# BOSL2
|
|
|
|
|
|
**The Belfry OpenScad Library, v2**
|
|
|
|
A library for OpenSCAD, filled with useful tools, shapes, masks, math and manipulators, designed to make OpenSCAD easier to use.
|
|
|
|
Requires OpenSCAD 2021.01 or later.
|
|
|
|
- **NOTE:** BOSL2 IS BETA CODE. THE CODE IS STILL BEING REORGANIZED.
|
|
- **NOTE2:** CODE WRITTEN FOR BOSLv1 PROBABLY WON'T WORK WITH BOSL2!

## Documentation
|
|
|
|
You can find the full BOSL2 library documentation at: https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2/wiki
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Download the .zip or .tar.gz release file for this library. Currently you should be able to find this at https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
|
|
2. Unpack it. Make sure that you unpack the whole file structure. Some zipfile unpackers call this option "Use folder names". It should create either a `BOSL-v2.0` or `BOSL2-master` directory with the library files within it. You should see "examples", "scripts", "tests", and other subdirectories.
|
|
3. Rename the unpacked main directory to `BOSL2`.
|
|
4. Move the `BOSL2` directory into the apropriate OpenSCAD library directory for your platform:
|
|
- Windows: `My Documents\OpenSCAD\libraries\`
|
|
- Linux: `$HOME/.local/share/OpenSCAD/libraries/`
|
|
- Mac OS X: `$HOME/Documents/OpenSCAD/libraries/`
|
|
5. Restart OpenSCAD.

## Examples
|
|
A lot of the features of this library are to allow shorter, easier-to-read, intent-based coding. For example:
