JScad project showcase
Hello Everyone,
I've started a JSCAD project when V2 wasn't even officially released and I can now share the project with everyone in the hope of motivating new developers to adopt this project.
Many thanks to the developers who made this possible!
The web app allows you to design remotely controlled airplane wings using classical rib & spar approach or even 3D print it the solid and/or the internal frame.
The tool is parametric with lots of parameters for wing shape, elements and spar positioning. Export is possible in PDF, SVG, DXF, STL formats.
You can find the project online at https://rcplanediy.com/wingdesigner The project is still in development.

RE: Can not get View type: Orthographic to work.
@david-bolt one suggestion from what i've tried could be to set the camera position for regular perspective camera further away as an orthographic camera is just a perspective camera at infinity

RE: JScad project showcase
Hello
I don't mind, I would be happy! I'm very grateful for this library and hope to be able to support it in the future.
When is the Faire ? Perhaps I find some time to add a gallery with some samples featuring the various capabilities and some bug fixing. If you'd like I'd happy to connect for a quick demo too.

RE: threejs integration
@danmarshall said in threejs integration:
renderer
I alao strongly feel like the rendering is much inferior to threejs and I am facing the same challenges - material lighting are way better in threejs. And thinking about somehow taking the output of jscad and drawing in threejs.

thanks!!. i'll check it out as see what options are there -
RE: Exporting format for CNCs
@z3dev hello
Thanks for the ansewe. I have poligons built, only targeting 2D shapes.What i am looking for is a library or way to export from javascript a cnc common file.
I do understand that conversion from dxf or svg might be possible but I expect other issues as units or conversion issues and it could require an extra step.

Exporting format for CNCs
Hello
I have some polygons I want to export in a common format for CNC cutting (2D).
Tried searching around, I know there DXF and STL export in jscad but could not find a straightforward library or way to export a polygon from JSCAD to a CNC format (like STEP).
Are there any options to accomplish this using jscad functions or an external library?
Thanks!

RE: 2D slice from extruded polygon after substraction
@gilboonet Thanks for the response. I believe you mean the "sides" are rendered using polygons. indeed they are lots of polygons. I might give that a try using the 2d constructive geometry. i've gotten the result right using the fromfakepolygons routine.

RE: 2D slice from extruded polygon after substraction
@z3dev
I have got it working using the routine pointed at by you. it was a bit confusing as it throws error for polygons with more than "2 dimension" and the axis was different.
