@ion-0 thanks for the nice offer.

You can contact me at z3-dev at gfnews dot net

Hopefully, we can meet online and discuss. A demo with some explanations would be a lot of fun.

@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

Actually, you can just put a debugger statement in your design, chrome will pause at it, and then you can step through it. Neat.

Yes, this becomes quite limiting if one has to have users download, unzip, and drag & drop. Kind of defeats the purpose of projects. Also you'd have to deal with updates.
Very cumbersome for non-tech users.
It would be nice if you could include directories or even zip files in the URL.

@platypii Thank you for this investigation. I remember that I tried to get JSCAD to union those groups but then it loses colors. I use Wings 3d to colorize my models, and it does not split them into separate objects (on my screenshot I have only one geometry), only materials are separated into groups.

I splitted the model into 3 geometries and then exported it to .obj and the difference is that it contains 3 lines starting with "o " that defines start of an object. Maybe for the moment JSCAD translate lines starting with "g " like "o ".

We're almost at 2000 commits too! 1997 commits now.

@ajw1970 super!

I'm interested in the final application. Why did you want to use Babylon for rendering? And do you further plans to create some online designs?

@z3dev ok, thank you very much for your feedback

@hrgdavor for the moment i have create only one field and i serialize all datas of form and i check the values in the openjscad script

@z3dev Good morning!

As a very first starting point I've implemented a new function "text" in package @jscad/modeling.text which directly creates Path2 arrays.

It is currently part of my own fork of OpenJSCAD only, as I expect multiple changes before it might get accepted and become ready for an official PR. Additionally, my tests are still almost empty (as I have to learn AVA first) and only test for an execution w/o throwing any exceptions...

Happy Easter!

progress of the mentioned prototype with suport for different wegl libs can be found here:
https://github.com/jscad/OpenJSCAD.org/discussions/944

I have just made another step forward: mesh support (but with some quirks ATM)
I have some lighting to fix, and also babylonjs for some weird rason uses left handed system (this adds a bit of complexity to the worker to support it properly)

Also when switching viewers, if they are different orioentation currently I need to run the script again manually to get properly oriented triangles

@jin-kim Welcome!

I don't know of anyone porting the JSCAD modeling library to Java, but it should be possible.

A few years back, someone ported V1 to C++ but I don't have the link.

And very recently, someone has ported the JSCAD modeling library to C# , and there will be an announcement shortly.

@gilboonet Well, actually I figured out! I was using earcut.js to create indice, and with little bit of touch with the result of CAG union/subtract/intersect it worked well. Thanks for the reply.

@hrgdavor Thank you, I will try from this demo.html file. I already used that file at early stage of V2 to take snapshots of a scene to create an animation, but I'm not sure I understood it all.
