导出选项
编辑When called with the -o option, OpenSCAD will not start the GUI, but execute the given file and export the to the output_file in a format depending on the extension (.stl / .off / .dxf, .csg).
Some versions use -s/-d/-o to determine the output file format instead; check with "openscad --help".
If the option -d is given in addition to an export command, all files accessed while building the mesh are written in the argument of -d in the syntax of a Makefile.
For at least 2015.03-2+, specifying the extension .echo causes openscad to produce a text file containing error messages and the output of all echo() calls in filename as they would appear in the console window visible in the GUI. Multiple output files are not supported, so using this option you cannot also obtain the model that would have normally been generated.
Camera and image output
编辑For 2013.05+, the option to output a .png image was added. There are two types of cameras available for the generation of images.
The first camera type is a 'gimbal' camera that uses Euler angles, translation, and a camera distance, like OpenSCAD's GUI viewport display at the bottom of the OpenSCAD window.
The second camera type is a 'vector' camera, with an 'eye' camera location vector and a 'lookat' center vector.
--imgsize x,y chooses the .png dimensions and --projection chooses orthogonal or perspective, as in the GUI.
By default, cmdline .png output uses Preview mode (f5) with OpenCSG. For some situations it will be desirable instead to use the full render, with CGAL. This is done by adding '--render' as an option.
Constants
编辑In order to pre-define variables, use the -D option. It can be given repeatedly. Each occurrence of -D must be followed by an assignment. Unlike normal OpenSCAD assignments, these assignments don't define variables, but constants, which can not be changed inside the program, and can thus be used to overwrite values defined in the program at export time.
If you want to assign the -D variable to another variable, the -D variable MUST be initialised in the main .scad program
param1=17; // must be initalized val=param1; // param1 passed via -D on cmd-line echo(val,param1); // outputs 17,17
without the first line, val would be undefined.
The right hand sides can be arbitrary OpenSCAD expressions, including mathematical operations and strings. Be aware that strings have to be enclosed in quotes, which have to be escaped from the shell. To render a model that takes a quality parameter with the value "production", one has to run
openscad -o my_model_production.stl -D 'quality="production"' my_model.scad
When executing OpenSCAD from another process in Unix, the single-quotes shouldn't be used e.g. from within a Java application:
pb = new ProcessBuilder("/usr/bin/openscad",
"-o", "my_model_production.stl",
"-D", "quality=\"production\"",
"my_model.scad");
On Windows you may need to escape the inner quotes instead:
openscad -o my_model_production.stl -D "quality=\"production\"" my_model.scad
Command to build required files
编辑In a complex build process, some files required by an OpenSCAD file might be currently missing, but can be generated, for example if they are defined in a Makefile. If OpenSCAD is given the option -m make, it will start make file the first time it tries to access a missing file.
处理一个文件夹中所有的.scad文件
编辑Example to convert all the .scad in a folder into .stl:
In a folder with .scad files, make a .bat file with text:
FOR %%f in (*.scad) DO openscad -o "%%~nf.stl" "%%f"
If it closes without processing, check to set the PATH by adding openscad directory to:
Start - Settings - Control Panel - System - Advanced tab - Environment Variables - System Variables, select Path, then click Edit.
Add the openscad directory to the list
Makefile示例
编辑The -d and -m options only make sense together. (-m without -d would not consider modified dependencies when building exports, -d without -m would require the files to be already built for the first run that generates the dependencies.)
Here is an example of a basic Makefile that creates an .stl file from an .scad file of the same name:
# explicit wildcard expansion suppresses errors when no files are found include $(wildcard *.deps) %.stl: %.scad openscad -m make -o $@ -d $@.deps $<
When make my_example.stl is run for the first time, it finds no .deps files, and will just depend on my_example.scad; since my_example.stl is not yet preset, it will be created unconditionally. If OpenSCAD finds missing files, it will call make to build them, and it will list all used files in my_example.stl.deps.
When make my_example.stl is called subsequently, it will find and include my_example.stl.deps and check if any of the files listed there, including my_example.scad, changed since my_example.stl was built, based on their time stamps. Only if that is the case, it will build my_example.stl again.
Automatic targets
编辑When building similar .stl files from a single .scad file, there is a way to automate that too:
# match "module foobar() { // `make` me"
TARGETS=$(shell sed '/^module [a-z0-9_-]*().*make..\?me.*$$/!d;s/module //;s/().*/.stl/' base.scad)
all: ${TARGETS}
# auto-generated .scad files with .deps make make re-build always. keeping the
# scad files solves this problem. (explanations are welcome.)
.SECONDARY: $(shell echo "${TARGETS}" | sed 's/\.stl/.scad/g')
# explicit wildcard expansion suppresses errors when no files are found
include $(wildcard *.deps)
%.scad:
echo -ne 'use <base.scad>\n$*();' > $@
%.stl: %.scad
openscad -m make -o $@ -d $@.deps $<
All objects that are supposed to be exported automatically have to be defined in base.scad in an own module with their future file name (without the ".stl"), and have a comment like "// make me" in the line of the module definition. The "TARGETS=" line picks these out of the base file and creates the file names. These will be built when make all (or make, for short) is called.
As the convention from the last example is to create the .stl files from .scad files of the same base name, for each of these files, an .scad file has to be generated. This is done in the "%.scad:" paragraph; my_example.scad will be a very simple OpenSCAD file:
use <base.scad> my_example();
The ".SECONDARY" line is there to keep make from deleting the generated .scad files. If it deleted it, it would not be able to automatically determine which files need no rebuild any more; please post ideas about what exactly goes wrong there (or how to fix it better) on the talk page!
Windows版备注
编辑On Windows, openscad.com should be called from the command line as a wrapper for openscad.exe. This is because Openscad uses the 'devenv' solution to the Command-Line/GUI output issue. Typing 'openscad' at the cmd.exe prompt will, by default, call the .com program wrapper.
MacOS版备注
编辑On MacOS the binary is normally hidden inside the App folder. If OpenSCAD is installed in the global Applications folder, it can be called from command line like in the following example that just shows the OpenSCAD version:
macbook:/$ /Applications/OpenSCAD.app/Contents/MacOS/OpenSCAD -v OpenSCAD version 2013.06
Alternatively, you may create a symbolic link to the binary to make calls from the command line easier:
macbook:/$ sudo ln -sf /Applications/OpenSCAD.app/Contents/MacOS/OpenSCAD /usr/local/bin/openscad
Now you can call openscad directly without having to type in the full path.
macbook:/$ openscad -v OpenSCAD version 2015.03-3
On some versions of MacOS, you might get the following error when attempting to run openscad via that link:
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "cocoa".
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Abort trap: 6
You can fix this by creating a wrapper script to invoke the executable directly:
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/openscad echo '#!/bin/sh' > test echo '/Applications/OpenSCAD.app/Contents/MacOS/OpenSCAD $*' >> test chmod +x test ; sudo mv test /usr/local/bin/openscad
