.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
This manual page documents briefly the \fBopenscad\fP command.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
\fBopenscad\fP is a software for creating solid 3D CAD objects. It focuses on
|
|
|
|
|
CAD aspects rather than artistic ones.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OpenSCAD will start as a graphical program unless export options are given (see
|
|
|
|
|
below). For the usage of the GUI and a description of the OpenSCAD language see
|
|
|
|
|
the OpenSCAD user manual at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual.

.SH OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
\fB-o\fP \fIoutputfile\fP
|
2013-01-31 08:17:35 +04:00
|
|
|
Export the given file to \fIoutputfile\fP in STL, OFF, DXF, CSG, or PNG format,
|
2011-11-03 21:40:54 +04:00
|
|
|
depending on file extension of \fIoutputfile\fP (which has to be lower case).
|
|
|
|
|
If this option is given, the GUI will not be started.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
\fB\-d\fP \fIfile.deps\fP
|
|
|
|
|
If the \fB-d\fP option is given, all files accessed while exporting are written
|
|
|
|
|
to the given deps file in the syntax of a Makefile.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
\fB-m\fP \fImake_command\fP
|
|
|
|
|
If a nonexisting file is accessed during OpenSCAD's operation, it will try to
|
|
|
|
|
invoke \fImake_command missing_file\fP to create the missing file, and then
|
|
|
|
|
read it again.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
\fB-D\fP \fIvar=val\fP
|
|
|
|
|
This option can be used to assign constant values to OpenSCAD variables. 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.
|
|
|
|
|
More than one \fB-D\fP options can be given.
