 ## Recommendations
 For best results, use a version of OpenSCAD with the fast-csg feature. As of writing, this feature is only implemented in the [development snapshots](https://openscad.org/downloads.html). To enable the feature, go to Edit > Preferences > Features > fast-csg. On my computer, this sped up rendering from 10 minutes down to a couple of seconds, even for comically large bins.  
 
-## Modules  
-Run these functions inside the *Commands* section of *gridfinity-rebuilt-bins.scad*.
-
-### `gridfinityInit(gridx, gridy, height, height_internal, length)`  
-Initializes the top part of the bin (walls and solid section). All bins have to use this module, and have the compartments cut out from it. 
-
-Parameter | Range | Description
---- | ----- | ---
-`gridx` | {n>0\|n∈R} | number of bases along the x-axis  
-`gridy` | {n>0\|n∈R} | number of bases along the y-axis  
-`height` | {n>0\|n∈R} | height of the bin, in millimeters (but not exactly). See the `height()` function for more info.
-`height_internal` | {n>0\|n∈R} | height of the internal block. Can be lower than bin height to save filament on custom bins. default of 0 means use the calculated height.
-`length` | {n>0\|n∈R} | length of one unit of the base. default: 42 (The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.)
-
-```
-// Example: generate a 3x3x6 bin with a 42mm unit size
-gridfinityInit(3, 3, height(6), 0, 42) {
-	cutEqual(n_divx = 3, n_divy = 3, style_tab = 0, enable_scoop = true);
-}
-```
-
-### `height(gridz, gridz_define, enable_lip, enable_zsnap)`  
-Calculates the proper height for bins. 
-
-Parameter | Range | Description
---- | ----- | ---
-`gridz` | {n>0\|n∈R} | bin height. See bin height information and "gridz_define" below.  
-`gridz_define` | {n>0\|n∈R} | determine what the variable "gridz" applies to based on your use case. default: 0. <br>     • (0) gridz is the height of bins in units of 7mm increments - Zack's method <br>     • (1) gridz is the internal height in millimeters <br>     • (2) gridz is the overall external height of the bin in millimeters
-`enable_lip` | boolean | if you are not stacking the bin, you can disable the top lip to save space. default: true
-`enable_zsnap` | boolean | automatically snap the bin size to the nearest 7mm increment. default: true
-
-```
-// Example: height for a 6 unit high bin
-height(6);
-
-// Example: height for a bin that can fit (at maximum) a 30mm high object inside
-height(30, 1, true, false); 
-```
-
-### `gridfinityBase(gridx, gridy, length, div_base_x, div_base_y, style_hole)`  
-Generates the bases for bins. Has various different hole styles, and can be subdivided.
-
-Parameter | Range | Description
---- | ----- | ---
-`gridx` | {n>0\|n∈R} | number of bases along the x-axis  
-`gridy` | {n>0\|n∈R} | number of bases along the y-axis 
-`length` | {n>0\|n∈R} | length of one unit of the base. default: 42
-`div_base_x` | {n>=0\|n∈Z} | number of divisions per 1 unit of base along the X axis. (default 1, only use integers. 0 means automatically guess the division)
-`div_base_y` | {n>=0\|n∈Z} | number of divisions per 1 unit of base along the Y axis. (default 1, only use integers. 0 means automatically guess the division)
-`style_hole` | {0, 1, 2, 3} | the style of holes in the bases <br>     • (0) No holes <br>     • (1) Magnet holes only <br>     • (2) Magnet and screw holes - no printable slit <br>     • (3) Magnet and screw holes - with printable slit
-
-```
-// Example: generate a 3x3 base with a 42mm unit size and clean magnet holes
-gridfinityBase(3, 3, 42, 0, 0, 1);
-```
-
-### `cutEqual(n_divx, n_divy, style_tab, enable_scoop)`  
-Generates the "traditional" bin cutters. It is a utility function that creates evenly distributed compartments. 
-
-Parameter | Range | Description
---- | ----- | ---
-`n_divx` | {n>0\|n∈Z}  | number of compartments along X
-`n_divy` | {n>0\|n∈Z}  | number of compartments along Y
-`style_tab` | {0,1,2,3,4,5} | how the tabs for labels are generated. <br>     • (0) Full tabs across the entire compartment <br>     • (1) automatic tabs, meaning left aligned tabs on the left edge, right aligned tabs on right edge, center tabs otherwise <br>     • (2) left aligned tabs <br>     • (3) center aligned tabs <br>     • (4) right aligned tabs <br>     • (5) no tabs
-`enable_scoop` | boolean | toggles the scoopy bit on the bottom edge that allows easy removal of items
-
-```
-// Example: this generates 9 compartments in a 3x3 grid, and all compartments have a full tab and a scoop
-gridfinityInit(3, 3, height(6), 0, 42) {
-	cutEqual(n_divx = 3, n_divy = 3, style_tab = 0, enable_scoop = true);
-}
-```
-
-### `cut(x, y, w, h, t, s)` 
-Cuts a single compartment into the bin at the provided location with the provided attributes. The coordinate system for compartments originates (0,0) at the bottom left corner of the bin, where 1 unit is the length of 1 base. Positive X and positive Y are in the same direction as the global coordinate system.
-Parameter | Range | Description
---- | ----- | ---
-`x` | {n>=0\|n∈R} | X coordinate of the compartment (position of left edge of compartment)
-`y` | {n>=0\|n∈R} | Y coordinate of the compartment (position of bottom edge of compartment)
-`w` | {n>0\|n∈R} | Width of the compartment, in base units (1 unit = 1 `length`)
-`h` | {n>0\|n∈R} | Height of the compartment, in base units (1 unit = 1 `length`)
-`t` | {0,1,2,3,4,5} | how the tabs for labels are generated for this specfic compartment. <br>     • (0) Full tabs across the entire compartment <br>     • (1) automatic tabs, meaning left aligned tabs on the left edge, right aligned tabs on right edge, center tabs otherwise <br>     • (2) left aligned tabs <br>     • (3) center aligned tabs <br>     • (4) right aligned tabs <br>     • (5) no tabs
-`s` | boolean | toggles the scoopy bit on the bottom edge that allows easy removal of items, for this specific compartment
-
-```
-// Example:
-// this cuts two compartments that are both 1 wide and 2 high. 
-// One is on the bottom left, and the other is at the top right. 
-gridfinityInit(3, 3, height(6), 0, 42) {
-    cut(0, 0, 1, 2, 0, true);
-    cut(2, 1, 1, 2, 0, true);
-}
-```
-
-### `cut_move(x, y, w, h)` 
-Moves all of its children from the global origin to the center of the area that a compartment would normally fill, and uses them to cut from the bin. This allows you to easily make custom cutouts in the bin.
-Parameter | Range | Description
---- | ----- | ---
-`x` | {n>=0\|n∈R} | X coordinate of the area (position of left edge)
-`y` | {n>=0\|n∈R} | Y coordinate of the area (position of bottom edge)
-`w` | {n>0\|n∈R} | Width of the area, in base units (1 unit = 1 `length`)
-`h` | {n>0\|n∈R} | Height of the area, in base units (1 unit = 1 `length`)
-
-```
-// Example:
-// cuts a cylindrical hole of radius 5
-// hole center is located 1/2 units from the right edge of the bin, and 1 unit from the top
-gridfinityInit(3, 3, height(6), 0, 42) {
-    cut_move(x=2, y=1, w=1, h=2) {
-          cylinder(r=5, h=100, center=true);
-    }
-}
-```

-More complex examples of all modules can be found in the scripts.
