Exscad

Exscad is an OpenSCAD viewer written in Elixir using Phoenix LiveView and three.js.

Usage

Follow these steps to set up and run Exscad on your local machine:

1. Clone the project: git clone https://github.com/akdemironur/exscad cd exscad

2. Build the Docker image: cd openscad docker build . --tag openscad

3. Return to the project root directory: cd ..

4. Set up the Elixir environment: mix setup

5. Start the Phoenix server: mix phx.server

Now you can open your web browser and visit localhost:4000 to use Exscad.

Known Issues

• Text functions in OpenSCAD are not working because there is no font in the Docker image.
• Invoking Docker from Elixir is possible but not recommended for production. Consider alternative solutions.
• Updating the textarea may sometimes trigger three.js controls unexpectedly.
• The initial camera position does not take into account the bounding box of the object.
