Ability to specify joints in source SVG file

[objectiveSee]

Hello! Just discovered this wonderful tool and am excited to use it for a laser cut box project. My "box" is not a standard shape and has many sides (see image). I generated this SVG file by writing Javascript code and the makerjs npm module. I was wondering if you have any tips for how I can automate the job of matching up my joints by programmatically specifying them. Is there any special syntax or naming convention that I could use when generating the SVG in order to specify which pieces join to which pieces? I took a look at the JSON of a .joinery file and it does seem possible.

Thanks!

Hi again!

Thanks for your interest in this. I have not had the chance to experiment with maker.js but it looks really relevant and interesting.

Joints are generated and added to the SVG file structure as separate paths so the system always has the original path intact. You are correct; you can use JSON objects to define joints. If you are interested I can spend some time working this out with you--just not immediately at the moment as I am busy with other projects.

Thanks, I made a fair amount of progress yesterday with programmatically generating a .joinery file (successfully). I like how the .svg file is embedded inside JSON! I need to put this on hold however until I can verify whether Joinery can support the types of joints mentioned in #12.
