It's interesting how they expose the different renderers in the drop-down menu. Some of them work great while others seem to have the same issue as your demo (implying lacking support). You might want to make a similar option available. > If you check its all options carefully, you will see it has almost > everything what I recently proposed in wireframe layouts. Actually, I see LOTS of irrelevant features that add complexity but provide no value for a CAD interface. This is exactly why there is content creation modeling software like Maya and 3D Studio and solid modeling software like Solidworks, NX, and CATIA. They are not at all interchangeable. Simple content creation geometry editors are a dime a dozen. They're easy and irrelevant. Working on a generic content modeling editor is not at all interesting or useful in our domain. The promise of your project is an interface that will specifically pertain to solid modeling. Just because it lets you display and move a 3D model around does mean the interface is relevant or useful. Our domain is focused on engineering principles. We have complexity of our own that must be presented as best possible. They are competing requirements and too much complexity is involved. > Moreover, it is > being actively developed / enhanced by ThreeJS developers so it will > be very easy to keep adding more features to our interface time to > time. I doubt it will be feasible to REMOVE the irrelevant features. Features that are specific to the content creation domain should not be in our interface. Using that work as a foundation for building an interface is fine. Making it be the same interface or one with additions is unacceptable. > I wish to use this as web interface for this project.

I would rather see something more minimal that is more inline with what your mock-ups originally proposed.
