Once again I thank eveyone for their input and I'll be back I'm sure but for now I have a workable option using Sketchup, where it is easy to dimension parts/models and import them to MakerWare or RplicatorG to slice and dice for a 3D Pinter. Regards Attleyby Attley - 3D Design tools
Bob,Roband Bob Using input from each of you I have imported the Inkspace .dxf to OpenSCAD successfully and it compiles with out errors however I do not get any graphics display. I saved the .scad to the same directory as the .dxf file and imported it. Then it compileded ok but no graphics. The original .dxf was sved with ' splines' as mentioned and I have changed that to 'line segments'. Howevby Attley - 3D Design tools
Thanks to ALL again for responding. You are right. The new .scad file is: linear_extrude(height = 100, convexity = 1) import(file="C:\Users\ATTLEY\Desktop\test_of_juice_top.dxf"); and I have attached the .dxf file as well. The compile error is as shown below and the render output follows. Parsing design (AST generation)... Compiling design (CSG Tree generation)... Compilation finished. Comby Attley - 3D Design tools
Bob Thanks for the response to my query. I don't know how to include the inkscape .svg or the .dxf file in this document! If you can advise me on how to do this I'd be glad to send it. It is essentially a rectangle with a rectangular hole in it and and a truncateded cylinder on top of the rectangle. The message I get in OpenSCAD is 'no top level geometry to render' when I try to compile andby Attley - 3D Design tools
