Hello, I'm a new user from Belgium. Long time user of OpenJSCAD that I use to help me build cardboard structures, I was recently amazed by Cascade Studio and started to use it. I already built an object from it and it helped me design another one that I finished by hand with Wings 3d. Now I'm trying to make a very important thing for my crafting process : when I build a cardboard furniture, I start by creating its skeleton that is made of two pairs of cross pieces slices.

With the getBounds function() (that needed to have !bmin.x replace by (bmin.x === null) ), it didn't take me long to be able to have my two halves. Now I only need to render 2d slices and it will be a functional script. That's already impressive to be able to do that so easily. |

Well, I'm almost done. I now have the slices aligned as I need for my process (I mean cut them), but there's no option to save to a 2d format (svg or dxf), so I saved to .obj. First I tried to save the model as wire, in order to save it to a 2d format, but I finally saved to .obj and got a hollow model. Then I save the slices as 3d, but It's not a handy format for me. Is there a way to have my slices saved to a 2d format ? |
