@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.

@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.

@Alasdair-McAndrew 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.

@Dunk-Fordyce I really like this concept of a preconfigured project. It would be a great addition to the JSCAD project.

Probably, there are a few different styles of projects. So, maybe a little repository of starting projects could be created.

Interested?

@gilboonet excellent!

You are the super user!

@hrgdavor yes, the method I used was what was available but any other could replace it. The purpose is to get data from the embedded jscad script and create a pdf file from it that can then be downloaded or directly viewed into the browser.

@z3dev That's cool designs. Maybe you can add links to open them in JSCAD like

Which reminds me that I have such links on several places but with old site that I need to replace.

@hrgdavor Yes that's this one. (the Maker comes with a fine-point blade and a rotary blade)

@ksanger welcome

Correct. The 'OpenSCAD' conversion to JSCAD has been decommissioned. The code is very old and needs some extensive maintenance / enhancements.

Your students should be able to use the new website easily; www.openjscad.xyz

The 'syntax' to create a new design is slightly different but there's plenty of documentation.
