This has a lot of potential. I'd seriously consider using it.

This is a great idea, me too. 

I've spent some time building website (www.sammilligandesign.com).  I think this has huge potential - Especially in the web development area.  If I could use illustrator to design a website instead of photoshop, and have all lines stay clean despite how far people zoom in - it would be huge.  How did you do it?

Oops didn't see this until now.

Samuel, if you want to do it on your own site I used this plugin and modified it a bit: https://github.com/jackmoore/wheelzoom

Thecyclist: The pdf thing was one of the reasons I built this. PDF plugins are really slow at parsing vector files and you can't zoom the way architects normally do in Rhino or CAD. 

This is pretty interesting, with the proper media I am sure it will improve the way we view CAD drawings on the web.

Keep up!

The site is requiring an email address without giving a place to enter it, so it's not possible to sign up.

Thanks placebeyond should work now. I'll upload some drawings that I made during my MArch later tonight to make sure everything else works also.

Still broken.

Had a few hours tonight to finish debugging, from my end sign up should work.

Also I added a few drawings to stress test the capabilities of the app. The LOT-EK drawing is about 3mb but seems to struggle a bit rendering at a high FPS rate. But the other drawings have a lot of lines and seem to render pretty well. Curious what others are interested in uploading.

So this is just a gallery of drawings? This would be infinitely more useful if we could embed the zoomable images into our own sites. Not interested in contributing content to your site for free.

just use that github repository for your own site.  or find the html5 alternative online.

I would, but I don't know the modifications @moeamaya made, nor do I know how to make them. If he/she wanted to make the modified one available, that would be far preferable.

Actually the modification is very minor has more to do with being able to link someone to a zoomed in particular part of a drawing. For your use case, the default library should be perfect. 

Placebeyondthesplines feel free to email me jamaya . at . mit . edu  I can help you set it up on your own site. Or if more people want it, I can put up on github a blank sample site that you can just download and tweak to your needs.

I've been experimenting with something similar. I think this is the preferable way to display drawings on the web especially if you are reluctant to use PDFs for fear of your work being stolen. 

Excellent work. Looks great. Renders much better than PDF, plus intuitive controls. I'll take a look at the original repo.

Thanks for posting, keep it up!

The github idea is a great one. I think a lot of people would appreciate it.
