Hi Gilbert and welcome to the new forums
Still amazed by all your paper creations ! Please keep up the awesome work !

Hi @LinGuanfu !
Visually that seeems correct: if you click on help/question mark do you have a menu with a list of examples ?
also looking at the console output it seems the two instances are created correctly.
Please try opening a design in both panels (or drag & droping a jscad file/folder).
The css is not finished and could use some tweaking (or might not be a perfect fit for all use cases, but should be easy to change

@z3dev This looks absolutely amazing !
Lots of uses cases (I am a sucker for 2d in 3d haha)

This is absolutely amazing, both from a technical and a design point of view ! big kudos !

it works fine on a model with 1000 triangles

I am guessing it does not scale particularly well ?

@William-Adams that is very nice indeed !
Jscad is just a shorter name and less of a mouthful, either is fine

@benkei it does indeed work like that, the parameter definitions are parsed by the internals of jscad to be displayed in the UI

Hi @benkei ! Glad you got some things working !
What part about parameters do you need help with ? , we can help

@imkael désolé pour la réponse très tardive !

• la version expérimentale avec gestion de modules est ici: https://jscad.xyz/playground.html
• si j'ai bien compris, oui ça devrait être possible
• il faudra juste bien exporter les bonnes variables dans chaque module:

drilling.jscad

const listdrill = function listdrill(type) {

  var toreturn = [];
  if (type == ' countersunk'){
  toreturn=[
    [1.6,3.73,1],
    [2,4.78,1.1],
    [3,6.82,1.4],
  ...
  ];
  if( type =='hexagonal'){
    toreturn = [......
  ];
  return toreturn;
}
// IMPORTANT !!
module.exports = listdrill

index.jscad

const listdrill = require('..path/to/drilling.jscad')

function getParameterDefinitions{
  const listdrillPerType = listdrill(type);
  const foruser = '{name:'drillDiameter', initial: '3', type:'choice', caption: 'diameter', values: [';
  for(i=0;i<listdrillPerType.length;i++) {
   foruser= foruser+'''+listdrillPerType[i][0]+'',';}
    ...
  return[
    foruser,
  ];
 }

function main (params) {
}

module.exports = { getParameterDefinitions, main }

@torejorg that is a very good point that we did not consider like that, but perhaps instead of having it as a parameter for cylinders we could (emphasis on "could") have a 'skew' operation (like translate & co), or even just leverage the transform (transformation by a 4x4 matrix) to achieve a similar result ? I am not aware of how limiting/acceptable that would be to be honest

Hi @imkael !
I regularly use something similar (if I get your question right): ie store all defaults for parameters for re-use (https://github.com/PiRo-bots/kiwikee/blob/master/cad/kiwikee/index.js#L14), however I am not sure it would work for the old 'include' syntax: but you can get it working trivially using the 'require' module syntax (available in the V2 prototype, CLI & the desktop app):

in a file called 'parameterDefaults.js' (or whatever you want to call it)

const paramDefaults = {
  quality: 120,
  robotName: 'SMARS',
}

module.exports = paramDefaults

and then you can simply require that module as you need it:

const paramDefaults = require('./parameterDefaults.js')
//code that uses those values elsewhere

hope this helps !

Hi Wolfgang !
Sorry but I am not aware of another version of that script.
Do you need the re-rewrite capability provided by that file ? The only use case is for being able to open jscad designs from other sites (to dance around CORS issue).
