  @z3dev said in Click to item for Callback/Event functionality:

  the focus of JSCAD is still 3D printing

  Yes, that aligns with what I am doing.

  The reason that I was querying this capability is that in the above picture of a drill-tray example, made from a photo-scan, I want to put in different options for the hinge and lid made by clicking on the parts in the jscad ui.

  It's no big deal if it's not easy to achieve (as explained by @hrgdavor) in jscad at this point in time. I can resolve this some other way. I just thought it might be easy*

  Interestingly, I was able to find that there is a component that does what I need for gltf but I haven't been able to locate an Open-Source equivalent just yet. https://iconscout.com/gltf-3d-editor provides a simple click+transform+rotate component for their platform that does what I was looking for.

  @z3dev
  I have been using openscad, but i have found it very limiting. Most code is manually converted from openscad - that was suprisingly fast to do. I don't have any plans with the project, its just for fun.

  I'd like to have the ability to load and save files to Cloud storage, (or a local ftp server).

  The reason is that if I'm working on a design and go away, I can't shut the computer down. It has to go onto standby.

  After working on Microsoft Teams and 365, they force you to get used to using a Cloud. So unfortunately, the openjscad.xyz system feels a bit clunky in comparison.

  Please consider at some point adding Cloud Load/Save if there is enough user interest.

  Here's a discussion about a Javascript code snippet where something similar is implemented.

  Greetings Everyone!
  What video or website do you suggest for a total JSCAD beginner.
  Specifically, 5 middle schoolers were challenged to create ancient Egyptian artifacts using jscad.
  How do you suggest we begin?
  Thank you for any references.

  Valine Zeigler Gilbert, Thank you so much. You were so helpful that I found Tinkercad. After watching your video I realized that jscad may be the next step for those who want to dive deeper after learning the basics. Have a great day!
