I am still working on the server part of things here, and since this is the first time I am working on something like that, there is a lot of reading involved as well. I have done a fair bit of coding, along with SQL integration for creating necessary databases for the program, managing correct permissions for admin and user.

It is free software and available for Linux/UNIX, Windows and Mac OS X.

The other way is to go in full-fledged, and develop a complete system, coding all the server and client pages, and have everything on the same machine (instead of logging onto the virtual machine as in the case of the trial version). OpenSCAD is software for creating solid 3D CAD models. It has been quite an informative interaction with them, and they have been quite helpful in this regard. I am able to run the client part of the system, but there are issues with the Ansible (automation platform) file, and I am waiting for them to release the 2.0 version of the same. I have been in constant touch with the group at NCSU Libraries, who developed this system, and they have been helping me with trying to debug the system, but there has been only limited success in this direction. A trial version can be developed using Vagrant and Virtual Box (they have put a version on their machine, and it can be accessed (theoretically) from your own PC). There are two possible ways to go about it. The other project that I mentioned in my last post is SUMA. So, to summarize, 3D modelling in OpenSCAD is as simple as mastering the usage of 10 commands, and then converting your problem (3d-model) into a combination of the shapes using CSG.Ī use of the above commands is shown below for seeing just how powerful these commands can be - click to enlarge! Most of the operations that you need to do can be done with these 10 commands. These 10 commands are in three different categories: shapes (cube, sphere, cylinder), transforms (translate, scale, rotate, mirror), and CSG (Boolean) operations (union, difference, intersection). There are some basic commands that one should know the usage of, before working on the software, and if they do, 3D modelling will be a “relative” piece of cake!
a complex surface or object can be created using Boolean operators to combine objects. OpenSCAD is a 3D modeling program based on constructive solid geometry (CSG), i.e. The first line of your file must be: use These are the important files, so if you move things around, remember to keep these files together: Create a new openSCAD file and save it in the same directory as the files above. A great utility file was created by member HarlanDMii. As promised in the last blog post, here is a writeup about the “coding” based (amazing) 3D modelling software. Think of other files as libraries or utility files.
