  @hpb-htw Super! You understand well.

  Each package will have a slightly different version, as Lerna determines major/minor/fix versions by changes. The main package is never released so, the version stays the same, but should be 3.0.0.

  Please take another look at utils/regl-renderer package. The demo html files are slightly different in V3.

  @sopatt Thanks for the feedback.

  FYI, Most computations are based upon the glMatrix library (glmatrix.net)

  I will double check but this is probably the same functionality as glmatrix.

  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!
