I usually use fusion/ on shape. I had no idea openscad could do something like this and I'm wondering if that's my route.
openscad is a wonderful tool if you hate using your mouse. if you prefer scripting your way to victory, it is an amazing tool.
mouse is only used to move/zoom/tilt camera, everything else is keyboard
