## Miter tubes module
|
|
|
|
|
|
This module generates a sequence of mitered tubes based on the provided section lengths, with options for customizing their dimensions and unfolding their arrangement.
|
|
|
|
Parameters:
|
|
- `sections` (array): An array of section lengths, each specifying the length of an individual tube.
|
|
Example: `[10, 20, 30]` will create three tubes of lengths 10, 20, and 30 units respectively.
|
|
|
|
- `height` (number): The height of each tube. This value defines the dimension perpendicular
|
|
to the tube's length and depth.
|
|
|
|
- `depth` (number): The depth of each tube. This value defines the dimension perpendicular
|
|
to the tube's length and height.
|
|
|
|
- `unfold` (boolean, optional): Determines whether the sequence of tubes should be unfolded
|
|
for easier visualization or fabrication. When `true`, the tubes are laid out in a flat arrangement.
|
|
Defaults to `false`.
|
|
|
|
As an example let's create metalon arch :
|
|
```python
|
|
include <BOSL2/std.scad>;
|
|
include <Metalib/metalib.scad>;
|
|
|
|
yrot(-90)
|
|
miter_tubes([400,500,400],30,20,start=false,end=false);
|
|
```
