I'm trying to import a David Smith's tiling background image in openSCAD, but it fails miserably and I have no idea about why it fails.

Here is what I did:

    resize([200, 100, 10]) 
        linear_extrude(10)
            import("C:/Users/phil/Downloads/David Smith Single Tile.svg");

and... Nothing happens.

Then, I tried to render instead of preview, and I got in the log the following notice:

"WARNING: No top level geometry to render"

I have no idea of the specificities of SVG files nor what could happen or how to address this problem. Please help...

$\begingroup$ How does this relate to 3D printing? $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Of course, @Velvet : When you save a file, you can change this name $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ What do you think I will be doing with this tile, @Agarza ? But you are right : I forgot that last time I asked an openSCAD question, I asked it on Stackoverflow and not here $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ FWIW, I managed to import this SVG into Fusion, so the model seems to be fine: i.sstatic.net/6H09ySpB.png. But you have to take note that the tile was imported far from the origin (i.sstatic.net/VgC4jnth.png). Maybe that could be the issue... (e.g. restricted drawing environment?) $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Even though it might seem obvious, as previously requested, please edit and specify that you will be printing the file - then it can be voted to be left open (it is one vote away from being closed). Also, please keep all additional info in the question, rather than in the comments. Thanks. $\endgroup$
