Fault:
Axis in html model shows incorrectly:
vertical axis - shown as green (should be blue)x-axis - shown as blue (should be green
The Look Around option (tick box) when selected
does not seem to function correctly.It does not allow any easier way of navigating the model,
It makes it impossible to get into the model.Suggestion:
Lights selection options slider data box.
I suggest having the option to "revert back to original settings"
This will allow experimenting and then to exit the model with the original settings.All in all a very good start for a potentially useful plugin.
Thanks again T2H.

H2H,
I suggest adding the phrase "3d Viewer" to your title,
or 3d Model Viewer.At present the title does not indicate what your extension does.
I think more members would review your post if it indicated
that it is a 3d Model Viewer using their web browser.All the best to everyone for the New Year.

Comments after testing T2H_EXPORT_WEBGL (viewer)
using Win 7 on a PC.1. Look Around (feature)
This is for inside closed small spaces. (do not use for external views - frustrating)
When in an enclosed space use "Look Around" to explore the elements designed2. Access to SU2WebGL viewer can be from any computer with
access to internet and the "files" stored in the Cloud (e.g. Dropbox etc)3. SU2WebGL viewer offers an improved level of "copyright security" over the 3d model.
This is of course relative but in comparison to issuing PDF files or dwg etc files from
proprietary software it makes it harder to copy. (at least this is my current understanding)4. Use of "Scenes" is helpful for the recipient of the file(s) as a client or a work colleague
as it assists in "virtual communication" (skype etc)If a scene is taken with the "parallel camera and roof top view" the Z section shows the
plans with x-y in 90 degrees.5. Display of textures varies relative to the position of the viewer. Move in close to the model
and it is quite reasonable. This hopefully will improve with later versions.6. SU2WebGL viewer is simple to use and will allow quick access to a the 3d Model for external, internal, sectional, and plan views.
I find it is a helpful tool that can aid communication.
Future Features.
Some form of markup would be very helpful to aid in communication.
At present I use screen captures that are then marked up.I look forward to the next version.

Just bumping this "Plugin" up the list.
Title does not tell what it can do so I have added a
Note with clearer title.
3d Model Viewer (FREE Plugin) using your browser -
Extreme useful! Very good work Tak2hata!
Tested in IE11, Google Chrome, Firefox - in IE11 - all black...
Chrome & Firefox good - some transparent materials with textures don't work (PNG-files).
Functions like Zoom All or Zoom Borders would be helpful because then running out of the window the model is difficult to bring back.

I enjoyed the plugin! I am even testing with some customers and the main complaint so far is the difficulty of navigation and mouse control. But the idea is fantastic, with little improvement will become essential!
Here's an example:

amazing Tak2hata. This looks like a viable alternative to 3d pdfs. and thanks to Jef.Coelho for the tradestand web example. This'll be fantastic for web presentations.
Will (or is it possible) to have layer on/off control?
Is it possible to set navigation constraints so that for instance a viewer can only navigate a model along certain paths, or only go around the outside etc? I'm thinking of where one sends this to a client and ensuring they only see a defined set of possible views.

Here's an example:
http://www.jefcoelho.com/scamplastic/Could not get the example to work in IE 11 (it never showed up). It did work in both Chrome and MS Edge. In both of those instances, movement was pretty jerky even if I changed the Walk Thru speed.
Additional comments/observations:
- In the example, the model did not seem to be centered so that when I tried to orbit (left mouse button - I assume), I could never seem to get to the back.
- The axis shown in the model did not conform to what I see in SU. In SU, the vertical axis is the blue line, red axis is the horizontal axis and green is the "depth" axis. None of those confirm to what I saw in the sample model.
I think this is a start in the right direction though.......look forward to see where this ends up.
OK - I just tried again in IE 11 and it finally showed up but as soon as I clicked on it, it disappeared again
-
Despite not knowing programming, offer help in any way possible, tests may .. It would be nice to see that perfect plugin!

@faust07 it would be nice to see a link to this so we could view it in our browser (not a jpg image).
-
@faust07.
IE10 higher supports Webgl.In chrome,the texture image is not supported in local storage.
So use "as JS file" option of texture export.
Or place all of them in network storage.The transparency is enabled When the Alpha value of pixel is 50% higher.
Thanks. -
Now it works fine in Firefox. The non-transparent textures were caused by my mistake. The opacity of the materials with Alpha-PNG-textures must be at least 98% (not 100%).
Don't know how to set IE and Chrome to get a good result... In IE the whole viewport is black and in chrome most of the materials are black.

After reducing the html-file to the limits (2 MB) with the help of "Texture Resizer" (Plugin by Aerilius) I realized that it isn't allowed to post html-files (and there was a big viral-warning). Sorry, I have no website to post a link. I only wanted to test the reproduction of the plant materials (it should not be an example of sophisticated architecture ...). And it works fine in Firefox, Chrome and IE11 now. In IE11 I have no menu but I think its a question of preferences. As mentioned before, this is a fine solution to communicate models with clients. This will be tested next. A zoom-limits function in the menu would be great, because the models often runs out of the viewport.
The scene-select function is great!
Thanks again TAK2HATA!
-
if you zip the html file it should upload and open in the local browser after download...

Here it is (.html in the .zip). Thanks driven for the advice!
It would be great, if someone could test it in IE11.

not IE but, runs ok on Safari, a little jerky quite presentable...
