Examples to start with

Open AlexDep opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Hi, Can we add examples in a dropdown menu ? That could help with the new users.

Best, Alex

I have some examples here:

https://github.com/GilesBathgate/RapCAD/tree/master/examples

I am not really sure why they need to be integrated into the UI.

It's less an effort to start with. Examples are good to see what is possible when using a new software, I usually start with changing the examples to start learning.

I thought it could be a nice thing to add for user...

I think something to insert the basic primitives, and/or templates would be better.

/** difference of two solids */
difference(){
    // primitive(); // basic solid
    // primitive(); // solid to remove
}

But maybe configurable snippets and examples could also be available. I think I would put this in a side panel (in the screenshot below it shows 'project' but this would change) rather than the drop down menu.
