If exporting an image, use a Vector camera with the given parameters. camera=eyex,eyey,eyez,centerx,centery,centerz Rot is rotation around the x, y, and z axis, trans is the distance to move the object in the x, y, and z directions, and distance is the distance between the camera and the center of the object. If exporting an image, use a Gimbal camera with the given parameters. camera=transx,transy,transz,rotx,roty,rotz,distance If exporting an image as an OpenCSG preview, stop rendering after encountering limit elements to avoid runaway resource usage. animateĮxport N animated frames as PNG images. If exporting an image, use an OpenCSG preview (optionally in throwntogether mode for quicker rendering). If exporting an image, render the model fully.

The variable's value is an expression, so if this mechanism is used to assign strings, care has to be taken that the shell does not consume quotation marks. This option can be used to assign constant values to OpenSCAD variables. If a nonexisting file is accessed during OpenSCAD's operation, it will try to invoke make_command missing_file to create the missing file, and then read it again. If the -d option is given, all files accessed while exporting are written to the given deps file in the syntax of a Makefile. Quiet mode (don't print anything except errors) -d ps Overrides format of exported scad file when using option -o, arg can be any of its supported file extensions. (The rendering process will still take place if the -render option is given.) -export-format If outputfile is null, no output file will be written, but the file will still be evaluated and all echo commands will be written to the standard error output. Known extensions: stl, off, amf, 3mf, csg, dxf, svg, png, echo, ast, term, nef3, nefdbg.Īdditional formats, which are mainly used for debugging and testing (but can also be used in automation), are AST (the input file as parsed and serialized again), CSG (an OpenSCAD language representation of the input file with calculations done and module calls applied), TERM (the constructive solid geometry expression passed to OpenCSG). If this option is given, the GUI will not be started. Options -o outputfileĮxport the given file to outputfile in STL, OFF, AMF, 3MF, DXF, SVG, or PNG format, depending on file extension of outputfile.

For the usage of the GUI and a description of the OpenSCAD language see the OpenSCAD user manual at.

OpenSCAD will start as a graphical program unless export options are given (see below). It focuses on CAD aspects rather than artistic ones.

#OPENSCAD EXPORT SVG SOFTWARE#

Openscad is a software for creating solid 3D CAD objects. This manual page documents briefly the openscad command.

Render a file to PNG in a specific colorscheme: openscad -o path/to/button.png -colorscheme Sunset path/to/button.scad.

Convert a file to STL: openscad -o path/to/button.stl path/to/button.scad.

Open a file: openscad path/to/button.scad.

Script file based graphical CAD environment Examples (TL DR)
