I didn't find exactly what is different between the two environments (normal jscad and min), could be getBounds() into min.js. But I fixed it using hard coded values, and it's ok. The aim of my app is to allow average user to select a 3d file then a script that will run on the model from this file and at the end create a pdf file with the cuts and folds needed to build the model. On my site I also put links to the jscad script I use to people can learn from them, but sadly if the first script was easy, it quicky gets difficult for beginners. The scripts app is here : https://gilboonet.github.io/OpenJSCAD.org/packages/web/scripts.html

@z3dev Hello, I didn't open an issue because it's V1, but I will do it so we could keep track of the solution I used. Yesterday I tried my little html5 app on my android tablet with Firefox and it works perfectly even the PDF creation part

Thank you. I will try something similar, it just needs to add a parameter to choose a design number, if the table of random values doesn't have values for this number they are randomly feeded, else they are used for the rendering. Such "mechanism" could be handy for designs using both random values and more than one viewing mode.

The simple solutions are always the best. Taking a super thin slice is a great idea, and maybe even the best. The core library will be for core functions, as we expect others (like you) to contribute some really nice high level functionality, such as slicing. If we get the core library rock solid then anything is possible. Projections on to arbitrary planes is on the wish list, but not there yet. Thanks for the awesome posts!

@kaosat-dev At first I tried to use a 10K triangles model but as it didn't render I downscaled to 5K, 3K, 2K then 1K. And after, I made another model with 2x more slices that this script was unable to render even with a 1K model, so I changed the script to make it render chunks of slices, and it was ok. I suppose it could work with higher resolutions models.

I just found that there is an issue on the repository about this concern : https://github.com/jscad/OpenJSCAD.org/issues/438. For the moment I simply copy-paste the content of the library into the script to make it work.

This new star primitive looks promising. Thank you for the code sample, I will try to use .fromAngleRadians().

My code (obj2jscad) only reads a very simple OBJ file (only triangular without normals or textures) and take use of its facets materials groups. Materials are described into another file that I don't use but it could be done to read colors as materials simplest expression can be colors. True OBJ format is much more complex than that.

@gilboonet thanks for the links... When I find some free time, I will definitely dig into it. Currently, I have too many projects in parallel, to add another fascinating one
