Here is a well-commented version of the above which explains the math: Multmatrix(M) cylinder(h=L, r=r, $fn=30) We do this by computing the transformation matrix directly:įunction transpose(A) = )-1]) ) This is an exact answer to the question above.
#OPENSCAD RECTANGLE HOW TO#
Here is how to construct a cylinder between two points in OpenSCAD with minimal arithmetic and Searching for math solutions tells me I need the dot product and the cross product as angle and axis respectively, but I'm lost on producing a quaternion or transforming my results into the parameters forįunction dot (v1, v2) = * v2, v1 * v2, v1 * v2] I have two objects at arbitrary locations, and I want to draw a cylinder between one and another.

#OPENSCAD RECTANGLE CODE#
Generated code will be written in the "sample.scad". This library provides intuitive interface when you handle 3D data. I think it is more realistic, to use other dimensions like length or dh in this sketch It is necessary to install a development snapshot, see download openscad The curve is defined by radius and angle.
