All this is in the TODO list but when OGV was started, research took significant efforts that forced to shrink the focus. But now, we have probably many developers interested in this project so I can expect above mentioned and many more features in OGV in coming days. :) > That was all about viewing, for editing we can provide initially > an ability to add mged commands through browser and edit the model > they are viewing.

Earlier when OGV started lot of discussion about editing feature took place. Currently, lot of work related to viewing is pending that I think must be targeted first to make it stable, fully functional and user friendly "BRL-CAD Online Geometry Viewer". For editing feature, I think Sean can guide in much better way, like how to proceed, where to start etc. > > I have this and more in my mind but was afraid to share as I > already have my previous work pending (website, blog and wiki) :P .

Everybody is welcomed to contribute in BRL-CAD even by means of suggestions. :) > @deepak, @harman @anyone-who's-working-on-OGV > Tell me what you think about these points and together we may work on it. Your points are interested and worth to be discussed. Yes we all need to work in coordination to make it best. I am very happy to see people interested to work on OGV. -- Harmanpreet Singh Blog: http://singhharman.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
