debugging BOSL2 turtle3d()
I am trying to design a complex wire model, and it is not going well.
Is there any way to insert a "#" inside a list of commands to turtle3d()
to show me exactly which segment I am working on at a given moment?
That would be very helpful. Something like this:
' path = turtle3d(["left", "ymove", 10, "arcright", r, "arcup", r,
"#", "arcyrot", r, -120, "arcleft", 2r, 40, "arcleft", r/2, 120,
"arcleft", 2r, 30], transforms=true);
No, there is no way to do that. Since turtle3d just produces a list of
points or matrices...how would that be possible?
Would it help to truncate your list of commands? I often write turtle(3d)
arguments with one command per line, which
makes it easy to comment out sections of the command list, and that can
help in debugging.

Now that I think of it, you are correct: there is no way to do that,
since the generation of the path using turtle3d() and the generation of
the sweep are separate.
Yes, I can truncate the list of commands, but have been finding this to
be awkward and unsatisfactory. Would there be a way to add an "exit"
entry to a path which caused the path to be terminated prematurely, to
more easily allowing programmers to move the end of the path around?
Maybe that would not add anything useful.
I further guess that there is no way for sweep() to create a single
object where one piece of it was displayed differently ('#'). Perhaps
one could create 3 paths (the "before" path, the "#" object/path, and
the "after" path) and have sweep() create the middle object with "#".
Or add a parameter "p" (for position) to sweep() so that sweep() itself
created the object as three separate objects.
Just brainstorming here. I have no faith that anything I've said is
useful or feasible.
Thanks

Just for context, this is what I am working on. At one point, the input
and output wires were co-axial, but now they are not, and finding out
exactly where I am going wrong has been more time consuming than I would
have liked.

I maybe don't know what what you're trying to do, but when I rewrote your
code like this I got a nicer looking hook where the start/end sections are
coaxial:
path = turtle3d([
"left",
"ymove", 10,
"arcright", r,
"arcup", r,
"arcyrot", r, -120,
// "arcleft", r, "arcleft", r,
"arcleft", 2r, 35, // Was 40
"arcleft", r/2, 110,
"arcleft", 2r, 35, // Was 30
"arcyrot", r, 120,
"arcup", r,
"arcright", r,
"ymove", 10
], transforms=true);
There was a glaring asymmetry where you had 40 110 30 as the 180 degree
turn in the middle.

Thanks for debugging my code. I was flailing, and you fixed the
discrepancy. Thank you
