@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.

@Nathan-Apter ok, I upgraded by still not working.2024-05-04-050059.png

@z3dev
Thanks!

@danmarshall Looks great.

I can't get it to work.

It just reports "Error: Cannot find module 'jscad/modelling' when I run "node jscad-now" from my home directory on linux ubuntu.

Any ideas (yes I'm a developer but not a regular Nodejs user) ?

@hrgdavor I have not tried project folder drag-and-drop into the web app. Will do.

Thanks

@jumpjack2 you can export models from openscad or jscad to .obj or .stl meshes and then it is no more question of integrating with rapier, but a question of how you import meshes to rapier.

actual integration with jscad is much more complex problem.

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

@hrgdavor and @platypii. Thank you for your contributions and for sharing the repos. The work completed here is certainly impressive. I look forward to digging into the code to learn other creative and productive ways of using the JSCAD viewer. The https://jscad.app has a fresh modern cad application feel. Especially with the addition of the orientation cube.

@Jason-Sprouse Not a problem. As you mentioned, the engine has to be taught first. How can we make that happen?

FYI, if the results are saved and made available on the web, then the design can be posted to the JSCAD website. I do this for my designs at Thingiverse.

@Jason-Sprouse Love the idea! There are lots of reasons to use AI, and most are for research or learning purposes.

You might want to start with some examples. Such as "show me how to use JSCAD circles?" Or even more complex examples.

@rozek hope that you are still using JSCAD.

there are some changes to vectorChar and vectorText, which will become part of V3 JSCAD. if you have time then please take a look.

@Richard-Rouse Welcome to the user group.

Looks like you have integrated parts of the V1 website into your custom website. It must have been a fun project.

V1 is still available, but this version is not being maintained any more. If you really need it then check out the V1 branch.

V2 is the currently available, and maintained version. This is totally different and you will have to start again. Sorry.

There's a super small viewer available in the regl-renderer directory. Please see the README for additional information.

Let us know if you have questions. There are several people who have created custom websites.

@z3dev that is exactly type of projects I want more jscad users to be able to do. It will likely be able to benefit from some of the resopnsiveness improvments I am making.

It is nice to see more users and a new enviroment. @z3dev we should think about adding a section on jscad website with links to projects like this so other users that are interested in this way of interacting with jscad can find it.

@TerryGeng there are few of jscad fans also on discord, you may share your plugin there too. https://discord.gg/AaqGskur93

@Nathan-Apter I'm interested in doing some freelance work. I'm pretty new to the project though, but planning to build up my three.js and webgl skills anyway, so might be a good match. I'm going to send you a message.

@cncandi It looks like you made a copy of the JSCAD website. That's really customize to support drag-n-drop, loading projects, URL options, etc. It's probably not what you really want.

Take a look at the websites and frameworks mentioned here.

Let us know if you have any more questions.

@Ion-0 it was great to meet up. I'm totally impressed with the amount of effort and engineering that went into the web application. Really cool stuff!

Let us know how JSCD needs to improve to assist others.

Yes, this becomes quite limiting if one has to have users download, unzip, and drag & drop. Kind of defeats the purpose of projects. Also you'd have to deal with updates.
Very cumbersome for non-tech users.
It would be nice if you could include directories or even zip files in the URL.

@hrgdavor for the moment i have create only one field and i serialize all datas of form and i check the values in the openjscad script

@jin-kim Welcome!

I don't know of anyone porting the JSCAD modeling library to Java, but it should be possible.

A few years back, someone ported V1 to C++ but I don't have the link.

And very recently, someone has ported the JSCAD modeling library to C# , and there will be an announcement shortly.
