opencomputeproject / cadcloud Goto Github PK

Hello everyone, first of all, I want to congratulate you. This is a very cool idea and I will follow it with great interest.

I just wanted to make sure you were aware of this 3D webviewer project made with OpenCascade named CascadeStudio: https://github.com/zalo/CascadeStudio

There's a demo here where you can load STEPS files:
https://zalo.github.io/CascadeStudio/

I thought that maybe, it there could be something interesting as a basis for your own viewer.

FreeCAD can export many different formats.
It would be nice if CADCloud could automatically export into other formats on demand.

For example, .gltf and .glb formats are supported in game engines and 3D environments like Mozilla hubs. If CADcloud could export .glb on demand, a user could reference a model inside a hubs room by URL and have the model pulled in directly.

The API call shall return all public projects (from and not from an end user) and private projects from an end users only when signed. Currently it does return only public and private owned projects from a specific end user.

Problem

Some links on Home are not working for me:

The cursor may or may not change when hovering over (different issue), but nothing happens on click. Other functions to click are not visible to me.

Revisions are not sorted when extracted from minio, they must be sorted before being sent back to the javascript client otherwise unexpected display might happens within the project entry (project magnet do not correspond to latest available)

The 3D web model viewer overlay should be reworked to improve user experience.

• The very large title '3D web models viewer' is unnecessary.
• The copyright statement can be moved to the bottom and reduced in size.
• The instructions on usage should be moved to a tooltip or bottom so that the tree is at the top and easily accessed

Clicking items in the tree has two different results and this can be confusing. If the item is a group parent, clicking it expands or collapses the node. If it is a single item, clicking it hides/shows the item. I suggest that each row in the tree have an eyeball icon which controls the hiding/showing function. Clicking would be reserved to selection.

when i run the 'docker build' ,It bothers me.

Hi. Thanks for maintaining the freecad snap. I have a few suggestions:

Consider using extension for desktop environment setup

As far as I can see, you're setting up all desktop related things (fonts etc.) manually in the launcher script.
Consider using a snapcraft extension to provide this, simplify the snap, and profit from upstream improvements.

The gnome-3-38 extension works fine for Qt based applications (see https://github.com/ppd/anki-ppd/blob/master/snap/snapcraft.yaml for an example).

Use lzo compression

This drastically improves startup (especially cold start) times at the cost of a small size increase. That's a very good idea for snaps that do not need to support very old squashfs/kernel versions without lzo support.

Fix addon manager getting stuck at "cloning module"

See #25

Set up dependencies in snapcraft.yaml

As far as I can see, you're adding PPAs before launching snapcraft, and you're also building dependencies outside the snapcraft scripts. Both things could be done inside the snapcraft.yaml file, making it self-contained and independent of its build environment.

Move freecad to separate repository

To make it more discoverable for users (bug reporters) and developers.

If you're interested in (some of) those changes, I can create a few PRs.

doing a quick search for cadcloud doesn't yield results for finding the actual website (internet) not local build (intranet) for even browsing the website

https://justyour.parts

github has a little URL thingy for repos, and you can insert that above ☝️ URL into this repo for people like me 🙋‍♂️ who'd actually like to click around on the actual website without having to clone, etc etc to started with this project.

also couldn't hurt to put that URL somewhere in the readme, maybe i overlooked it, but i had to dig around through the source just to find the URL 😬

seems like a really ambitious project none the less, and look forward to seeing it develop. 💪

Mine is the FreeCAD_0.19-23546-Linux-Conda_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage
Which is the "latest" I can find. However, when I import Cloud, it doesn't find it. So i guess its not in there right?
Or is it in a specific workbench i have to load?
Your suggesting to use snap instead, is that the way to go? I don't use that until now, but that's just me :-)
Great work btw!!
