Correct. There are several reasons but in general any kind of fetching has security issues. Be careful what you wish for.

If you believe that designs are secure then a fetch/evaluate could be performed. But there should be an option to 'believe'.

For those wondering what should be allowed. Create a project (with multiple source files or external formats), and drag-n-drop to the website. In this case, you control the content 100%.

@Jason-Sprouse hmm...

The website doesn't have a backend service/process. Everything is handled by the browser, including loading designs.

The only trick is for designs provided an a URL parameter. In this case, the URL is posted to a little script that reads the contents, stores the file locally, and returns the URL to the local file.

Of course, some other backend service could be added.

@Jason-Sprouse Not a problem. As you mentioned, the engine has to be taught first. How can we make that happen?

FYI, if the results are saved and made available on the web, then the design can be posted to the JSCAD website. I do this for my designs at Thingiverse.

@Jason-Sprouse Love the idea! There are lots of reasons to use AI, and most are for research or learning purposes.

You might want to start with some examples. Such as "show me how to use JSCAD circles?" Or even more complex examples.

@Jason-Sprouse what you installed was the WHOLE project, which requires NODEJS, NPM, etc. you will find the code for the CLI and the WEBUI. Once setup, you can change the code, run tests, add new functionality, etc. The packages are linked together.

The CLI can be installed directly from NPM. See the README for the CLI.

We (developers) have been pounded by new requests, improvements, and bugs. So, there must be something happening out there.

Does anyone have a new design to share?

Release : 2023 JUN 27

There's a new release of JSCAD, including changes from several pull requests.

Bug Fixes

• modeling: add missing extrudeHelical typing definition
• x3d-serializer: added specular highlights and conversion of shape names

Features

• cli: added options to output designs as individual parts, and create zip archive of parts
• modeling: allow zero size in primitives

Performance

• modeling: performance improvements for retessellate as part of booleans

BIG THANKS to @achirita for the performance improvement to the booleans
BIG THANKS to @tsdexter for the cool improvements to the CLI (command line interface)
THANKS to @andreasplesch for the nice improvements to the X3D serializer.
THANKS to @Loosetooth for the TS corrections
And of course, thanks to @platypii for the nice changes to the primitives

@rozek hope that you are still using JSCAD.

there are some changes to vectorChar and vectorText, which will become part of V3 JSCAD. if you have time then please take a look.

https://github.com/jscad/OpenJSCAD.org/pull/1252

@RelatingData Cool stuff! I'm sure there are a few robot fans in the user group.

And hopefully, JSCAD can help to put together some cool tools. Please let us know of anything needs to change, or if some extra functionality would be helpful

Release : 2023 APR 30

There's a new release of JSCAD, including changes from several pull requests.

Bug Fixes

• cli: corrected CLI help messages
• svg-deserializer: fix conversions of quadratic bezier paths
• x3d-serializer: corrected color and transparency conversions
• x3d-serializer: corrected colors, orientation of scene to Y up, and added new option for smoothing
• modeling: added length and arcLengthToT functions to bezier curves
• modeling: export retessellate from modifiers
• modeling: fix line2.closestPoint

BIG THANKS to @andreasplesch for the nice improvements to the X3D serializer.
BIG THANKS to @achirita for the nice improvements to bezier curves.
And of course, thanks to @platypii for the fixes to CLI, modeling and SVG deserializer.
