      I'm an OpenScad user and have used OpenJSCAD to teach our students about software CAD online. Note students are issued Chromebooks and are unable to load OpenScad so having a Web version was great. Today however it looks like typing OpenSCAD commands no longer works? I don't want to learn to code in Java. Just keep using OpenSCAD as is. Its much simpler and makes more sense to me.

      However today I typed:

      //!OpenSCAD
      
      cylinder(d=10,h=5);
      cube(10);
      
      

      And get an error message.

      TypeError: (intermediate value).union is not a function
      Stack trace:

        @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.
