YASim to OpenSCAD converter for visualization

Good sims require good FDMs (the "thing" that makes an aircraft behave like an aircraft).

YASim to OpenSCAD converter for visualization

Split off from the topic YASim Guide.


In case anyone's interested I put together a visualisation tool which takes a YASim file and produces an OpenSCAD file, which you can view in the OpenSCAD viewer.

It needs at least python 3.6.

Any problems, raise a ticket on gitlab, I sometimes take a long time to read private emails.

it would be great it this was patched to work within Blender or AC3D, as it means adding another otherwise not much usable program dedicated to just one application. Is it freeware or does it turn itself off after a month's use like so many 3D "free" programs?

Perfect! :) I had made a similar but, less done tool for UAV autogyro development.
