Detailed Description

Shape Replications and distribution.

Function Documentation

module st_cartesian_copy	(	grid	,
		incr	,
		copy	= 1,
		center	= false
	)

Distribute copies of 2D or 3D shapes about Cartesian grid.

Parameters

grid	<vector|decimal> A vector [x, y, z] of decimals or a single decimal for (x=y=z).
incr	<vector|decimal> A vector [x, y, z] of decimals or a single decimal for (x=y=z).
copy	<decimal> Number of times to iterate over children.
center	<boolean> Center distribution about origin.

Example

st_cartesian_copy

      st_cartesian_copy( grid=[5,5,4], incr=10, copy=50, center=true ) {cube(10, center=true); sphere(10);}

module st_radial_copy	(	n	,
		r	= 1,
		angle	= true,
		move	= false
	)

Distribute copies of a 2D or 3D shape equally about a z-axis radius.

Parameters

n	<decimal> The number of equally spaced radii.
r	<decimal> The shape move radius.
angle	<boolean> Rotate each copy about z-axis.
move	<boolean> Move each shape copy to radii coordinate.

Example

st_radial_copy

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