Generation of model for the viewer

[KaruroChori]

Hi, I wanted to integrate this viewer in the documentation of a project, but I cannot find information about the actual format used by the example files. How have those file been generated? Is it one of the export formats provided by CadQuery? Thank you!

help?

vertices, triangles, normals are created via tessellation and edges by discretizing the edges provided by the CAD kernel (see e.g. https://github.com/bernhard-42/cad-viewer-widget/blob/master/notebooks/Classic-OCC-Bottle.ipynb for python-occ or https://github.com/bernhard-42/jupyter-cadquery/blob/master/jupyter_cadquery/tessellator.py for CadQuery)

The lates release candidate (3.1.0rc4) of Jupyter-CadQuery has an export function https://github.com/bernhard-42/jupyter-cadquery/blob/ff773855f480624f30ae7bf874e728ec9ebddd68/jupyter_cadquery/serialize.py#L116-L123

Yes, I find it much clearer now! Thank you. And that export function will be extremely handy.
