by degrees around the Z axis.

A rotation about the Z axis, but translating by -about first, and then translating back. Note that about.z is ignored.

Scales this shape (enlarges or shrinks). Note, you should not scale by zero. Scaling by negative values is also not encouraged, as this may lead the unexpected behaviour. Use mirrorX, mirrorY, mirrorZ or mirror instead of negative scale factors.

Scales along the X direction only. See scale.

Scales along the Y direction only. See scale.

Scales along the Z direction only. See scale.

Applies an arbitrary transformation. This is equivalent to OpenSCAD's 'multmatrix'. Identical to transform, but as this is a times operator can be used like to :

Uses corner to move the object to the origin.

Uses corner to move the object so that it's X value is 0 (i.e. it is just touching the X=0 plane). This is the same as leftToOrigin unless this shape has been scaled by a negative amount! See also rightToOrigin.

Uses corner to move the object so that it's Y value is 0 (i.e. it is just touching the Y=0 plane). This is the same as frontToOrigin unless this shape has been scaled by a negative amount! See also backToOrigin.

Uses corner to move the object so that it's Z value is 0 (i.e. it is just touching the Z=0 plane). This is the same as bottomToOrigin unless this shape has been scaled by a negative amount! See also topToOrigin.

Creates a plain Polyhedron from points and faces.

Applies an arbitrary transformation, which does NOT have to be an affine transformation. OpenSCAD has no equivalent, and therefore the result is always a nasty polyhedron, (or a compound of lots of polyhedrons), which makes the resulting .scad file even more unreadable than usual!

Applies an arbitrary transformation. This is equivalent to OpenSCAD's 'multmatrix'. NOTE, there is a times operator which does the same thing, which may be more readable.

Some transformations require the points and faces data. This isn't available for Union3d, Difference3d and Intersection3d, so it may seem impossible to transform a union, difference or intersection. We can though. If we pull the component parts out of the union/difference/intersection, apply the transformation to those shapes, and then recombine the results.

Translates this shape. There are lots of "syntactic sugar" variations which perform translations : translateX, translateY, translateZ, leftTo, rightTo, frontTo, backTo, topTo, bottomTo, center, centerX, centerY, centerZ, centerXY, centerXTo, centerYTo, centerZTo They all perform a translation, but can make you scripts easier to read.

Combines two shapes together to form a single Shape3d.
