This is like releasing a full source code because it's "open source" but only in binary format, which require a lot of work to make it work. And i'm talking about the printed parts with their useless from an engineering standpoint STL format and the lack of support of openScad

They can't made mods to the design unless they learn OpenScad. If it is done in any other package it cannot be merged back into the GitHub source so will never become part of the official design.

When I showed OpenScad and what I could do with it to the senior mechanical engineer where I used to work he was fearful for his job in the future because be could see how much more powerful it was compared to conventional CAD.

eventually all design will be done by computer scripting languages.

I don't know about the OP and his friend, but simply checking out and studying an assembly does not require merging back to GitHub source. It does require some real CAD software though!

How do you measure clearance from one part to another in OpenSCAD?
Quote
LOL that is so ludicrous. So you think OpenSCAD invented parametrics? The first CAD software to do so was Pro|Engineer in the late eighties. And it was GUI-based. I've been working with one parametric CAD package or the other since 1998. Assembly configurations and table-driven assemblies can accomplish the same thing as what your configuration script does - through a GUI.

Do you seriously think a car or an aeroplane could be designed in something like OpenSCAD or any other scripting program?

In almost all but the simpler scad parts I've looked at, there were errors. Joined or intersected primitives which did not exactly match. It may not matter to produce STLs, but most would be invalid for manufacturing.

Yes of course it can.

Yes that is deliberate because CSG operations on coincident faces fail.

You don't measure anything in OpenScad, you tell it how far apart things should be.

So there is no need to measure anything. With OpenScad you tell it the important dimensions and it works out all the others. I have never needed to know what the actual value of Y_carriage_height is, for example. I just specified it should have 2mm clearance. I don't see why anybody else needs to know either.
