gcodepreview

Interesting. I've long been frustrated by traditional CAD/CAM, so finally worked up: https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview which allows me to use: http://pythonscad.org/ and: https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor to create joinery: https://forum.makerforums.info/t/openscad-and-python-looking... which would otherwise be tedious to draw up: https://community.carbide3d.com/t/creating-drawers/19475/26

The problem here is that a fundamental question has not been answered, and as far as I can tell, has not been addressed by any of these visual environments: What does an algorithm look like? Herman Hesse alluded to this in his novel _The Glass Bead Game_, but despite decades of discussion and work, no one has made a convincing pysical representation of that system. I love the concept, and have made some moderately complex attempts, e.g.,: https://www.blockscad3d.com/community/projects/1430644 https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview it always devolves to screen size being out-paced by problem complexity --- one gets something of an inkling of this at: https://scriptsofanotherdimension.tumblr.com/ Alternately, one can just break a project down into modules, but then the top-level view becomes the wall of text representation (albeit w/ nic

Would writing out text files be an option? I've been trying to do this from OpenSCAD (now using RapCAD) and while I sort of have it working: https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview I'm not so far along that I wouldn't try something else.
