LibFile: base_bgtk.scad

This file has all the modules needed to generate varioius inserts for board games. It makes the generation of the inserts simpler by creating a number of useful base modules for making boxes and lids of various types specific to board game inserts. Specifically it makes tabbed lids and sliding lids easily.

To use, add the following lines to the beginning of your file:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
