Rectangular Extrude
Extrude a rectangle (upright, perpendicular) along the outlines of the two dimensional shape.
Simplified (openscad like, even though OpenSCAD doesn't provide this) via rectangular_extrude(), where as
- w: width (default: 1),
- h: height (default: 1),
- fn: resolution (default: 8), and
- closed: whether path is closed or not (default: false)
rectangular_extrude([ [10,10], [-10,10], [-20,0], [-10,-10], [10,-10] ], // path is an array of 2d coords {w: 1, h: 3, closed: true});
or more low-level via rectangularExtrude(), with following unnamed variables:
- width of the extrusion, in the z=0 plane
- height of the extrusion in the z direction
- resolution, number of segments per 360 degrees for the curve in a corner
- roundEnds: if true, the ends of the polygon will be rounded, otherwise they will be flat
// first creating a 2D path, and then extrude it var path = new CSG.Path2D([ [10,10], [-10,10], [-20,0], [-10,-10], [10,-10] ], /*closed=*/true); var csg = path.rectangularExtrude(3, 4, 16, true); // w, h, resolution, roundEnds return csg;
