modelrift-openscad

Design, render, inspect, debug, and export parametric CAD models in OpenSCAD for 3D-printable parts. Use OpenSCAD CLI to create preview PNGs, compare STL revisions, select cameras, export STL and multi-object 3MF files, generate projections and cross-sections, diagnose fit and ge

# ModelRift OpenSCAD Skill Generate 3D renders, 2D outlines, and cross-section slices with the OpenSCAD command-line interface (CLI). Import exported meshes when alignment, clearance, or wall-thickness debugging must reflect the compiled output. ## Require a Development Snapshot Use an OpenSCAD `2026.x` development snapshot or newer, not the legacy `2021.01` stable build. This workflow relies on the Manifold backend, lazy union, and newer CLI behavior. Before modeling, run: ```bash openscad --version openscad --help 2>&1 | rg -- '--backend|lazy-union' ``` Require `openscad --version` to

Color Schemes (`--colorscheme`)

OpenSCAD supports multiple rendering color schemes. Use the appropriate one based on context:

Render Type (Always use Manifold full render)

* Full Render Mode (`--render --backend=Manifold`): Use the development snapshot's Manifold backend for rendered preview images and mesh exports. Ne
