As well as, can you post the design to the Discord channel? There are always interested people there.

@her01n This is really cool! Amazing!

There's a lot of hard work as well as skill in creating those designs! Superb!

Can you add some context why you decided to use JSCAD? How many hours did you devote? Do you have future plans?

An application also has shortfalls. There's the problem of documentation as well as upgrades. Applications usually include a huge and often critic user manual. And applications will only receive the latest patches if the user notices and applies the fix. This is why the website is so appealing... it's easy.

@hrgdavor the focus of JSCAD is still 3D printing, but there have already been lots of innovative projects built. So, the only feedback that I can provide is... there has to be at least one UI that allows simple designs to be created via JS scripts (This includes the CLI as well.)

If someone wants to build a fully interactive CAD application, then they have to build and maintain. I'm sure that this kind of application can be created.

@DavidLyon66 The design is assembled via a call to main(), which can accept a single dictionary of parameters (This is what happens for the parameters). The interactive parameters are converted to a dictionary.

This is a way too cool project to create JSCAD designs in VSCODE. But there's also a nice like webserver for those that want to use another external editor.

An NPX starter template designed to kickstart your JsCad projects using TypeScript and Hot Reload preview. This tool simplifies the process of setting up a JsCad project, allowing you to focus on creating fully parametric CAD drawings with ease.
