STL, DXF and STEP viewer plugin wanted

Contribute Feature

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around finding a plugin to embed STL, DXF, and STEP viewer functionality in a Discourse community focused on CAD construction. terraboss is looking for a solution that allows uploading the right file format and displaying it with a viewer that includes UI elements and a download option. They explored options like Autodesk’s A360 viewer, which has a 30-day storage limit, and a similar feature on the FormLabs Community forums. steko suggested embedding the STL viewer from GitHub, but it’s limited to STL files and requires JavaScript. Hubbe recommended a plugin from ViewSTL, which they use on their website, and expressed interest in having a similar plugin for the community.

Hi,
one of my Discourse communities is very specialized on CAD construction. Therefore I’m looking for a easy-to-use way of embedding the most common construction file formats. Has someone else any kind of solution?

Something like this: Have a try!

Or do you guys think we’re able to embed those A360 viewer?
https://360.autodesk.com/viewer
(ahhh they have a limitation at storing time: max 30 days)

My preferred way is: Uploading the right file format → getting an viewer with UI elements and download option.

Other thoughts appreciated.

It should be possible to embed the STL viewer from GitHub, but it’s limited to STL and it requires Javascript (i.e. it’s not an <iframe>).

Mi piace usare questo per visualizzare gli STL sul mio sito web: Stl Viewer Javascript Plugin- Docs
Sarebbe fantastico avere un plugin per questo.
