Building Code

The building code is executed after any initialization. Usually it produces one or many 2D or 3D objects on base of the given building plan.

test

sketch Wheel(radius: Length, thickness = 5mm) {
    // building code starts here
    use std::geo2d::Circle;
    Circle(radius = radius + thickness) - Circle(radius)
}
Wheel(radius = 1cm);

If initializers were defined the building code starts below them.

test

sketch Wheel(radius: Length, thickness = 5mm) {
    // initializer code
    use std::geo2d::Circle;
    // initializer
    init(diameter: Length) {
        radius = diameter / 2;
    }

    // building code starts here
    std::geo2d::Circle(radius);
}
Wheel(radius = 1cm);

Restrictions

Illegal statements within workbenches

It's not allowed to use the sketch, part, op, return nor mod statements within workbench code:

test

sketch Wheel(radius: Length) {
    sketch A() {} // error
    part B() {} // error
    op C() {} // error
}

test

sketch Wheel(radius: Length) {
    mod m {} // error
}

test

sketch Wheel(radius: Length) {
    return; // error
}
