<h2>About</h2>
This is intended to become a Javascript based alternative to <a href="http://www.openscad.org/">OpenSCAD</a>,
for 3D solid modeling.
CSG model is contructed using Javascript. For example:<br>
<pre>function main() {
var cube = CSG.cube();
return cube;
}</pre>
creates a cube with a radius of 1 and centered at the origin.
The code should always contain a main() function, returning a CSG solid.
<br><br>
To build your own models, create a .jscad file with your javascript code and parse the file using the
<a href="processfile.html">OpenJsCad parser</a>. When finished, click on Generate STL and save the result
in an .stl file, ready to be printed on your 3d printer.
<h2>Why use OpenJsCad?</h2>
Some of the benefits:
<ul>
<li>Runs in your browser, no need to install any software.</li>
<li>You can create parametric models with user editable parameters: parameters can be changed in the browser window,
without the need to edit the source script. See the <a href="gearsdemo.html">Gears demo</a> for example!</li>
<li>JavaScript is an extremely flexible language, supporting dynamic arrays, object oriented programming, closures, anonymous functions and more</li>
<li>Solids are stored in variables. This allows for example conditional cloning of objects, something which is nearly impossible in OpenSCAD.</li>
<li>Properties and Connectors (see below) make it very easy to attach objects to each other at predetermined
points, even if you don't know the actual orientation or size.</li>
<li>Extensive built in <a href="#math">support for 2D and 3D math</a> (classes for Vector2D, Vector3D, Plane, Line3D, Line2D)</li>
<li>Debugging support: step through your code, set breakpoints, inspect variables, etc. See the
<a href="processfile.html">OpenJsCad parser</a> for details.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Viewer navigation</h2>
Click and drag to rotate the model around the origin.<br>
Shift+Drag moves the model around.<br>
Alt+drag zooms (by changing the distance between camera and model).

<h2>Primitive solids</h2>
Currently the following solids are supported. The parameters are passed in an object; most
parameters are optional. 3D vectors can be passed in an array. If a scalar is passed
for a parameter which expects a 3D vector, it is used for the x, y and z value.
In other words: <code>radius: 1</code> will give <code>radius: [1,1,1]</code>.
<br><br>
All rounded solids have a 'resolution' parameter which controls tesselation. If resolution
is set to 8, then 8 polygons per 360 degree of revolution are used. Beware that rendering
time will increase dramatically when increasing the resolution. For a sphere the number of polygons
increases quadratically with the resolution used.
<br><br>
<pre>
// a cube:
var cube = CSG.cube({
center: [0, 0, 0],
radius: [1, 1, 1]
});
// a sphere:
var sphere = CSG.sphere({
center: [0, 0, 0],
radius: 2, // must be scalar
resolution: 32
});
// a cylinder:
var cylinder = CSG.cylinder({
start: [0, -1, 0],
end: [0, 1, 0],
radius: 1,
resolution: 16
});
// like a cylinder, but with spherical endpoints:
var roundedCylinder = CSG.roundedCylinder({
start: [0, -1, 0],
end: [0, 1, 0],
radius: 1,
resolution: 16
});
// a rounded cube:
var cube = CSG.roundedCube({
center: [0, 0, 0],
radius: 1,
roundradius: 0.2,
resolution: 8,
});
</pre>
<h2>CSG operations</h2>
The 3 standard CSG operations are supported. All CSG operations return a new solid; the source solids
are not modified:
<pre>
var csg1 = cube.union(sphere);
var csg2 = cube.intersect(sphere);
var csg3 = cube.subtract(sphere);
</pre>
<h2>Transformations</h2>
Solids can be translated, scaled and rotated. Multiple transforms can be combined into a single matrix transform.
For <a href="#math">matrix and vector math see below</a>.
<pre>
var cube = CSG.cube();
// translation:
var cube2 = cube.translate([1, 2, 3]);
// scaling:
var largecube = cube.scale(2.0);
var stretchedcube = cube.scale([1.5, 1, 0.5]);
// rotation:
var rotated1 = cube.rotateX(-45); // rotate around the X axis
var rotated2 = cube.rotateY(90); // rotate around the Y axis
var rotated3 = cube.rotateZ(20); // rotate around the Z axis
// combine multiple transforms into a single matrix transform:
var m = new CSG.Matrix4x4();
m = m.multiply(CSG.Matrix4x4.rotationX(40));
m = m.multiply(CSG.Matrix4x4.rotationZ(40));
m = m.multiply(CSG.Matrix4x4.translation([-.5, 0, 0]));
m = m.multiply(CSG.Matrix4x4.scaling([1.1, 1.2, 1.3]));
// and apply the transform:
var cube3 = cube.transform(m);
</pre>
<h2>Mirroring</h2>
Solids can be mirrored in any plane in 3D space. For <a href="#math">plane math see below</a>.
