### cut
|
|
|
|
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.

|
|
s | n>0 \| n∈R | controls the fillet on the bottom of the compartment for easy <br> item removal. 0 is disabled, 1 is full, any other real number will <br> scale from full, only 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_move
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
** `cut_move (x, y, w, h)` **
|
|
|
|
Parameter | Range | Description

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) {
