Looking for Beta Testers – Try Out OnDisplay!

stephanos_androutsellis346 · May 1

Hi everyone,

We’re excited to introduce OnDisplay, a new integrated cloud app that allows you to select some of your Onshape models, and with a single click it renders them into animated, editable showrooms that you can then share with the world. It’s a simple way to showcase your work interactively - you can add your showrooms to your portfolio, share them with clients or collaborators, post them on social media, etc.

You can check out a 1 minute teaser video here: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/1079702640

We're gearing up for launch and looking for Onshape users willing to give it a quick test run. In return, you'll get a few months of free access when we go live (and maybe even a T-shirt - we’re working on it! :-) ).

If you're interested, comment below or shoot us an email at info@ondisplay.design and we’ll get you early access.

Thank you very much!

P.S. If this isn’t the right place to post this, apologies! Let us know and we’ll move it.

@EvanReese , @Ste_Wilson , or anybody else, if you'd like to send me an email at info@ondisplay.design I'd love to grant you "back stage access" to OnDisplay so you can try it out and give me any feedback, I'd really appreciate that!
Thanks!

I just sent an email to request testing out your program. I hope it will improve the way we pitch our program and services. Thanks for the opportunity.

Thank you all! As you saw the first 2 days of Beta testing have been a little hectic, a few little things came up, some we fixed already, some we need a helping hand from Onshape to address, and some are work in progress. So thank you for your patience!

Another update is live! Briefly:

Grounding models: The models are now grounded firmly, and we also added a strong shadow to emphasize this. See for example:

Pagination for loading more documents
Fix for missing parts during loading large models
Improved color picker that remembers last color choice
Database saving now works fine

Thank you all for the invaluable input! We're working on more stuff, will keep you posted! Also T-shirts are being designed for our testers! :-)

Hi all,

One more update (v0.1.3 Beta) is live, and it's pretty big :-). In this new version:

We load colors from Onshape (at last!)
Ground plane can be added or removed, and the model is located on it precisely
New, improved automatic calculation of explosion directions, keeping the largest part in the model fixed
Selected objects remain selected after you assign colors or materials
... and a lot more!

This 1 minute video explains!

We're still working on these two items, but we hope to crack them very soon:

Loading parts from linked documents
Loading composite parts

Thank you, and stay tuned!

Aaaand…. yet another update!

We finally got rid of a lurking bug that showed up only with big models. This was a nasty one.
We made scaling models accept a larger range (from 1/10 to 10) and as models scale, their bases remain grounded on the floor plane.
Improved performance!
Some more fixes here and there, some colors, better positioning of the camera, etc.

See short video!

We're now looking into composite parts, probably the last nut to crack before we go live...

Thanks!

Stephanos
