The Issue https://github.com/jscad/OpenJSCAD.org/issues/783
Clean up usability and documentation mess calls for simplifying the access to all JSCAD related resources. Therefore i propose to move this chatroom / usergroup to github discussion to make it more accessible to interested users.
https://github.com/jscad/OpenJSCAD.org/discussions was just opened a few days ago. You are cordially invited to participate there.
I have never seen or used v2 yet. It it avaiable online somewhere? It would be great if https://www.openjscad.org/ would have a v2 link and especially a simple switch to see the same code in v1/v2.
That's great i would love if we had a common site for all jscad users where they could upload their designs to share. Especially for "components" that would be very useful. I had hoped to get this working based on a wiki but i never got i working due to the complexity of the javascript code and the v1/v2 situation that blocks proper progress. So what did you have to do to get this working?
@gilboonet Thank you for the hint.
There are probably certain assumptions about running this example that i don't know of. Simply opening the example file in browser gives:
And no OpenJSCAD.org Logo appears as the title would make you think.
So does the example expect some environment?
It looks like it does - the url to the logo is examples/logo.jscad while examples is not a subdirectory of web but a neighbouring - directory changing the design-url to "../examples/logo.jscad" gives not different result though. So how does this example work?
There is now a stackoverflow question about this at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56520743/integrating-openjscad-into-mediawiki and a trial page at http://wiki.bitplan.com/index.php/ParametricLampShade
The current solutions I know of for displaying JSCad Designs:
all need quite some infrastructure to work.
I am looking for a (hopefully) much simpler solution that can be embedded in Mediawiki. For a start a plain html page with a bit of javascript would do for me.
Would it be possible to source the necessary javascript from some other website?
If not what would be the minimum amount of code that neeeds to reside on the server of the Mediawiki site?
I'd be willing to create a MediaWiki extension for displaying JSCad files if there is a long-term (multi-year) future for such a solution. Will Version2 be compatible in this respect to Version 1.9?
You might want to post your question on stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/openjscad - the audience is bigger there.
The issue https://github.com/EinsteinsWorkshop/BlocksCAD/issues/37 is closed.
I'd love to see that parameterized OpenJSCAD designs can be used as Blocks in BlocksCAD. Would this be a different issue?
It would be great if BlocksCAD would have some "import" mechanism where one simply has to specify an URL of an example e.g. for:
https://www.openjscad.org/#examples/gear.jscad
the url would be:
https://www.openjscad.org/examples/gear.jscad
and since the design describes it's own parameters a corresponding BlocksCAD block would be made available for use.
I think this would be a tremendous improvement for the transition from beginner to expert. Beginners could use BlocksCAD but still get access to parameterized more complicated "parts". Intermediate users could combine there own first OpenJSCAD solutions with BlocksCAD stuff they started with. And finally if experts don't need BlocksCAD anymore they can work in OpenJSCAD all day.
What do you think?
Thank you kaosat-dev for looking into this. I added the issue:
https://github.com/jscad/OpenJSCAD.org/issues/438
to more clearly show what the problem is. Locally I can work with the drag&drop solution or with the workspace-mounting approach of the dockerized OpenJSCAD at https://github.com/BITPlan/docker-openjscad
