Is there anything I can do to help with this issue?

kaosat-dev commented 6 years ago

@onebeartoe Sorry for the lack of reply !

sadly our openscad to openjscad translator is quite outdated so it does not support a lot of features added to openscad in the past few years
in the next few months we will be making some breaking changes to our own API, so we had hoped to re-visit the translator then because we do not have enough time/manpower to deal with all of it in parallel

If you feel up to it, please see if you can upgrade the translator at least a bit (openscad modules etc) it would be a huge help :)

Hi Mark. Thanks for the invite to contribute, but in this case I have to hang tight and be patient. Keep up the great work man!

@onebeartoe Have you tried V2 JSCAD? The attached script is very basic (using module as a function, etc), and should convert to V2 JSCAD fairly easily.

@z3dev, I tried the OpenSCAD script I attached here. But it didn't see an option for .scad files; only 'Load a JSCAD Project'.

See the attached screenshot. Did I miss something? inlined-water-filter-screenshot

I also tried uploading a directory with the .scad file, but it only put '// imported from project' and nothing else.

Sorry. OpenSCAD files are not converted automatically. You will have to make changes.

First, make a copy and rename it with “***.js”. Then drag and drop the file to the website. You will have to follow JavaScript now, and change the script.

There are examples under the ? icon, which you can view in the editor (click once in the pop).
