//! Bill Of Materials generation via echo and the `bom.py` script. Also handles exploded assembly views and posing.
//! Assembly instructions can precede the module definition that makes the assembly.
//!
//! Assembly views shown in the instructions can be large or small and this is deduced by looking at the size of the printed parts involved and if any routed
//! parts are used.
//! This heuristic isn't always correct, so the default can be overridden by setting the `big` parameter of `assembly` to `true` or `false`.
//!
//! Setting the `ngb` parameter of `assembly` to `true` removes its column from the global BOM and merges it parts into its parent assembly column of the global BOM.
//! This is to prevent the global BOM page becoming too wide in large projects by having it include just the major assemblies.
//!
//! The example below shows how to define a vitamin and incorporate it into an assembly with sub-assemblies and make an exploded view.
//! The resulting flat BOM is shown but heirachical BOMs are also generated for real projects.
//!
//! If the code to make an STL or DXF is made a child of the `stl()` or `dxf()` module then the STL or DXF will be used in the assembly views generated by `views.py` instead of generating
//! it with code.
//! This can speed up the generation of the build instructions greatly but isn't compatible with STLs that include support structures.
//!
//! The `pose()` module allows assembly views in the readme to be posed differently to the default view in the GUI:
//!
//! * Setting the `exploded` parameter to `true` allows just the exploded version to be posed and setting to `false` allows just the assembled view to be posed, the default is both.
//! * If the `d` parameter is set to specify the camera distance then the normal `viewall` and `autocenter` options are suppressed allowing a small section to be zoomed in to fill the view.
//! * To get the parameter values make the GUI window square, pose the view with the mouse and then copy the viewport parameters from the Edit menu and paste them into the pose invocation.
//! * Two `pose()` modules can be chained to allow different poses for exploded and assembled views.
