  @Andreas-Plesch jscad.app is just a new prototype, not yet part of official jscad, I did not implement /remote ... it is meant for fetching remote scripts you can report issues on jscadui git or ask on discord.

  @cdub I had overlooked the 'relativeTo' parameter of the rotate function. It makes sense now.

  @Jason-Sprouse hmm...

  The website doesn't have a backend service/process. Everything is handled by the browser, including loading designs.

  The only trick is for designs provided an a URL parameter. In this case, the URL is posted to a little script that reads the contents, stores the file locally, and returns the URL to the local file.

  Of course, some other backend service could be added.

  @gilboonet that is excellent, it may be possible later on to integrate that one with jscad or at least take your experience for ideas how to improve 2D use-cases in jscad.

  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!
