api

var column = require('column-mesh')

var mesh = column(opts)

Return a mesh with vertex mesh.positions and mesh.cells triangle faces.

• opts.radius - default: 2
• opts.height - default: 10
• opts.flutes - number of carved vertical sections, default: 24
• opts.fluteRadius - default: 0.5
• opts.fluteDistance - default: 0.6
• opts.capitalLength - size of the top block, default: radius*sqrt(2.3)
• opts.capitalHeight - height of the top block, default: 0.5
• opts.baseLength - size of the bottom block, default: radius*sqrt(2.3)
• opts.baseHeight - height of the bottom block, default: 0.5
