### Module: miter\_tubes()
|
|
|
|
**Synopsis:** Generates a sequence of mitered tubes
|
|
|
|
**Topics:** [Metal](Topics#metal)
|
|
|
|
**Description:**
|
|
|
|
This module generates a sequence of mitered tubes based on the provided section lengths,
|
|
with options for customizing their dimensions and unfolding their arrangement.
|
|
|
|
**Arguments:**
|
|
|
|
<abbr title="These args can be used by position or by name.">By Position</abbr> | What it does
|
|
-------------------- | ------------
|
|
`section` | 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.
|
|
`heights` | The height of each tube. This value defines the dimension perpendicular to the tube's length and depth.
|
|
`depth` | The depth of each tube. This value defines the dimension perpendicular to the tube's length and height.
|
|
|
|
<abbr title="These args must be used by name, ie: name=value">By Name</abbr> | What it does
|
|
-------------------- | ------------
|
|
`unfold` | 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`.
|
|
|
|
**Example 1:** Simple Case
|
|
|
|
<img align="left" alt="miter\_tubes() Example 1" src="images/metalib/miter_tubes.png" width="320" height="240">
|
|
|
|
include <Metalib/metalib.scad>;
|
|
miter_tubes(
|
|
sections = [800,750,800],
|
|
height = 50,
|
|
depth = 50,
|
|
start=false,
|
|
end=false,
|
|
unfold = false,
|
|
quote=false
|
|
);
