There was some initial post some time ago (http://forum.openscad.org/OpenSCAD-td9598.html) but unfortunately no more contact I'm aware of. I think they are still using OpenJSCAD so maybe the plan to switch to OpenSCAD was dropped or is not finished. Good thing is that it says it GPL3, and there's a repo on github (https://github.com/EinsteinsWorkshop/BlocksCAD). ciao, Torsten.

That's very cool :) They also implemented color in the rendered output. Meshlab would not load the X3D file, said it was "not valid", looks ok as text. AMF looks ok. Now, if we could port their code into OpenSCAD, that would be great. Quite a fair chunk of Javascript there. -- View this message in context: http://forum.openscad.org/Blockscad-tp13790p13794.html Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Oh fun! In the readme file it sais the darpa funded it, and they are searching for more funds to develop it further. i tried some cubes joined together and it only render one corrupt cube in the preview an in the render stl file, the x3d crashes meshlab and netfabb. The csg code is csg.js it runs from index.html if you dl it to the pc. It is fraught with errors. They should change all the CSG engine to OpenJSCAD. i have more chance of getting openjscad to run color files. i have a x3d parser already in JS will see if i can find some colors options in the file formats. -- View this message in context: http://forum.openscad.org/Blockscad-tp13790p13796.html Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

i couldn't find a way to copy the code, so I could place it into openscad. Saving to xml, was simply not an option, just plain unreadable.

Hi Minuti, I've had some fun playing on Blockscad, it is a very cool idea, my first steps into programming were using a sound generator visual programming suite. It's not far off from building 3d using a node editor, I have a strange visionof a 3d fancyware generator built with lego's of code and with a synthesizer panel to change parameters. Does the program run loops already? The program makes only one cube from a loop and it seems that openjscad doesn't run loops either. Perhaps children would benefit from a small picture in the options menu next to every 3d command, so sphere, cylinder, to reinforce their understanding of those, and icons for translate and rotate. Some examples presets would be cool too, there are some crystals.scad files around online for girls and some cars and rockets for the boys :) just because 3 lines of rotations makes so cool crystals icosahedron and everything. <http://forum.openscad.org/file/n13815/synth_program.jpg> here is actually a node editor experiment in dx11 environment, http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/csg-library-for-c.281028/ <http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/csg-library-for-c.281028/> can someone tell me what other visual geometry programming codes exist? -- View this message in context: http://forum.openscad.org/Blockscad-tp13790p13815.html Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Am I missing something or does the binary maths operator have the connector in the wrong place? It only seems to connect to an if, rather than something that expects a value. In fact I don't think there should be any distinction between if conditions and values.

Good eye, nophead, True and False are perfectly acceptable numbers! That should be an easy fix. I think we were trying to avoid "True plus one is what?" situations, but there's nothing inherently wrong with those. ufomorace, both BlocksCAD and OpenJSCAD do loops, the same way as OpenSCAD. No variable reassignment ('cause that's just silly). Examples are forthcoming - we've got a lot of cool things we've made. And you might like Antimony http://www.mattkeeter.com/projects/antimony/3/ <http://www.mattkeeter.com/projects/antimony/3/> . It's node-based, implicit cad. I can't stand node-anything, personally, but I know a lot of people think that way. Give me a Makefile and a folder of .scad files any day :) jdawgaz, I think you might have missed the "Code" tab in the upper-right. Going from OpenSCAD to BlocksCAD is planned, but we're still missing some OpenSCAD features like minkowski, projection, children, and arrays. Once we've got those, we'll get to work on import. -- View this message in context: http://forum.openscad.org/Blockscad-tp13790p13852.html Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
