@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.

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

@jess-yan another good question!

there's an issue with the internal logic of the WEB UI that prevents the 'script' to be shown. it's not that easy to fix either.

you can use the CLI (command line) application to convert the DXF file to a script.

you can find instructions on how to use the CLI in the README file at...

@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. 🙂

@jess-yan Super! Please let us know when a working website is available. There are many of us that want to extend JSCAD in various ways.

@z3dev hope you are well and refreshed, and ready to smash some PR's ... also a reminder that CadHub is waiting for your feedback to continue formally with jscad integration.

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

Thanks
Ken

@kenianbei sad to see you leave. I do have pieces of code that convert jscad output to threejs meshes and it is now working wihout hacks in cadhub and integrated into react-three fiber

@Robert-Olson small update:

managed to add reload functionality into :
http://3d.hrg.hr/jscad/three/threejscad.html

just drop a script on to the screen, edit in your fav editor and see results.

tested only in chrome, to se errors use browsers console F12

it is a rough prototype with ton of scrappy code, but works relatively ok.
modeling is in main thread, so if you create an infinite loop, you will have to kill the tab.

nevertheless if you do start using it, let me know how it works for you , or if it breaks

@Nathan-Apter welcome

Please try www.openjscad.xyz

The examples can be found by clicking on the ? In the top right corner.

Keep those questions coming!

@z3dev Thanks a lot, it is always helpful to understand the reason of specific behaviors. My design has one path for the outline that will be cut, and lines for the folds. To remove the black fill I can try to turn the path to a polygon.

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.

@z3dev Thanks, I will change to subtract(a, a, b)

@Maria-Alzate 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.
