sometime back someone posted this code for making an artifact. It took a long time but could not be executed, although some workaround was found. Gave it a try with the same code rewritten in python (JN) It still took 2500 sec ( around 40 minutes) on my macbook air m1 to calculate the points, but at least it could run successfully and below is the wonderful picture and the code, in case anyone is interested.

Was this done in OpenSCAD?

Points were calculated through python and rendered in openscad On Fri, 30 Dec, 2022, 6:49 pm jon, <jon@jonbondy.com> wrote: > Was this done in OpenSCAD? > On 12/30/2022 7:48 AM, Sanjeev Prabhakar wrote: > > sometime back someone posted this code for making an artifact. > > It took a long time but could not be executed, although some > workaround was found. > > Gave it a try with the same code rewritten in python (JN) > > It still took 2500 sec ( around 40 minutes) on my macbook air m1 to > calculate the points, but at least it could run successfully and below is > the wonderful picture and the code, in case anyone is interested. > > [image: Screenshot 2022-12-30 at 6.02.52 PM.png] > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > OpenSCAD mailing list > To unsubscribe send an email to discuss-leave@lists.openscad.org > >

 It took a long time but could not be executed, although some
 workaround was found.

 Gave it a try with the same code rewritten in python (JN)

 It still took 2500 sec ( around 40 minutes) on my macbook air m1
 to calculate the points, but at least it could run successfully
 and below is the wonderful picture and the code, in case anyone
 is interested.

So, the 2500 seconds was outside OpenSCAD: how long was the OpenSCAD rendering?

that is only few seconds, i did not look at the it, but it was almost instant On Fri, 30 Dec 2022 at 19:12, jon <jon@jonbondy.com> wrote: > So, the 2500 seconds was outside OpenSCAD: how long was the OpenSCAD > rendering? > On 12/30/2022 8:37 AM, Sanjeev Prabhakar wrote: > > Points were calculated through python and rendered in openscad > > On Fri, 30 Dec, 2022, 6:49 pm jon, <jon@jonbondy.com> wrote: > >> Was this done in OpenSCAD? >> On 12/30/2022 7:48 AM, Sanjeev Prabhakar wrote: >> >> sometime back someone posted this code for making an artifact. >> >> It took a long time but could not be executed, although some >> workaround was found. >> >> Gave it a try with the same code rewritten in python (JN) >> >> It still took 2500 sec ( around 40 minutes) on my macbook air m1 to >> calculate the points, but at least it could run successfully and below is >> the wonderful picture and the code, in case anyone is interested. >> >> [image: Screenshot 2022-12-30 at 6.02.52 PM.png] >> >> >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> OpenSCAD mailing list >> To unsubscribe send an email to discuss-leave@lists.openscad.org >> >>

the scad file is 22mb and that is the reason did not share it. I have checked the rendering time in openscad and it is around 4.5 sec (flushed caches and f5 3 times) f6 rendering 4.5 sec as well On Fri, 30 Dec 2022 at 20:26, Sanjeev Prabhakar <sprabhakar2006@gmail.com> wrote: > that is only few seconds, > i did not look at the it, but it was almost instant > > > On Fri, 30 Dec 2022 at 19:12, jon <jon@jonbondy.com> wrote: > >> So, the 2500 seconds was outside OpenSCAD: how long was the OpenSCAD >> rendering? >> On 12/30/2022 8:37 AM, Sanjeev Prabhakar wrote: >> >> Points were calculated through python and rendered in openscad >> >> On Fri, 30 Dec, 2022, 6:49 pm jon, <jon@jonbondy.com> wrote: >> >>> Was this done in OpenSCAD? >>> On 12/30/2022 7:48 AM, Sanjeev Prabhakar wrote: >>> >>> sometime back someone posted this code for making an artifact. >>> >>> It took a long time but could not be executed, although some >>> workaround was found. >>> >>> Gave it a try with the same code rewritten in python (JN) >>> >>> It still took 2500 sec ( around 40 minutes) on my macbook air m1 to >>> calculate the points, but at least it could run successfully and below is >>> the wonderful picture and the code, in case anyone is interested. >>> >>> [image: Screenshot 2022-12-30 at 6.02.52 PM.png] >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> OpenSCAD mailing list >>> To unsubscribe send an email to discuss-leave@lists.openscad.org >>> >>>

     class Case
     {
         function Width()     = 100;
         function Height()    = 100;
         function Depth()     = 100;
         module   Draw(val)
         {
             // render somthing
         }
     }
     Case.Draw(10);

     use<./myFile.scad> as Case
     Case.Draw(10);

is there any or could there be any functionality for grouping of modules and function example class Case { function Width() = 100; function Height() = 100; function Depth() = 100; module Draw(val) { // render somthing } } Case.Draw(10); or maybe something like use<./myFile.scad> as Case Case.Draw(10); these are obviously examples of grouping and are not likely to compile Jay Dee

But if you feel experimental and maybe even have the time for providing feedback to the still open questions listed there, it could be an interesting place to get involved with. ciao, Torsten.
