OpenSCAD mechanical design library
A documented mechanical design library for OpenSCAD.
To use omdl, it must be installed to the OpenSCAD library location.
A setup script is available to simplify the setup and install process.
This script can optionally install openscad-amu, the the design-flow
automation development framework used to test the library and build its
documentation.
The setup script is the recommended install method. However, on-line
snapshots for manual installation are available at omdl-snapshot.
There you can review the latest release documentation prior to
installing locally.
To install the latest tagged release of omdl, use the following
steps:
mkdir tmp && cd tmp
wget https://git.io/setup-omdl.bash && chmod +x setup-omdl.bash
./setup-omdl.bash --branch-list tags1 --no-excludes --yes --install
The option --yes can be omitted if you prefer to confirm the
installation of the required packages. If you don’t like shortened
URLs, here is the full URL to setup-omdl.bash at the source
repository. Once setup completes, the cache directory can be removed.
View the installed library documentation with:
google-chrome ${HOME}/.local/share/OpenSCAD/docs/html/index.html
To install a specific library version, use:
./setup-omdl.bash --branch v0.6.1 --no-excludes --yes --install
To install a specific library version along with the openscad-amu
version used to build the library, use:
./setup-omdl.bash --branch v0.9.7 --no-excludes --yes --local-toolchain --install
For a complete list of setup options, type;
./setup-omdl.bash --help
omdl uses git for development tracking, and is hosted on GitHub
following the usual practice of forking and submitting pull requests
to the source repository.
