Transforms

Translate

Translates, or moves, one or more objects in specified dimensions x, y, and z.

						
//!OpenSCAD
translate([0, 0, 0]){
	object(attributes);
}						
					

Rotate

Rotates one or more objects around the specified axes x, y, and z. Values are entered in degrees.

						
//!OpenSCAD
rotate([0, 0, 0]){
	object(attributes);
}						
					

Mirror

Mirrors one or more objects across a specified plane.

						
//!OpenSCAD
mirror([0, 0, 0]){
	object(attributes);
}						
					

Scale

Scales one or more objects by a specified amount in dimensions x, y, and z.

						
//!OpenSCAD
scale([0, 0, 0]){
	object(attributes);
}						
					

Color

Applies the specified color to the object, which must be 3D. There are two color blocks. One allows the use of a color picker and the other allows specific color values to be entered as either HSV or RGB numeric values. Each value should be between 0 and 100.

						
//!OpenSCAD
//color picker
color([1,0.8,0]) {
	object(attributes);
}
//color - numeric HSV values
color(hsv(.01 * (0), .01 * (100), .01 * (100))){
	object(attributes);
}						
					

Sides

Sets the number of sides for one or more objects using approximated arcs (sphere cylinder, circle, torus).

						
//!OpenSCAD
{
  $fn=8;    //set sides to 8
}						
					

Linear Extrude

Extrudes one or more 2-dimensional objects by a specified height with a specified twist. The resulting extrusion may optionally be centered around the origin.

						
//!OpenSCAD
linear_extrude( height=10, twist=0, scale=[1, 1], center=false){
	2D_object(attributes);
}						
					

Rotate Extrude

Rotate extrudes one or more 2-dimensional objects around the z axis with a specified number of sides.

						
//!OpenSCAD
rotate_extrude($fn=5){
	2D_object(attributes);
}
