Module: FingerHoleSegmentCutout()

Description:

Makes a single segment for use in the capbox wall. It will make the rounded finger holes on the side of the capbox at the correct direction and length.

Arguments:

By Position	What it does
path	the path to generate for (this should be one line segment)
radius	the radius of the rounding on the fingerhole
height	the height of the fingerhole
wall_thickness	the thickness of the walls

Example 1:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
FingerHoleSegmentCutout([[0,0], [50,50]], radius=5, height=7, wall_thickness=2);

Module: PolygonBoxLidCatch()

Topics: CapBox

Description:

Arguments:

By Position	What it does
path	the path to generate for (this should be one line segment)
radius	the radius of the rounding on the fingerhole
wall_thickness	the thickness of the walls
delta	how much to offset the segment by

Example 1:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
PolygonBoxLidCatch(path=[[0,0], [50,50]], radius=5, wall_thickness = 2, delta=0);

Example 2:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>

finger_hold_height	how heigh the finger hold bit it is (default 5)
material_colour	the colour of the material in the box (default default_material_colour)
last_child_positive	if the last child in the list is a positive add to the box, not negative (default false)
lid_catch	CATCH_NONE - no catch, CATCH_LENGTH - length catch, CATCH_WIDTH - width catch (default
[CATCH\_LENGTH](base_bgtk.scad#constant-catch_length))

Example 1:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
