                Please write an AIDL program to generate a clock

Sure, let's create a simple clock model using AIDL. A clock typically consists of a circle representing the clock face, and lines or marks to indicate the hours, and possibly the minutes, as well as holes for the hour and minute hands.

Here's a step-by-step plan for modeling a clock:

1. **Structure Hierarchy**:
    - Main `Solid` structure for the clock face.
    - A nested `Drawing` structure for the hour and minute marks.
    - Optionally, a `Hole` structure might be used for the clock mechanism.

2. **Constraints**:
    - The clock face is a circle.
    - Hour marks are placed at 30-degree intervals around the circle.
    - Minute marks are shorter and placed at 6-degree intervals around the circle.

3. **Geometry**:
    - A circle for the clock face.
    - Lines for the hour and minute marks.
    - A circle for the hole in the center (for the clock hands).

Let's implement it in AIDL:

```python
from AIDL import *

def clock(face_radius: float = 3*inches, center_hole_radius: float = 0.1*inch):
    """
    Creates a simple clock face with hour and minute marks.
    """

    clock = Solid()
    
    # Clock face as a large circle
    clock.face = Circle((0,0), face_radius)
    
    # Hole for the clock mechanism in the center
    clock.center_hole = Hole()
    clock.center_hole.at_center = Circle((0,0), center_hole_radius)
    
    # Drawings for the hour and minute marks
    marks = Drawing()
    hour_marks = Drawing()
    minute_marks = Drawing()
    marks.hour_marks = hour_marks
    marks.minute_marks = minute_marks
    clock.marks = marks

    # Adding hour marks (12 lines, 30 degrees apart)
    hour_marks.marks = []
    for i in range(12):
        angle = radians(i * 30)  # 30 degrees in radians
        start_point = (face_radius - 0.5*inch) * cos(angle), (face_radius - 0.5*inch) * sin(angle)
        end_point = face_radius * cos(angle), face_radius * sin(angle)
        hour_marks.marks.append(Line(start_point, end_point))

    # Adding minute marks (60 lines, 6 degrees apart)
    minute_marks.marks = []
    for i in range(60):
        if i % 5 == 0:  # Skip hour marks
            continue
        angle = radians(i * 6)  # 6 degrees in radians
        start_point = (face_radius - 0.25*inch) * cos(angle), (face_radius - 0.25*inch) * sin(angle)
        end_point = face_radius * cos(angle), face_radius * sin(angle)
        minute_marks.marks.append(Line(start_point, end_point))

    # Render and return the clock structure
    return clock

with AIDL_2D:
    model = clock()
print(model.Solve())
model.Render()
```

Explanation of the program:
- The `clock` function creates the clock face with a default radius of 3 inches and a central hole of 0.1 inches.
- The main `Solid` structure (`clock`) contains the clock face as a `Circle` and the central hole as a `Hole` with a circle inside (`center_hole`).
- The `Drawing` structure `marks` contains nested `Drawing` structures for the hour marks and minute marks.
- Hour marks are added every 30 degrees and minute marks every 6 degrees, except when they coincide with hour marks.

This should generate a simple clock face ready for laser cutting, with hour and minute marks accurately placed around the face. Let me know if you'd like to adjust anything!
