  @BOYUAN-SHI Welcome

  I have done some designs using my iPad, which was a little cramped for viewing. Technically, everything worked fine.

  If you are working with a project with multiple files then probably a PC would be better. You can drag and drop the whole folder to the website. And change any file.

  I think most people use a favorite editor to make changes, and drag and drop the file to the website. That works really well.

  @sopatt Sorry to the late reply.

  You probably already know this but an ''orientation" is required to determine the rotation, and sign of the angle.

  This is probably the best implementation out there. And if you want then this could be added to the vec3 functions.

  I'd like to have the ability to load and save files to Cloud storage, (or a local ftp server).

  The reason is that if I'm working on a design and go away, I can't shut the computer down. It has to go onto standby.

  After working on Microsoft Teams and 365, they force you to get used to using a Cloud. So unfortunately, the openjscad.xyz system feels a bit clunky in comparison.

  Please consider at some point adding Cloud Load/Save if there is enough user interest.

  Here's a discussion about a Javascript code snippet where something similar is implemented.

  Greetings Everyone!
  What video or website do you suggest for a total JSCAD beginner.
  Specifically, 5 middle schoolers were challenged to create ancient Egyptian artifacts using jscad.
  How do you suggest we begin?
  Thank you for any references.

  Valine Zeigler Gilbert, Thank you so much. You were so helpful that I found Tinkercad. After watching your video I realized that jscad may be the next step for those who want to dive deeper after learning the basics. Have a great day!
