      @platypii Very cool!

      The combining of design and JSCAD components is a very clean solution. Kudos!

      I especially like the ability to embed the 'assembled' model directly into GitHub CI.

      @SimonClark should be interested in the feedback as he is working on a community site for sharing designs / parts.

      Researching cnc workings better, seems like the conversion process is more involved and that DXF is a suitable format for generating CNC g-code from. DXF export from jscad is very reliable so far. thanks all for the replies

      @jess-yan threejs has this ready-made somewhere(taking mouse point and returning meshes under it),

      I will most definitely post it on the forum here when I have this feature.
      This MAY require a shift away from how jscad works now, but hopefuly can be done with current jscad setup.

      The idea I have for now is to run a AST transform to inject line number information into the script and then run the modified script. This is something I am able to do, but I have other stuff in the pipeline before this 🙂

      @hrgdavor thanks for the nice recommendation.

      here's the design, which was converted from an OpenJSCAD design.

      i'll leave the choice up to you gentlemen. 🙂

      Thanks everyone for your response, I continue to experiment and learn. Once I switched to Foxfire I can see the debug results.

      Thanks

      If you start with a simple file design.js, save it in a folder and use editor of your choice.

      open https://openjscad.xyz/ and make sure you check the option "Enable Auto-reload"
      drag and drop the file into the window and you will see the model

      change your js file and save, changes will be picked-up automatically.
      openjscad checks for changes every second, but if you want to see changes even faster you can use livereload.

      one way to use livereload is via nodejs
      if you have nodejs just run
      npm -g install livereload
      go to the folder with your design and run:
      livereload

      you must do the livereload step before you drag and drop design into openjscad window.

      @Maria-Alzate Just for your information, as part of the last release, there's a new project() function which can project a 3D shape to a 2D shape.

      @Dunk-Fordyce I really like this concept of a preconfigured project. It would be a great addition to the JSCAD project.

      Probably, there are a few different styles of projects. So, maybe a little repository of starting projects could be created.

      Interested?

      @ksanger welcome

      Correct. The 'OpenSCAD' conversion to JSCAD has been decommissioned. The code is very old and needs some extensive maintenance / enhancements.

      Your students should be able to use the new website easily; www.openjscad.xyz

      The 'syntax' to create a new design is slightly different but there's plenty of documentation.

      @Pippo-LoVe as mentioned, JSCAD focuses on designs for 3D printing, and therefore colors are essential. Colors are assigned to a geometry / shape after completing all operations.

      Colors can also be assigned to individual polygons on 3D geometries.

      Having said the above, textures may be possible. But there have not been many requests for this support.

      I love the idea of putting all the docs in markdown in the git repo itself.

      The original site could also be hosted in gh-pages branch. There are a bunch of tools to convert markdown to html, so they could be optionally embedded in the app.

      As a stopgap, for anyone needing V1 - there's a copy over at https://creator.buildbee.com
