Using the *attach( TOP, BOTTOM )* command, how can I attach the bottom of two different objects to the top of the single parent object? Say I have a 4" x 4" x .5" parent plate and I want to attach a 1" x 1" x .5" child block and a 1" dia x .5" child cylinder next to each other on top of the parent plate. What would the code structure be like?

Off the top of my head, it’d look something like: include <BOSL2/std.scad> cube([4,4,0.5]*INCH, center=true) { attach(TOP,BOT) { xdistribute(1*INCH) { cube([1,1,0.5]*INCH); cyl(d=1*INCH, h=0.5*INCH); } } } - Revar > On Mar 27, 2022, at 11:30 AM, Joe Weinpert <joe.weinpert@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Using the attach( TOP, BOTTOM ) command, how can I attach the bottom of two different objects to the top of the single parent object? > > Say I have a 4" x 4" x .5" parent plate and I want to attach a 1" x 1" x .5" child block and a 1" dia x .5" child cylinder next to each other on top of the parent plate.

Well, you may be right in having to use a distribution style command to wrap different child object bottoms to a single parent's top. I tried with an attach() command for each child object, but then the 2nd child object was considered the parent of the third child object ... like stacking boxes.
