## FAQ
### I get a bunch of warnings on not being able to include files when I open them in OpenSCAD, what do I do?
OpenSCAD pathing is relative to the current working directory by default, which is probably not the `src/` directory.
When you start OpenSCAD, you must either start it from inside the project's `src/` directory, or point it at the path to
the source files via e.g. `OPENSCADPATH=path/to/buildable-stick-system/src/` openscad`.
See https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Include_Statement.
## Miscellany
See the `/docs/` directory for more thoughts too scattered for this document.
