Updating a 3d picture from ejss5 to ejss6

The included zip file contains two pictures 3d-ejss5.png and 3d-ejss6.png.  The zip file also contains the files from exporting the javascript simulation that made the second picture.  I would like the stripped_down.ejss simulation to reproduce the way the 3d-ejss5 picture looks.  The code to make the older one included an option on the 3d drawing panel that allowed one to specific the location of the camera viewing the 3d object.  This option is not present in the ejss6.   I tried in the attached simulation to accomplish this with css code.  Specifically I tried perspective and perspective_origin in the css field of the 3d panel but even though the simulation showed no errors, the display did not change in any way.  This website (https://3dtransforms.desandro.com/perspective) has an example near the bottom that does what I want but I have failed to figure out how to do this in EJSS.

Thanks for any and all help




(ps. using css code to transform, did change the display but it basically this only change the display as if it was flat.  If you specify a rotation of 90 degrees in about the y axis, the picture disappears because you are looking edge on to the flattened 3d picture.)

I should have thought to try this before posting.  The alt and azimuth angles should be in degrees!

I attached a new zip file that actually does what I wanted just in case this helps other non-experts.

One comment though is that I might have found this without experimentation if this page in the docs was not password protected?  Why? Can anybody provide the password?  The 2D page can be helpful, but without the password the promise of help with 3d is just a heavy sigh.

Hi Paul,
There is no read password to the documentation.
Whenever the password is requested, the semanas that the page does not exist. The system then asks for a write permission password.

PS: Sorry. I should have answered this question...
