Step-by-step guides for building on ShapeDiver: preparing Grasshopper definitions for the cloud, App Builder, the Viewer, and the APIs, and the mistakes worth avoiding.
We’re taking the next big step in our open-source journey: the ShapeDiver 3D Viewer is now fully public on GitHub! Discover why we’re opening the hood on our WebGL engine, how it completes our stack alongside the App Builder SDK, and what full-stack transparency means for your parametric web apps.
