  @rubydesign super big welcome! i've had thoughts about a special 'vase' website for many years. it seems very natural to use JSCAD to create all kinds of vases. i think that others have created vases of certain kinds as well. here's a few of my thoughts... allow the user to create and adjust the outline of the vase allow the user to twist a shape as well allow the user to specify the internal shape as well allow the user to add pre-configured sections to the vase as well, e.g. wine glass stem

  @jarshvor another way to look at this is the return types... pcb() returns an object (1) holes1() returns an array of objects (2) holes2() returns an array of objects (4) V1 OpenJSCAD.org requires main() to return an ARRAY of objects or a single object. (FYI, V2 automatically flattens everything into an array.) @gilboonet is correct in the example provided. By using '...holes1()' syntax, an array is constructed from [ pcb(), holes1[0], holes1[1] ] Hang in there. You'll get it soon.

  @gilboonet It works. I needed to specify ... while pushing content into the return variable. I still need to stop the animation so my video capture will perfectly loop. And there's something that I didn't manage to do, it's creating a new project, for the moment I'm changing demo-web.js, otherwise there is an error (cannot find myAnim.js when I try to run npù run myAnim.js)

  I guess my other question about a progress bar in the viewer is either not possible, or too fiddly to be practicable? This hasn't been requested before but some kind of progress indication should be possible. Can you create a new issue for this?

  @BarbourSmith a very good question. In V2, the best approach is to make a project folder. And then organize the parts as desired, including sub-directories. project/ - index.js // this file is the entry point, and exports main - tube.js - subassembly/ - index.js By the way, if the project works with the CLI, then the same project should work with the WEB UI as well.

  there is also a nice effort from one of the users. https://github.com/jscad/OpenJSCAD.org/issues/666 it is a self hosted example. Maybe that is the direction you want ?

  @zorglups there's a bug in the V1 proxy script, remote.pl, and this prevents files to be loaded properly if the file (URL) does not have a proper extention. a fix has been made, and the V2 website is running the fixed version of remote.pl but you need to provide a URL which accesses a V2 design, such as... https://www.jscad.xyz?uri=https://www.thingiverse.com/download:8705160 OR https://www.jscad.xyz#https://www.thingiverse.com/download:8705160

  @BarbourSmith I saw your post but didn't reply as I wasn't sure it was about. I already tried on V2 the function that splits a solid into pieces as it is something that i use a lot : https://jscad.xyz/#https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gilboonet/gilboonet.github.io/master/demos/gig2i.js The function is scission3d() and the source is here : https://github.com/gilboonet/gilboonet.github.io/blob/master/demos/gig2i.js

  @z3dev Thanks for the comments. I do think a catalogue in the website would definitely increase popularity of JSCAD. This will attract people who never got interested in JSCAD --- those who don't know how to code and can't use any CAD software. Sadly, most of them might be only end users and cannot directly help the development of the JSCAD project. As far as I know, the people in this community are all fully capable of both programming and 3D modelling. Maybe there can be a mechanism which can discover what those "end users" need most, and help the develop team to build accurate designs for those users.

  @z3dev thank you. For now I would only like create a viewer element within an angular application. Is there a release of v2 on the public npm registry? I've had a look but can't seem to find it. If not, please could you point me to instructions on how to build it? I'd like to host it on my private registry for the rest of the work I intend to do.

  @Cid-Zhang Thanks! And, welcome! Your models look very cool. I'm sure that others will enjoy creating various hinged shapes as well. Please let us know if you need some assistance with JSCAD. There are lots of very experienced users in the group.
