1D Primitives

edge

Create a 1D edge (line segment) with a given length. Edges are the simplest primitive in PythonSCAD and can be extruded to create 2D shapes, or used to inspect edge geometry.

Syntax:

Python

edge(size=1, center=False)

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`size`	float	`1`	Length of the edge (must be positive)
`center`	bool	`False`	Center the edge on the origin

Examples:

Python

from openscad import *

e = edge(size=10, center=True)

# Extrude an edge to create a square
sq = linear_extrude(e, height=10)
sq.show()

# Get back the edges of a shape as a Python list
all_edges = sq.edges()
