Synopsis: Creates a wire bundle for a given number of wires. ^[Geom]

Topics: Wiring

See Also: path_sweep(), path_sweep2d()

Usage:

• wire_bundle(path, wires, [wirediam], [rounding], [wirenum=], [corner_steps=]);

Description:

Returns a 3D object representing a bundle of wires that follow a given path, with the corners rounded to a given radius. There are 17 base wire colors. If you have more than 17 wires, colors will get re-used.

Arguments:

By Position	What it does
path	The 3D path that the wire bundle should follow.
wires	The number of wires in the wire bundle.
wirediam	The diameter of each wire in the bundle.
rounding	The radius that the path corners will be rounded to.

By Name	What it does
wirenum	The first wire's offset into the color table.
corner_steps	The corner roundings in the path will be converted into this number of segments.

Example 1:

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
include <BOSL2/wiring.scad>
wire_bundle([[50,0,-50], [50,50,-50], [0,50,-50], [0,0,-50], [0,0,0]], rounding=10, wires=13);