<pre>
var cube = CSG.cube().translate([1,0,0]);
var cube2 = cube.mirroredX(); // mirrored in the x=0 plane
var cube3 = cube.mirroredY(); // mirrored in the y=0 plane
var cube4 = cube.mirroredZ(); // mirrored in the z=0 plane
// create a plane by specifying 3 points:
var plane = CSG.Plane.fromPoints([5,0,0], [5, 1, 0], [3, 1, 7]);
// and mirror in that plane:
var cube5 = cube.mirrored(plane);
</pre>
<h2>Cutting by a plane</h2>
A solid can be cut by a plane; only the part on the back side is kept:
<pre>
var cube = CSG.cube({radius: 10});
// create a plane by specifying 3 points:
var plane1 = CSG.Plane.fromPoints([5,0,0], [7, 1, 0], [3, 1, 7]);
// or by specifying a normal and a point on the plane:
var plane2 = CSG.Plane.fromNormalAndPoint([3, 1, 2], [5, 0, 0]);
// and cut by the plane:
var part1 = cube.cutByPlane(plane2);
// or if we need the other half of the cube:
var part2 = cube.cutByPlane(plane2.flipped());
</pre>
<h2>Expansion and contraction</h2>
Expansion can be seen
as the 3D convolution of an object with a sphere. Contraction is the reverse: the area outside the solid
is expanded, and this is then subtracted from the solid.
<br><br>
Expansion and contraction are very powerful ways to get an object with nice smooth corners. For example
a rounded cube can be created by expanding a normal cube.
<br><br>
Note that these are expensive operations: spheroids are created around every corner and edge in the original
object, so the number of polygons quickly increases. Expansion and contraction therefore are only practical for simple
non-curved objects.
<br><br>
expand() and contract() take two parameters: the first is the radius of expansion or contraction; the second
parameter is optional and specififies the resolution (number of polygons on spherical surfaces, per 360 degree revolution).
<pre>
var cube1 = CSG.cube({radius: 1.0});
var cube2 = CSG.cube({radius: 1.0}).translate([-0.3, -0.3, -0.3]);
var csg = cube1.subtract(cube2);
var rounded = csg.expand(0.2, 8);
</pre>
<h2>Using Properties</h2>
The 'property' property of a solid can be used to store metadata for the object,
for example the coordinate of a specific point of interest of the solid. Whenever
the object is transformed (i.e. rotated, scaled or translated), the properties
are transformed with it. So the property will keep pointing to the same point
of interest even after several transformations have been applied to the solid.
<br><br>
Properties can have any type, but only the properties of classes supporting
a 'transform' method will actually be transformed. This includes CSG.Vector3D,
CSG.Plane and CSG.Connector. In particular CSG.Connector properties (see below)
can be very useful: these can
be used to attach a solid to another solid at a predetermined location regardless of the
current orientation.
<br><br>
It's even possible to include a CSG solid as a property of another solid. This could
be used for example
to define the cutout cylinders to create matching screw holes for an object. Those 'solid properties'
get the same transformations as the owning solid but they will not be visible in the result
of CSG operations such as union().
<br><br>
Other kind of properties (for
example, strings) will still be included in the properties of the transformed
solid, but the properties will not get any transformation when the owning solid is transformed. <br><br>
All primitive solids have some predefined properties, such as the center point
of a sphere (TODO: document).
<br><br>
The solid resulting from CSG operations (union(), subtract(), intersect()) will get
the merged properties of both source solids. If identically named properties exist, only
one of them will be kept.
<pre>
var cube = CSG.cube({radius: 1.0});
cube.properties.aCorner = new CSG.Vector3D([1, 1, 1]);
cube = cube.translate([5, 0, 0]);
cube = cube.scale(2);
// cube.properties.aCorner will now point to [12, 2, 2],
// which is still the same corner point
// Properties can be stored in arrays; all properties in the array
// will be transformed if the solid is transformed:
cube.properties.otherCorners = [
new CSG.Vector3D([-1, 1, 1]),
new CSG.Vector3D([-1, -1, 1])
];
// and we can create sub-property objects; these must be of the
// CSG.Properties class. All sub properties will be transformed with
// the solid:
cube.properties.myProperties = new CSG.Properties();
cube.properties.myProperties.someProperty = new CSG.Vector3D([-1, -1, -1]);
</pre>
For an example see the <a href="servodemo.html">Servo motor</a> demo.
