@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.

@gilboonet vool 🙂 . Nice to see it working

@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 hmm...

The website doesn't have a backend service/process. Everything is handled by the browser, including loading designs.

The only trick is for designs provided an a URL parameter. In this case, the URL is posted to a little script that reads the contents, stores the file locally, and returns the URL to the local file.

Of course, some other backend service could be added.

@kaosat-dev thanks for your reply i haven't test it yet (I just saw it today). i will tell you if it's works for me. Best regards

Nevermind, I fixed everything simply by using triangles instead of polygons.

@z3dev said in Additions for consideration...:

@simonclark cool.

FYI, there's a bezier function as part of path2 geometry which is based on the SVG algorithm. See src/geometry/path2/appendBezier()

Thanks! I'm taking a look at this, and try to make sure the interfaces are similar.

My goal was to create something that I could use as an easing function in scaling, rotating, etc. I've also updated the algorithm to support n'th dimensions, and n'th order polynomials (control points).

@z3dev Just I did!

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?

@z3dev yeah, I went 'custom' way before I found JSCAD, I began by exposing VerbNurbs library first and implemented BabylonJS rendering 🙂 but JSCAD adds so much to the project that I'm super enthusiastic about it. Vue part sounds very interesting. While I'm not very familiar with Vue, I suppose by reactive you mean Rxjs kind of reactive? Will have to analyse your project in more detail, thanks!

@z3dev yes, examples I mentionned come from "vue-components" project

V1 color syntax is color("Red", extrudes[0])

I have had similar thoughts about getting a drawing tool like this into jscad, I believe it could not only be useful for extruding simple shapes, but also, if constraints are possible, for the layout of all sorts of things.

This project looks interesting https://github.com/IjzerenHein/kiwi.js .. though I admit I dont quite understand how you would get anything complicated into the calculations.

We have been posting to this thread.

You can find some really interesting projects by following the Used By links on the right side of the Github project.

@z3dev Apparently the temporary v2 website doesn't handle links like those of examples, it may be easier to wait for the original website to be online.

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.

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

Thanks

@jess-yan Hello, the point selection is made with an external tool, Openscad Simple Polygon Editor. I modified it so that I could use it along with OpenJSCAD. But it was with a very old version and with v2 I don't see how to do the same.

@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. 🙂
