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.

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.

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

@z3dev said in Click to item for Callback/Event functionality:

the focus of JSCAD is still 3D printing

Yes, that aligns with what I am doing.

The reason that I was querying this capability is that in the above picture of a drill-tray example, made from a photo-scan, I want to put in different options for the hinge and lid made by clicking on the parts in the jscad ui.

It's no big deal if it's not easy to achieve (as explained by @hrgdavor) in jscad at this point in time. I can resolve this some other way. I just thought it might be easy*

Interestingly, I was able to find that there is a component that does what I need for gltf but I haven't been able to locate an Open-Source equivalent just yet. https://iconscout.com/gltf-3d-editor provides a simple click+transform+rotate component for their platform that does what I was looking for.

This is a way too cool project to create JSCAD designs in VSCODE. But there's also a nice like webserver for those that want to use another external editor.

@Nathan-Apter ok, I upgraded by still not working.2024-05-04-050059.png

@z3dev
Thanks!

@Shunder0
i do not understand even slightest what you are asking here 🙂

@danmarshall Looks great.

I can't get it to work.

It just reports "Error: Cannot find module 'jscad/modelling' when I run "node jscad-now" from my home directory on linux ubuntu.

Any ideas (yes I'm a developer but not a regular Nodejs user) ?

@LucaNitti Welcome!

There are a couple of ways to use DXF files. You can convert the DXF to another format, like SVG. Or you can import the DXF, and use the shapes to create different designs.

You can convert using the JSCAD CLI command.

If you want to use the shapes from the DXF file in designs then a project is required.

@hrgdavor Thanks, done:

@hrgdavor Thanks:

@hrgdavor I have not tried project folder drag-and-drop into the web app. Will do.

Thanks

@jumpjack2 you can export models from openscad or jscad to .obj or .stl meshes and then it is no more question of integrating with rapier, but a question of how you import meshes to rapier.

actual integration with jscad is much more complex problem.

@cdub I had overlooked the 'relativeTo' parameter of the rotate function. It makes sense now.

@hrgdavor and @platypii. Thank you for your contributions and for sharing the repos. The work completed here is certainly impressive. I look forward to digging into the code to learn other creative and productive ways of using the JSCAD viewer. The https://jscad.app has a fresh modern cad application feel. Especially with the addition of the orientation cube.

@Andreas-Plesch jscad.app is just a new prototype, not yet part of official jscad, I did not implement /remote ... it is meant for fetching remote scripts you can report issues on jscadui git or ask on discord.