<h2>Connectors</h2>
The CSG.Connector class is intended to facilitate
attaching two solids to each other at a predetermined
location and orientation.
For example suppose we have a CSG solid depicting a servo motor
and a solid of a servo arm: by defining a Connector property for each of them, we
can easily attach the servo arm to the servo motor at the correct position
(i.e. the motor shaft) and orientation (i.e. arm perpendicular to the shaft)
even if we don't know their current position and orientation
in 3D space.<br><br>
In other words Connector give us the freedom to rotate and translate objects at will without the need
to keep track of their positions and boundaries. And if a third party library exposes connectors for
its solids, the user of the library does not have to know the actual dimensions or
shapes, only the names of the connector properties.
<br><br>
A CSG.Connector consist of 3 properties:<br>
<b>point</b>: a CSG.Vector3D defining the connection point in 3D space<br>
<b>axis</b>: a CSG.Vector3D defining the direction vector of the connection
(in the case of the servo motor example it would point in the direction of the shaft)<br>
<b>normal</b>: a CSG.Vector3D direction vector somewhat perpendicular to axis; this
defines the &quot;12 o'clock&quot; orientation of the connection.
<br><br>
When connecting two connectors, the solid is transformed such that the <b>point</b>
properties will be identical, the <b>axis</b> properties will have the same direction
(or opposite direction if mirror == true), and the <b>normal</b>s match as much as possible.
<br><br>
Connectors can be connected by means of two methods:<br>
A CSG solid's <b>connectTo()</b> function transforms a solid such that two connectors
become connected.<br>
Alternatively we can use a connector's <b>getTransformationTo()</b> method to obtain
a transformation matrix which would connect the connectors. This can be used if we
need to apply the same transform to multiple solids.
<pre>
var cube1 = CSG.cube({radius: 10});
var cube2 = CSG.cube({radius: 4});
// define a connector on the center of one face of cube1
// The connector's axis points outwards and its normal points
// towards the positive z axis:
cube1.properties.myConnector = new CSG.Connector([10, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1]);
// define a similar connector for cube 2:
cube2.properties.myConnector = new CSG.Connector([0, -4, 0], [0, -1, 0], [0, 0, 1]);
// do some random transformations on cube 1:
cube1 = cube1.rotateX(30);
cube1 = cube1.translate([3.1, 2, 0]);
// Now attach cube2 to cube 1:
cube2 = cube2.connectTo(
cube2.properties.myConnector,
cube1.properties.myConnector,
true, // mirror
0 // normalrotation
);
// Or alternatively:
var matrix = cube2.properties.myConnector.getTransformationTo(
cube1.properties.myConnector,
true, // mirror
0 // normalrotation
);
cube2 = cube2.transform(matrix);
var result = cube2.union(cube1);
</pre>
For a more complete example see the <a href="servodemo.html">Servo motor</a> demo.
<h2>Determining the bounds of an object</h2>
The getBounds() function can be used to retrieve the bounding box of an object.
getBounds() returns
an array with two elements specifying the minimum x,y,z coordinate and the maximum x,y,z coordinate:
<pre>
var cube1 = CSG.cube({radius: 10});
var cube2 = CSG.cube({radius: 5});
// get the right bound of cube1 and the left bound of cube2:
var deltax = cube1.getBounds()[1].x - cube2.getBounds()[0].x;
// align cube2 so it touches cube1:
cube2 = cube2.translate([deltax, 0, 0]);
return cube1.union(cube2);
</pre>
<h2>2D shapes</h2>
Two dimensional shapes can be defined through the Polygon2D class. Currently this requires the polygon to be convex
(i.e. all corners less than 180 degrees). Shapes can be transformed (rotation, translation, scaling).
To actually use the shape it needs to be extruded into a 3D CSG object through the extrude() function. extrude()
places the 2D solid onto the z=0 plane, and extrudes in the specified direction. Extrusion can be done with an optional
twist. This rotates the solid around the z axis (and not necessariy around the extrusion axis) during extrusion.
The total degrees of rotation is specified in the twistangle parameter, and twiststeps determine the number of steps
between the bottom and top surface.
<pre>
// Create a shape; argument is an array of 2D coordinates
// The shape must be convex, can be specified in clockwise or in counterclockwise direction
var shape2d=new CSG.Polygon2D([[0,0], [5,0], [3,5], [0,5]]);
// Do some transformations:
shape2d=shape2d.translate([-2, -2]);
shape2d=shape2d.rotate(20);
shape2d=shape2d.scale([0.2, 0.2]);
// And extrude. This creates a CSG solid:
var extruded=shape2d.extrude({
offset: [0.5, 0, 2], // direction for extrusion
twistangle: 180, // top surface is rotated 180 degrees
twiststeps: 100 // create 100 slices
});
</pre>
For an example of 2D shapes see the <a href="hookdemo.html">Parametric S hook</a> demo.
<h2>2D Paths</h2>
A path is simply a series of points, connected by lines. A path can be open or closed (an additional line
is drawn between the first and last point). 2D paths are supported through the CSG.Path2D class.
<br><br>
Paths can be contructed either by giving a series of 2D coordinates, or through the CSG.Path2D.arc() function,
which creates a circular curved path. Paths can be concatenated, the result is a new path.
<br><br>
Creating a 3D solid is currently supported by the rectangularExtrude() function. This creates a 3D shape
by following the path with a 2D rectangle (upright, perpendicular to the path direction).
<pre>
var path = new CSG.Path2D([[10,10], [-10,10]], /* closed = */ false);
var anotherpath = new CSG.Path2D([[-10,-10]]);
path = path.concat(anotherpath);
path = path.appendPoint([10,-10]);
path = path.close(); // close the path
// of course we could simply have done:
// var path = new CSG.Path2D([[10,10], [-10,10], [-10,-10], [10,-10]], /* closed = */ true);
// We can make arcs and circles:
var curvedpath = CSG.Path2D.arc({
center: [0,0,0],
radius: 10,
startangle: 0,
endangle: 180,
resolution: 16,
});
// Extrude the path by following it with a rectangle (upright, perpendicular to the path direction)
// Returns a CSG solid
// width: width of the extrusion, in the z=0 plane
// height: height of the extrusion in the z direction
// resolution: number of segments per 360 degrees for the curve in a corner
// roundEnds: if true, the ends of the polygon will be rounded, otherwise they will be flat
var csg = path.rectangularExtrude(3, 4, 16, true);
return csg;
</pre>
<h2>Interactive parametric models</h2>
It is possible to make certain parameters
editable in the browser. This allows users not familiar with JavaScript to create customized STL files.
<br><br>
To do so, add a function getParameterDefinitions() to your .jscad source. This function should return
an array with parameter definitions. Currently 4 parameters types are supported: float, int, text and choice.
The user edited values of the parameters will be supplied as an object parameter to the main() function of your .jscad file.
<br><br>
A float, int or text parameter is created by including the following object in the array returned by getParameterDefinitions():
<pre>{
name: 'width',
type: 'float', // or 'text' or 'int'
default: 1.23, // optional, sets the initial value
caption: 'Width of the thingy:', // optional, displayed left of the input field
// if omitted, the 'name' is displayed (i.e. 'width')
}</pre>
A 'choice' parameter is created using the following object:
<pre>{
name: 'shape',
type: 'choice',
values: ["TRI", "SQU", "CIR"], // these are the values that will be supplied to your script
captions: ["Triangle", "Square", "Circle"], // optional, these values are shown in the listbox
// if omitted, the items in the 'values' array are used
caption: 'Shape:', // optional, displayed left of the input field
default: "SQU", // optional, default selected value
// if omitted, the first item is selected by default
}</pre>
To use the values add an argument to your main() function. This argument will be supplied an object
with the user edited parameter values:
<pre>
function main(params)
{
// custom error checking:
if(params.width <= 0) throw new Error("Width should be positive!");
if(params.shape == "TRI")
{
// do something
}
}
</pre>
A complete example. Copy/paste it into the Playground at the top of this page to see how it works:
<pre>
function getParameterDefinitions() {
return [
{
name: 'width',
type: 'float',
default: 10,
caption: "Width of the cube:",
},
{
name: 'height',
type: 'float',
default: 14,
caption: "Height of the cube:",
},
{
name: 'depth',
type: 'float',
default: 7,
caption: "Depth of the cube:",
},
{
name: 'rounded',
type: 'choice',
caption: 'Round the corners?',
values: [0, 1],
captions: ["No thanks", "Yes please"],
default: 1,
},
];
}
function main(params) {
var result;
if(params.rounded == 1)
{
result = CSG.roundedCube({radius: [params.width, params.height, params.depth], roundradius: 2, resolution: 32});
}
else
{
result = CSG.cube({radius: [params.width, params.height, params.depth]});
}
return result;
}
</pre>
Or see the <a href="gearsdemo.html">Gears demo</a> for another example of interactive parameters.
<h2>Miscellaneous</h2>
Solids can be given a color using the setColor(r, g, b) function. Beware: this returns a new solid,
the original solid is not modified! Faces of the solid will keep their original color when doing
CSG operations (union() etc). Colors values range between 0.0 and 1.0 (not 255).
<pre>
var cube1 = CSG.cube({radius: 10});
cube1 = cube1.setColor(0.5, 0, 0);
var cube2 = CSG.cube({radius: 10});
cube2 = cube2.setColor(0, 0.5, 0);
cube2 = cube2.translate([5,1,4]);
var result = cube1.subtract(cube2);
// the resulting solid will have faces with 2 different colors
</pre>
<h2><a name="math"></a>2D and 3D Math</h2>

// elements are passed in row order
var result = m1.plus(m2);
var result = m1.minus(m2);
var result = m1.multiply(m2);
// matrix vector multiplication (vectors are padded with zeroes to get a 4x1 vector):
var vec3d = m1.rightMultiply1x3Vector(vec3d); // matrix * vector
var vec3d = m1.leftMultiply1x3Vector(vec3d); // vector * matrix
var vec2d = m1.rightMultiply1x2Vector(vec2d); // matrix * vector
var vec2d = m1.leftMultiply1x2Vector(vec2d); // vector * matrix
// common transformation matrices:
var m = CSG.Matrix4x4.rotationX(degrees); // matrix for rotation about X axis
var m = CSG.Matrix4x4.rotationY(degrees); // matrix for rotation about Y axis
var m = CSG.Matrix4x4.rotationZ(degrees); // matrix for rotation about Z axis
var m = CSG.Matrix4x4.rotation(rotationCenter, rotationAxis, degrees); // rotation about arbitrary point and axis
var m = CSG.Matrix4x4.translation(vec3d); // translation
var m = CSG.Matrix4x4.scaling(vec3d); // scale
var m = CSG.Matrix4x4.mirroring(plane); // mirroring in a plane; the argument must be a CSG.Plane
// matrix transformations can be concatenated:
var transform = CSG.Matrix4x4.rotationX(20).multiply(CSG.Matrix4x4.rotationY(30));
// Use a CSG solid's transform() method to apply the transformation to a CSG solid
// ------------ Plane --------------------------
// a 3D plane is represented by a normal vector (should have unit length) and a distance from the origin w
// the plane passes through normal.times(w)
var plane1 = new CSG.Plane(normal, w);
// Or we can construct a plane from 3 points:
var plane2 = CSG.Plane.fromPoints(p1, p2, p3);
// Or from a normal vector and 1 point:
var plane3 = CSG.Plane.fromNormalAndPoint(normal, point);
// Flip a plane (front side becomes back side):
var plane4 = plane3.flipped();
// Apply transformations (rotation, scaling, translation):
var transformed = plane3.transformed(matrix4x4); // argument is a CSG.Matrix4x4
// Intersection of plane and 3d line:
var point = plane3.intersectWithLine(line); // argument is CSG.Line3D, returns a CSG.Vector3D
// Intersection of 2 planes:
var line = plane3.intersectWithPlane(plane); // argument is another CSG.Plane, returns a CSG.Line3D
// Distance to point:
var w = signedDistanceToPoint(point); // argument is CSG.Vector3D, returns a float (positive
// if in front of plane, negative if in back)
// ------------ Line3D --------------------------
// A line in 3d space is represented by a point and a direction vector.
// Direction should be a unit vector. Point can be any point on the line:
var line = new CSG.Line3D(point, direction); // argumenst are CSG.Vector3D
// or by giving two points:
var line = CSG.Line3D.fromPoints(p1, p2); // argumenst are CSG.Vector3D
var point = intersectWithPlane(plane); // == plane.intersectWithLine(this)
var line2 = line.reverse(); // same line but reverse direction
var line2 = line.transform(matrix4x4); // for rotation, scaling, etc
var p = line.closestPointOnLine(point); // project point onto the line
var d = line.distanceToPoint(point);
