three-2-csg

What's this?

This is a converter which enables conversion of ThreeJS objects into CSG and back (it works both ways).

CSG objects created by this converter can then be manipulated via @jscad/csg.

This solution is based on ThreeCSG.js converter by Chandler Prall.

Installation

npm i three-2-csg

Example

The following example is based on a Stack overflow example by 4m1r:

import { toCSG, fromCSG } from 'three-2-csg';

//sphere
var sphere = new THREE.SphereGeometry(2,20,20);
var sphereMesh = new THREE.Mesh( sphere, material );
var sphereCSG = toCSG( sphereMesh ); // converting ThreeJS object to CSG

// cyl
var cylinder = new THREE.CylinderGeometry(0.5, 0.5, 5, 32 );
var cylinderMesh = new THREE.Mesh( cylinder, material );
var cylinderCSG = toCSG( cylinderMesh ); // converting ThreeJS object to CSG

//result
var subtractCSG = sphereCSG.subtract( cylinderCSG );
var result = fromCSG(subtractCSG); // converting CSG back into ThreeJS object

result.geometry.computeVertexNormals();

scene.add( result );
