Please ask questions and provide tips or whatever in the comments to the YouTube video demonstrating this projecy. You are super welcome, and you'll love it. In #scad-clj experts and beginners enthusiastically share tips and help each other. The quickest and best way is to join the #scad-clj channel on the Clojurians Slack. If you are new to Clojure I can happily recommend my Get Started with Clojure guide.

Also see below about the #scad-clj Slack channel.Ĭlojure is documented at, there are super nice examples of how to use the extensive Clojure core library at (and soon those will also be available in Calva). As it happens, the scad-clj source code is included in this project, and digging around some there will inform you how the OpenSCAD documentation translates to Clojure forms. Scad-clj isn't all that documented yet (not at all, actually), but don't fear! Mostly you will figure things out with the help of the OpenSCAD documentation and the examples in this project. OpenSCAD is well documented and there are a lot of resources out there. See Custom REPL Commands for how to create more of these workflow enhancements yourself. You can make explicit testing functions that run other functions providing them with arguments, when zero arguments just don't make sense.Ĭheck settings.json to see how these shortcuts are defined. ) form to make them all be redefined at the press of alt+enter ( Evaluate Top Level form), since they sometimes are derived from each other. To facilitate this, example.clj uses namespace defs for all configuration of the model.

Make all functions that you want to render in isolation take no arguments.

To make your own models compliant with this workflow you will need to:

With the cursor anywhere in the file, this will render the full model.Render the full model with ctrl+alt+space m You'll render just what that function renders. ( -> ( m/text 'Calva ♥️ scad-clj ' :size text-s With the cursor somewhere inside a zero-argument function, like:.Render the current function with ctrl+alt+space f (m/cube 5 5 1)) you'll render just that ”cube”. With the cursor right before or after e.g.Render the current form with ctrl+alt+space c This project includes some VS Code settings that makes it easy to render any sub component of the full model: Therefore: Customized workflow settings included Terrforming should be an explicit action. You want to be able to load the file to modify the running program, without worrying about mutating the world around you. However, it is an anti-pattern, imo, to have side effects and potentially compute heavy things, to happen on file load, if it can be avoided. why? Isn't it super convenient to just load the file and rerender the model? Yes, it is. Rich Comment) form, which makes it not run when the file loads.īut. It hides the (render (model)) evaluation in a (comment.You will see the updated model rendered in OpenSCAD immediately. Now you are set! All the examples, except example.clj will re-create the render.scad file when you load it in the REPL (like in step 6 above).

This will render the model and OpenSCAD will hot reload it every time it updates.

This creates the render.scad file at the root of the project.

Load the file, Calva: Load Current File and Dependencies.

Start the project, Calva: Start a Project REPL and Connect (aka Jack-in).

Start VS Code and size the window so that it is above the left pane of OpenSCAD.

With those things installed on your computer, you'll be interactively rendering 3D models from Clojure code in something like one minute:

(And you don't need to install it.) OpenSCAD shows you the results immediately, in an incredibly easy to use viewer. It makes it super easy to compose in 3D space. scad-clj is a wrapper/transpiler from Clojure to.

The software stack is Java, the clojure tool, scad-clj and OpenSCAD.
