Is it possible to change the default view?

Hi, When i generate in cadquery code the view differs from the freecad view. Is it possible to adjust the perspective of the panes? Re-assign (1) the views of the panes to my preferred axis Re-assign (2) the iso view default coordinates

Currently i have to rotate the object to get the same behavior as in FreeCad. It works, but everytime i resize the window i have to click and drag to get the view correct and see the front. This generates a lot lot more click and i would like to prevent that. Or are there some other ideas how i might solve this?

(Everytime i move the window, or do a change, or re-render it… i have to rotate the object with the mouse again)

Code Sample:

import cadquery as cq
from cq_server.ui import UI, show_object


height = 150.0
width = 50.0
depth = 100.0

r = cq.Workplane("front").box(width,height,depth)

r = r + cq.Workplane('top').text("YX / Top", 8, (height / 2) + 1)
r = r + cq.Workplane('bottom').text("XY / Bottom", 8, (height / 2) + 1)
r = r + cq.Workplane('front').text("ZX / Front", 8, (depth / 2) + 1)
r = r + cq.Workplane('back').text("XZ / Back", 8, (depth / 2) + 1)
r = r + cq.Workplane('left').text("ZY / Left", 8, (width / 2) + 1)
r = r + cq.Workplane('right').text("YZ / Right", 8, (width / 2) + 1)

r = r.rotate((0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0), 90)
r = r.rotate((0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 180), 0)
show_object(r)

Let’s keep it open to track points 2 and 3.

For the future, the dependencies are:

jupyter-cadquery --> cad-viewer-widget --\
                                          |--> three-cad-viewer
cadquery-server -------------------------/

jupyter-cadquery, cad-viewer-widget and three-cad-viewer are my projects, cadquery-server is maintained by @roipoussiere. I’d recommend to always first open an issue with cadquery-server since much of the logic “around” the viewer component is implemented there.

@snapo From the screenshot I derive, you are using cadquery-server, right? Jupyter-Cadquery shares the viewer (three-cad-viewer), however has nothing to do with cadquery-server.

Nevertheless, I think, these are three issues:

1. Resizing browser window resets camera => needs to be fixed by cadquery-server
2. A different camera position for the isometric view
3. Swap back/front with left/right orientation button view to align with cadquery workplanes

Point 1 seems to be on the roadmap https://github.com/roipoussiere/cadquery-server/issues/37 Point 2 and 3 I will look into in the next release. It is an issue in three-cad-viewer, however bubbles up to Jupyter Cadquery
