Function Documentation

repeat_grid()

module repeat_grid	(	g	,
		i	,
		c	= 1,
		center	= false
	)

Repeat copies of child objects about a Cartesian grid.

Parameters

g	<integer-list-3 | integer> The grid division count. A list [x, y, z] of integers or a single integer for (x=y=z).
i	<decimal-list-3 | decimal> The grid increment size. A list [x, y, z] of decimals or a single decimal for (x=y=z).
c	<integer> The number of copies. Number of times to iterate over children.
center	<boolean> Center distribution about origin.

The child objects are repeated individually c times about the grid g with grid spacing increments i.

Warning

Only immediate children are handled individually as shown in the following example. Children that are produced by intermediate operation, such as object generated by a for loop, will be treated as a single child object.

Object example

      repeat_grid( g=[5,5,4], i=10, c=50, center=true ) {cube(10, center=true); sphere(10);}

repeat_radial()

module repeat_radial	(	n	,
		r	= 1,
		o	= 0,
		angle	= true,
		move	= false
	)

Radially repeat copies of child objects about a z-axis radius.

Parameters

n	<integer> The number of equally spaced radii.
r	<decimal> The radial move distance.
o	<decimal> The rotational angular offset.
angle	<boolean> Rotate each copy about z-axis.
move	<boolean> Move each shape copy to radii coordinate.

All child objects are repeated together n times about the z-axis at radius r.

Object example

      repeat_radial( n=7, r=6, move=true ) square( [20,1], center=true );
