@jscad/x3d-serializer

Serializer of JSCAD geometries to X3D shapes

Overview

This serializer outputs a 'blobable' array of data from one or more JSCAD geometries. The array of data can either be used to create a Blob (new Blob(blobable)), or converted to a Node.js buffer.

The serialization of the following geometries are possible.

serialization of 3D geometries (geom3) to X3D IndexedTriangleSet (a unique mesh containing coordinates)
serialization of 2D geometries (geom2) to X3D Polyline2D
serialization of 2D paths (path2) to X3D Polyline2D

The id attribute is used as the DEF name for the generated X3D shape when found on a geometry.
Material (color) is added to X3D shapes when found on a geometry.

All shapes are wrapped in a rotation transform to align the positive Z direction of JSCAD with the vertical up direction in X3D.

Installation

npm install @jscad/x3d-serializer

Usage

const x3dSerializer = require('@jscad/x3d-serializer')

const rawData = x3dSerializer.serialize({unit: 'inch'}, geometry)

//in browser (with browserify etc)
const blob = new Blob(rawData)
