// Function: cubetruss_dist()
// Synopsis: Returns the length of a cubetruss truss.
// Topics: Trusses, CubeTruss, FDM Optimized, Parts
// See Also: cubetruss_segment(), cubetruss_support(), cubetruss(), cubetruss_corner()
// Usage:
// length = cubetruss_dist(cubes, [gaps], [size=], [strut=]);
// Description:
// Function to calculate the length of a cubetruss truss.
// Arguments:
// cubes = The number of cubes along the truss's length.
// gaps = The number of extra strut widths to add in, corresponding to each time a truss butts up against another.
// size = The length of each side of the cubetruss cubes. Default: `$cubetruss_size` (usually 30)
// strut = The width of the struts on the cubetruss cubes. Default: `$cubetruss_strut_size` (usually 3)
