It is nice to see more users and a new enviroment. @z3dev we should think about adding a section on jscad website with links to projects like this so other users that are interested in this way of interacting with jscad can find it.

@TerryGeng there are few of jscad fans also on discord, you may share your plugin there too. https://discord.gg/AaqGskur93

@z3dev
Thanks!

@Zachary-Keim good to hear. Guess it was a temporary issue 🙂

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.

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

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().

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.

Thank you. I will try something similar, it just needs to add a parameter to choose a design number, if the table of random values doesn't have values for this number they are randomly feeded, else they are used for the rendering. Such "mechanism" could be handy for designs using both random values and more than one viewing mode.

@z3dev thanks for your answer, i will check that. Any idea of the release date of the V2?
Thanks again.
Best regards

@geobruce 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.

@gilboonet
thank you for that.
after a few mis-steps and with the guidance of editor prompts, i came up with this which seems to work for the sphere with a sound hole.
i'm tickled pink because i had wanted to provide form fields for the parameters also, but due to my newbieness, thought it would be additional html/javascripting.

function
main(params) {

var sr = params.sphereradius; var sh = params.soundhole; var wt = params.wallthickness; var fn = params.fragmentnumber; return [ difference(sphere({r:sr+wt, center:true, fn:fn}), sphere({r:sr, center:true, fn:fn}), cylinder ({r:sh, h:-(sr+wt)})) ];

}

function getParameterDefinitions() {
return [
{ name: 'sphereradius', type: 'number', initial: 47, caption: 'Sphere Radius' },
{ name: 'soundhole', type: 'number', initial: 15, caption: 'Sound Hole Radius' },
{ name: 'wallthickness', type: 'number', initial: 2, caption: 'Wall Thickness' },
{ name: 'fragmentnumber', type: 'number', initial: 100, caption: 'Fragment Number' },
];
}

Thank you. I only work with triangulated models for coding simplicity, even if later (for designs clarity) I usually remove walls between co-planar neighbours. I will certainly soon start to make V2 versions of my code, was only missing this, but for the moment I'm making a vanilla JS pattern editor.

Awesome! Thank you!

@BarbourSmith Thanks.

I noticed that as well. For now, you'll have to manually switch the version to 'alpha'.

Thank you so much!

Honestly looking at it now I don't see how I didn't understand how it worked. Union takes an array of solids so that would make the most sense. Thanks!

@z3dev I could easily adapt to any solution allowing to feed a list parameter with files, it will be far a better UI practice than my current one that requires the user to type the file name. Or maybe the ability for a text parameter to receive a file from a drag-drop operation.
