SimpleWorkplane

SimpleWorkplane is a context manager for modeling in a temporary local coordinate frame.

Public constructor

SimpleWorkplane(origin=(0, 0, 0), normal=(0, 0, 1))

Main capabilities

• Push a local coordinate frame for nested modeling operations.
• Automatically restore the previous frame when the context exits.
• Keep the public API shape-first: functions still return Vertex, Edge, Wire, Face, and Solid objects.

Example

import simplecadapi as scad

with scad.SimpleWorkplane((0, 0, 10), normal=(0, 0, 1)):
    box = scad.make_box_rsolid(2, 2, 2)

print(box.get_volume())
