this will soon be fixed https://github.com/jscad/OpenJSCAD.org/issues/935

@jess-yan Hello, the point selection is made with an external tool, Openscad Simple Polygon Editor. I modified it so that I could use it along with OpenJSCAD. But it was with a very old version and with v2 I don't see how to do the same.

@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.

@hrgdavor Thank you, that's very nice. It's not that I like folding things but it's a process I use to build them with cardboard

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

@gilboonet excellent! You are the super user!

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

@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.

Finally I made it fit into one file using obj2jscad.js. It can be seen here.

@z3dev 'class' element for sure is interesting as it will ease styling. About 'id', yes it must be used carefully to ensure that each object has its unique id, generally I use names forged from data (line between triangle 23 and 111 has id 'L_23_111', etc.). 'name' is deprecated so it's maybe wise to avoid it, on very old js code I remember i used 'tag', as svg doesn't use it, as svg can use custom attributes, it can be anything. And it would be really great to have exported svg from jscad with such fine details, because it will allow rework those outputs with great ease. I tried to use localStorage from a jscad script and it doesn't work, so my only other possibility would be to output to console.

@z3dev Thank you for your suggestions. What I did was only translating the code so it run on V2 regardless of placement. I'll try to implement helper function for cube and cuboid, then it should work.

Yup. The old fixTJunctions() function is not present in V2. There's a pull request to add this functionality back, which is under review now.

awesome

@z3dev I already tried to use a branch locally but didn't managed to make it work, so I stick to web version at https://jscad.xyz/

@z3dev I just tested again in order to write the issue, but apparently there is no more problem with text parameter, it was maybe a problem of cache (I'm using web version).

@z3dev I'm currently working with furniture models, they are all hand made. I sliced 8 models (they are available here https://github.com/gilboonet/designs/blob/master/MEUBLES/readme.md, each picture open the corresp. model into jscad) and they are clean because my scripts (slicer and unflattener) can only produce patterns for models without errors (holes, non-manifold). It's certainly my process that met an unhandled condition. To produce 2 axes imbricated crosspieces, I need to slice and then split slices that are made of multiple separated pieces because crosspiece cut need to be done for each piece. As you said it is too complex to debug. I need to simplify my process, maybe voxelization could help.

I finally understood what was happening, I inverted the colours parameter of Firefox to have white text and black background I put text in black and it's ok.

@hrgdavor Thank you for your code, it would be great to be able to load code and data like that then fire it. I hope it will be possible, with v1 I used gProcessor.setJJsCad() on an html/js app but here it is directly a jscad script.

@z3dev yes, examples I mentionned come from "vue-components" project

@z3dev Thanks a lot for your suggestions, I will try to implement them. I have some marginal cases where it will certainly help to have exact vertices
