Create 3D OpenSCAD scripts

[cymplecy]

To use this project please install OpenSCAD on your computer (Probably can't do that on a school Chromebook??)

Open up the project and select the rocket sprite

Click on the generate OpenSCAD file script

Once it's finished processing, right click on the code variable watcher and select export
It should download it as code.txt (or code .txt (xxxx) )

Launch OpenSCAD and do file open code.txt

You should see a preview of the rocket

I recommend enabling JavaScript and changing browser preferences to allow selecting the name of any file you try to save - it makes things a lot easier and smoother

This is version 1.0.0 of my efforts to use Snap! to build OpenSCAD scripts
e.g from

to

and here it is printed out

ProjectName=OpenSCAD_1_0_0

If you enable JavaScript, it will auto download a file to your computer (using name of the sprite + .scad) - if not, just right click on the code watcher (Not the list one) and export it instead

Sneak peak at how version 2 is looking - less cluttered and more Snap!ish

Dang...reminds me of TinkerCAD's Codeblocks!

This is really interesting! Love the way that you put the demo together.

I reached a limit using TInkerCAD codeblocks so then I decided to try out going down this route using Codification.

It works better than I hoped since OpenSCAD auto updates it's preview when you regenerate and re-save the script from Snap!.

You have to have your browser set to save as mode but it's working well for me so far
