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 ?

Thanks to the very kind sponsorship of Serapath over on Twitter,
we have created a small (ongoing) series of video tutorials for Jscad that you can find here : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCiWVcSJ1UJQPNZWqu3OJzZbrwLdO39S9
Enjoy !
And feedback is also welcome

@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).

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