OpenForge Catalog 0.3.0: Blueprints

Added 2025-04-30 14:47:36 +0000 UTC

I've been hard at work this month on an update for the openforge catalog that I'm really excited about. This month I've added blueprints. This was thing I designed the whole site around being able to serve. It's become confusing as to what parts you need to build the tile you want, well, that's where blueprints come in. These allow you to select the type of thing you want to make and get an interface that lets you pick and choose each part needed to make the final object. So in the image above, I wanted to make a 2x2 wall on tile using S2W. It let me select a wall, a floor and a base. Best part is, it will restrict the remaining parts when you've selected one of them based on pieces that are compatible. So for example, when I selected the 2 inch wide wall above, it only offered me floors that were 2 inches wide. I then selected the 2x2 floor, and that restricted the bases to only 2x2 bases. You can find this in the new "Blueprints" tab up top.

Further, this can be used for selecting parts for an object that needs multiple pieces, as you can see above with the grate wall.

The really cool part? When you hit download, it will download all the stls for you (though be sure to click the allow button that chrome pops up asking you if you want to allow the site to download multiple files, it can sometimes be hard to see).

There are a few other fixes:

There's just been a bunch of layout work to make the whole site a little less jumbled
The deeplinks to parts or to a set of tags now works more smoothly

0.3.0 of the OpenForge Catalog is live in staging now, give it a test and let me know what you think!
