Snippets

Snippets are chunks of code that can be inserted into your script. They are presented in a dropdown folder browser with tooltip help describing the function of each snippet.

Snippet Example

This example shows how to use a Code Snippet to create a simple gear.

The model already contains a cylindrical shaft, which could also be constructed using a script.

Open the Constructing Geometry folder and select the gear Snippet.

The Snippet code loads into the Script Editor window.

Click the Run Script button to build the gear.
