InPhase: I thought I would be able to use the HULL() operation to make a slant between the first cylinder and the second cylinder. Except I get the huge overlap that basically overs all of it which is definitely not what I wanted. https://pastebin.com/rTfxPXjV
<cart_man>
InPhase: What I want is cylinder one merging with cylinder two but not in the Middle of the entire project. The reason I want this is because I want a slight slant that connects cylinder one(OUTER) with cylinder two(INNER). You will see that the second shell() is translated on Z just a little
<cart_man>
I have been looking for ways to have the middle of the cylinder that creates the "Waves" have a beveld "Middle" if that makes sense. But I do not think it is the right way
<InPhase>
cart_man: That's a whole lot easier than what you're doing.
<InPhase>
cart_man: Notice 15.2 is the right side x, 15 is the left side x... z is the height.

You can make 15.2 the right side x, and 13 the left side, but for the left side make it go to z-2.
<InPhase>
i.e., make the rectangles into trapezoids.

InPhase: Man that is crazy simple to do. So there are a couple of things I do not get about the entire function. Is Affine and RotZ keywords standard OpenScad functions? I can not see them in the CheatSheet. \
<InPhase>
They're not. Those are supplied by closepoints.scad
<InPhase>
They are just mathematical operations on the points.
<InPhase>
RotZ prepares a z-axis rotation matrix, and Affine applies it to the points.
<InPhase>
You can see them inside the closepoints.scad file. They are very short functions, using some pretty basic linear algebra.
<InPhase>
Just then abstracted into names that are more human friendly.

Hi all, i was using the 2025 version of openscad on macos (M4). it was working great for a few months but suddenly started crashing i get the below error:
