[Help wanted] FreeCAD in web browser project. Its not Onshape! And its working.

It is back up.

Thanks. It is very cool.

Wow, this works suprisingly nice.

Would it be possible to render only the 3d scene in a jupyter notebook using the same technics?

I am not familiar with jupyter notebook. Dose it have any interface for running dockerized applications?

It's possible to run a jupyter-notebook-server from docker. The notebook (gui in browser) allows to send python code to the server which gets evaluated with the python-interpreter and sends back the output to the browser. This way it's possible to import FreeCAD via python and also to start the GUI (qt).

The notebook (gui in browser) allows rendering evaluated output in different ways. It's possible to directly show svg's, plot matplotlib figures and so on. For FreeCAD it would be great to have FreeCAD-objects rendered like it is done for the FreeCAD-gui (qt). We already thought about adding a web-gl viewer to allow this, but this is also difficult as all the scene-graph stuff has to be rewritten.
Rendering OpenGL directly in the browser always seemed to be impossible. But I guess this is exactly what happens in the application you are showing us here.

In this package rendering happens server side and is streamed to the client over web sockets. It seems that the output you are looking for is more static where you evaluate some code and show a result.

Might this be more what you are looking for?

As to openGL in the browser there is a path for this when compiling to web assembly.

Hi, you know RollApp? allows you to launch freecad or any free application on your web browser. See https://www.rollapp.com/apps

it is very interesting, it works!!

[mmiscool]

I played with roll app. I feel that separating the toolbars from the main window will make it easier to do a mobile friendly version of FreeCAD. But yes. Rollapp works. Don't know what the cost of self hosting they is thoug.

Got a new server. Going to leave it on line for a while.
Have fun and play.

Nothing is secure or private at all about this so really only to get an idea of what the project is about.
