@William-Adams that is very nice indeed ! Jscad is just a shorter name and less of a mouthful, either is fine @benkei it does indeed work like that, the parameter definitions are parsed by the internals of jscad to be displayed in the UI

There was only a very small difference ... diff main.jscad /Users/wf/source/scad/testinclude/main.jscad 6c6 < return myLib().b(2); --- > return myLib.b(2); I 'v fixed the dockerized github repo and will try to fix the wiki now, too. Thanks for all the help finally I am going to work on my own designs now ...

@wolfgangfahl To make it work without having to move examples folder, you can run it from your local webserver. I did so from my local apache http server

*Project ID: M0302 OpenJSCAD.org Thank you for applying for Maker Faire Tokyo 2019. We are glad to notice that your exhibit is accepted. We are looking forward to meeting you in Tokyo!* So, it’s now official! Let me know if anyone wants to attend.

@kaosat-dev At first I tried to use a 10K triangles model but as it didn't render I downscaled to 5K, 3K, 2K then 1K. And after, I made another model with 2x more slices that this script was unable to render even with a 1K model, so I changed the script to make it render chunks of slices, and it was ok. I suppose it could work with higher resolutions models.

@gilboonet thanks for the links... When I find some free time, I will definitely dig into it. Currently, I have too many projects in parallel, to add another fascinating one

Roger Clark Thanks Eduard for the link to the voronoi sphere I've been looking at stuff like http://toxiclibs.org/2011/12/metworks-workshop-facade/ and also Radiolarians e.g. http://i.materialise.com/gallery/radiolarian-lamp which can be generated proceduarlly

OK. I archived what I could down load using the crappy tools from Google. I’m pretty peaved at the results. Obviously, Google thinks that a bunch of monkeys can write software to download web content. SIGH

@imkael désolé pour la réponse très tardive ! la version expérimentale avec gestion de modules est ici: https://jscad.xyz/playground.html si j'ai bien compris, oui ça devrait être possible il faudra juste bien exporter les bonnes variables dans chaque module: drilling.jscad const listdrill = function listdrill(type) { var toreturn = []; if (type == ' countersunk'){ toreturn=[ [1.6,3.73,1], [2,4.78,1.1], [3,6.82,1.4], ... ]; if( type =='hexagonal'){ toreturn = [...... ]; return toreturn; } // IMPORTANT !! module.exports = listdrill index.jscad const listdrill = require('..path/to/drilling.jscad') function getParameterDefinitions{ const listdrillPerType = listdrill(type); const foruser = '{name:'drillDiameter', initial: '3', type:'choice', caption: 'diameter', values: ['; for(i=0;i<listdrillPerType.length;i++) { foruser= foruser+'''+listdrillPerType[i][0]+'',';} ... return[ foruser, ]; } function main (params) { } module.exports = { getParameterDefinitions, main }

@torejorg that is a very good point that we did not consider like that, but perhaps instead of having it as a parameter for cylinders we could (emphasis on "could") have a 'skew' operation (like translate & co), or even just leverage the transform (transformation by a 4x4 matrix) to achieve a similar result ? I am not aware of how limiting/acceptable that would be to be honest

My code (obj2jscad) only reads a very simple OBJ file (only triangular without normals or textures) and take use of its facets materials groups. Materials are described into another file that I don't use but it could be done to read colors as materials simplest expression can be colors. True OBJ format is much more complex than that.

This new star primitive looks promising. Thank you for the code sample, I will try to use .fromAngleRadians().

Thank you kaosat-dev for looking into this. I added the issue: https://github.com/jscad/OpenJSCAD.org/issues/438 to more clearly show what the problem is. Locally I can work with the drag&drop solution or with the workspace-mounting approach of the dockerized OpenJSCAD at https://github.com/BITPlan/docker-openjscad

It seems to me that the ‘Code’ tab in the upper right exposes the code in BlocksCAD. I was able to select and copy the code.

It would be really cool to have further cooperation with BlocksCAD. That interface is really interesting, and easy to use. I know that several versions of CSG library have been integrated, so further cooperation should be possible. However, it seems BlocksCAD has not been revised since 2017. It seems that ‘yoderdan’ has not made any changes lately, so his input would be required.

Of course, you can use the STL design to subtract from another design. Is that not accurate enough for your needs? Measuring from point to point, or across a design isn’t possible. But you can always take a small slice of a design, and measure that using bounds.

I just found that there is an issue on the repository about this concern : https://github.com/jscad/OpenJSCAD.org/issues/438. For the moment I simply copy-paste the content of the library into the script to make it work.
