3 2D Shapes

You’re now familiar with a good collection of basic OpenSCAD instructions for modeling simple 3D shapes, and you’ve seen operations that can transform those basic shapes into more complex designs. This chapter will teach you how to create and combine 2D shapes in order to build even more sophisticated 3D designs.

We’ll start by showing you how to draw basic 2D shapes, and then we’ll describe how to build on those basic 2D shapes to create elaborate 3D designs. Using 2D shapes will allow you to create designs that are not possible to build with the 3D shapes and operations you’ve learned so far. In addition, knowing how to create ...
