NAME
openscad - script file based graphical CAD environment SYNOPSIS
openscad [options] [file] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the openscad command. openscad 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. OPTIONS
-o outputfile Export the given file to outputfile in STL, OFF, DXF or CSG format, depending on file extension of outputfile (which has to be lower case). If this option is given, the GUI will not be started. -d file.deps If the -d option is given, all files accessed while exporting are written to the given deps file in the syntax of a Makefile. -m make_command 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. -D var=val 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 -D options can be given. -v, --version Show version of program. AUTHOR
OpenSCAD was written by Clifford Wolf, Marius Kintel, and others. This manual page was written by chrysn <chrysn@fsfe.org>, for the Debian project (and may be used by others). 2011-11-03 OPENSCAD(1)
