Can I work on an online Ldraw program? - Brickboy22 - 2024-02-04

I've recently been working on a Lego modeling web program code named "GR8BRIK". I would like to add the Ldraw parts library to it, but #1: have no permission and #2: have no know way of embedding it. The websites in Alpha/Beta and is going to use a ThreeJS based renderer, along with a simple PHP and JS instruction maker. I already got a good web layout and Login system, again, I just need a parts library.

Hey Brickboy22, 

Three.js has an Ldraw loader:

Am I free to use it though? The creator of the LdrawLoader may not  want me to use it.

Three.js is MIT licensed so you're free to use it as long as you follow the license.

There's also buildinginstructions.js (another Three.js LDR loader) which we use here on LDraw.org and is public domain.

That's cool. I'll be sure to include at least part of both ThreeJS frameworks Wink . In the mean time, I'll be working on upgrading my existing version (don't even ask, I wrote it long ago in my programming...)
