@Honest-Guvnor It is fine to ask both here and on discord.

@z3dev @jess-yan yup. it is not implemented right now. But such feature has a lot more to consider to be implemented.

It may be beneficial to start a discussion on git to see what would be expectation of such functionality and what it would take to implement it.

@z3dev Happy to hear it!

@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 🙂

@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.

@z3dev I see that it has the function of dragging and dropping stl loading

@mark-hahn super thanks!

There’s still a little wizardry going on here. But I’ll try this with VSCODE, and then ask a few more questions.

I changed my obj importer code to make it work with obj without groups. Now I can start to colorize my models by code. And there's one nice thing about that : I can use that faces coloring to store a volume's unfold pattern.

@david-bolt one suggestion from what i've tried could be to set the camera position for regular perspective camera further away as an orthographic camera is just a perspective camera at infinity

@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.

@hrgdavor Thanks, done:

@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.

@hpb-htw Super! You understand well.

Each package will have a slightly different version, as Lerna determines major/minor/fix versions by changes. The main package is never released so, the version stays the same, but should be 3.0.0.

Please take another look at utils/regl-renderer package. The demo html files are slightly different in V3.

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

@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 something like this

@viktor-hedefalk said in Vanilla js/npm in browser?:

Or does it resolve those at upload time? Gonna test that…

No, it can't do that? That would be the worst security thing ever on a browser to allow…

Just watched the tutorial series to the end of part 4 - and the cliffhanger for part 5:

"In the next part we will get to how you can split up your design into multiple files…" 🙂

@tektio V2 JSCAD is very different then V1 JSCAD.

The old examples are no longer usable with V2 JSCAD.

Probably the best way to enabled two viewers would be through the use of the VUE components, but you'll have to write some HTML / JavaScript.

thanks @z3dev. I made some bad assumptions about what docs were relevant 🙂

@irevdev welcome!

the README files for the packages will provide some information on installation and initial use. See packages/cli, packages/web, packages/desktop

the currently available application (www.openjscad.org) is on the master branch. and there is major development on V2 branch.

we are asking for people to become 'early adopters' if interested in V2. there's been some good progress lately with the creation of the initial v2 packages. more to come in the next few weeks.

@z3dev There's one thing that still makes me use obj from my obj2jscad.js. It is that the deserialized obj loses the polygon vertices list and it needs to be rebuild from the geometries, unless I didn'k look at the right place. But as 99 % of the time the user won't use those data, I understand that the deserializer don't keep track of them.
