@z3dev Thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for. I didn't look in there because I am working in the browser so I didn't check the CLI example

@Alasdair-McAndrew Hopefully someone will provide the code, but oblique cylinders can easily be created using extrudeLinear().

Nice - thank you! Should this be listed in the various shortcuts under the settings menu?

Thanks! I'll give it a comment of support there

@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.

@z3dev Got it! I'll try to update the engine with this: https://github.com/jscad/OpenJSCAD.org/tree/master/packages/web

@hrgdavor don't panic. i understand just fine. but i wanted to make sure that everything has been tried before making changes. also, i'm not certain why 'exact' mouse position is important. i'm just fine working with V2, and don't find the inertia to be troublesome. so, maybe this would be a user preference. no?

There is a nice V2 example from one of the openjscad users here: https://github.com/sdaau/openjscad_example_selfhost_spa_webpage maybe this is something you can use ?

@Alasdair-McAndrew sure. check out the recent post by @crysislinux i haven't seen anyone embed V2 into a web page yet, but that will happen soon.

awesome! one less thing i need to do this week

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?

@BarbourSmith a very good question. In V2, the best approach is to make a project folder. And then organize the parts as desired, including sub-directories. project/ - index.js // this file is the entry point, and exports main - tube.js - subassembly/ - index.js By the way, if the project works with the CLI, then the same project should work with the WEB UI as well.

Very exciting! I can't wait to give the latest a try.

there is also a nice effort from one of the users. https://github.com/jscad/OpenJSCAD.org/issues/666 it is a self hosted example. Maybe that is the direction you want ?

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 the svg is here : https://github.com/gilboonet/gilboonet.github.io/blob/master/demos/demi_l.svg What I'm trying to do is a composite volume made of half a revolution of extrudeRotate then extrudeLinear with the same shape. I was able to have both extrusion method return a volume, but they don't coincide.

@z3dev An option to show/hide slider value would be great. Long ago I made some tweaks to parameters that looked like that, but now jscad architecture is too complex for me to make such changes. On the bottom of the screenshot you can see file browser to import/export parameters that I also added and was of great help to make complex models.

@zorglups there's a bug in the V1 proxy script, remote.pl, and this prevents files to be loaded properly if the file (URL) does not have a proper extention. a fix has been made, and the V2 website is running the fixed version of remote.pl but you need to provide a URL which accesses a V2 design, such as... https://www.jscad.xyz?uri=https://www.thingiverse.com/download:8705160 OR https://www.jscad.xyz#https://www.thingiverse.com/download:8705160

That's great to be able to use the WEB UI, especially with loading of remote URL ! (Seems that the link to www.jscad.xyz points to this discussion)

@BarbourSmith I saw your post but didn't reply as I wasn't sure it was about. I already tried on V2 the function that splits a solid into pieces as it is something that i use a lot : https://jscad.xyz/#https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gilboonet/gilboonet.github.io/master/demos/gig2i.js The function is scission3d() and the source is here : https://github.com/gilboonet/gilboonet.github.io/blob/master/demos/gig2i.js
