You can add holes by clicking on the Add Point Mode and creating another closed shape:.When you want to finish the shape click back on the first point. Click on the grid to make the next point:.Click on the green dot if you want your polygon to begin at the central axis point.

INKSCAPE EXTENSIONS EXTRUDE GENERATOR
The Polygon Generator is a visual helper for generating polygons. Working with Polygons in OpenSCAD can get confusing, but there are some helper applications that can simplify the proces for you.Ĭlick on the links below to explore each option:Ĭreate your polygons in Inkscape or import svgs into Inkscape and export your shapes with an extension This problem can be checked for by flipping the polygon using scale() (assuming that extrusion is being done about the Z axis as it is by default).
If a polygon is wound in the wrong direction with respect to the axis of rotation, the final solid (after extrusion) may end up invisible. When using extrusion to form solids, its important to realize that the winding direction of the polygon is significant. In order to get a 3D object, you either extrude a 2D polygon (linear or (rotation ) or directly use the polyhedron primitive solid. The points (the numbers that correspond to the position of a point defined in the points vector) are connected using 2 paths. In this example, you have 6 points (three for the "outer" triangle, and three for the "inner" one).
