Overview

1. First Steps
2. The OpenSCAD User Interface
3. The OpenSCAD Language
   1. General - READ THIS FIRST - comments, values and data types, variables
   2. Primitive Solids - cube, sphere, cylinder & polyhedron
   3. Mathematical Operators
   4. Mathematical Functions
      1. Trigonometric (cos sin tan acos asin atan atan2)
      2. Other (abs ceil concat cross exp floor ln len let log lookup max min norm pow rands round sign sqrt)
   5. String Functions - str, chr
   6. List Comprehensions
   7. Transformations - Size & placement. scale, resize, rotate, translate, mirror, multmatrix, offset, color, minkowski & hull
      1. Combining transformations
   8. Conditional and Iterator Functions - for, if,conditional ? : & assign
   9. CSG Modelling - Combine primitives. union, difference, intersection & render
   10. Modifier Characters - Debugging aids, % # ! *
   11. User-Defined Functions and Modules
   12. Include Statement
   13. Other Language Features - Special '$' variables, echo, render, surface, search , version() & version_num()
4. Using the 2D Subsystem
   1. 2D Primitives - square, circle, polygon & import_dxf
   2. Text - Generate text using installed or user supplied font files.
   3. 3D to 2D Projection - projection
   4. 2D to 3D Extrusion - linear_extrude & rotate_extrude
   5. DXF Extrusion
   6. Other 2D formats
5. STL Import and Export
   1. STL Import
   2. STL Export
6. Commented Example Projects
7. Using an external Editor with OpenSCAD
8. Using OpenSCAD in a command line environment
9. Building OpenSCAD from Sources
