More exasperated than offended. I’ve asked around on the forums before on this topic and usually gotten a response that there is a simple way to do this but no one actually tells me what it is.
Thanks for referring this on, and I hope I haven’t offended you either.
2021-10-09 at 12:38 pm in reply to: Programmer to help get data to and from AirTable, Webflow CMS or Google Sheets #46022johngrigniCustomerI’d like to point out that in several of my posts I’ve asked for a cost. What I’m putting together is an estimate to produce the proof-of-concept. I apologize if that was not clear. I may not be a programmer but I’m not an idiot; I’ve been in business for over twenty years. And I’m not asking you to provide anything for free but an estimate for how much it would cost.
As for the alternate solution you just described, saving a JSON or CSV to the web server, that would be the less appealing solution since:
1 – Airtable and similar services already have a good UI for accessing the data on the backend
2 – the client can use Zapier to further extend what they do with the data
3 – it would require server side scripting like PHP or NodeJS, so I couldn’t demo it on the Verge3D NetworkSo I’m asking again, can you provide a cost for the code necessary to create, read, update, and delete records on a service like Airtable from Verge3D given that the person trying to implement it has very very limited coding experience?
2021-10-08 at 3:44 pm in reply to: Programmer to help get data to and from AirTable, Webflow CMS or Google Sheets #46015johngrigniCustomerI have considered that. The only drawback is that it doesn’t work if you change computers or browsers.
2021-10-08 at 12:19 pm in reply to: Programmer to help get data to and from AirTable, Webflow CMS or Google Sheets #46012johngrigniCustomerThanks for helping me understand the complications of data collection. I apologize for my ignorance; there’s a reason I use no-code/low-code solutions as often as I can.
The address would be the shipping address chosen by the end-user for the installation of the fabricated product – it could be their shop or it could be the home where it is being installed or even a third party contractor.
If necessary I could push that off to their ordering system and not worry about it for this proof-of-concept demo, just collect sizes and finishes in a way they can revisit later. If my client likes the demo I can worry about sending data to their system, and that would need it’s own estimate for cost. I will get in touch with him to see what he says about their system, but I still need an idea how much the proof-of-concept demo will cost.
So if you think Airtable is the easiest to implement, how much would it cost? Would this be a general solution, or would it have to be entirely re-written for a each use-case that still used Airtable? I’m not a programmer (obviously) so I don’t know what is involved in “a simple Get/Post to submit the data.” I know the Send Data puzzle uses a Post http request, so I guess that’s half of it there.
I would prefer that whatever you make be as flexible as possible, even to the point of sharing it with the community here either as a tutorial/example, or even a plug-in.
2021-10-08 at 1:58 am in reply to: Programmer to help get data to and from AirTable, Webflow CMS or Google Sheets #46008johngrigniCustomerIt’s measurements and various product data, finishes, maybe an address and project name, along with a user ID. That would be linked to a table with an email address for the user, not sure what else specifically.
johngrigniCustomerThis sounds like a great idea for some use cases! I’m glad it’s finally available!
The saved data is browser specific, correct? If the user went to use the app on a different computer, or even a different browser, would they have access to saved data?
johngrigniCustomerIt occurs to me that some plug-in to integrate with Zapier would do the same thing, but that definitely doesn’t sound any easier to build.
johngrigniCustomerThank you again! That did the trick. Your technical help is, as always, awesome!
johngrigniCustomerI reduced the textures to 512×512 or smaller, still not working. It’s very frustrating. If you can’t help, I’ll just try eliminating meshes until something works, I guess.
johngrigniCustomerOkay, I’ve reduced all the textures to 1024×1024 or smaller, eliminated a large number of them, and tried again. Same problem. I even made sure to remove all website data to soft8soft in my iPhone settings.
New link to look at the app:

2021-09-04 at 12:00 pm in reply to: How to forward “clicked” information from 3D to HTML html element? #44283johngrigniCustomerWhen the ability to craft add-ons was implemented, I was really hoping someone would tackle this problem, but I don’t think developers see ‘how to get data from an API’ as a problem, so they don’t think to make an add-on, or even a tutorial.
Since Soft8Soft specifically recommends Webflow for building an html ui, I’m sure more others have come across this before.
That said, I’d be keenly interested in anything you find.
2021-09-04 at 11:45 am in reply to: How to forward “clicked” information from 3D to HTML html element? #44280johngrigniCustomerYou would have to use the ‘Send Data’ puzzle to make a request from the Webflow API, and in the ‘once ready’ slot have some way of interpreting the response using the ‘Loaded Data’ puzzle, but that is just a starting point. Frankly if you figure it out I’d love to see how you do it.
johngrigniCustomerAgreed! Thank you Jeremy! Though I’d like to make this a formal feature request for working with tabs, along with the ability to rename and reorder them.
johngrigniCustomerUnfortunately, the problem is when you paste the new procedure in, it get’s renamed with a number 2 on the end, and it isn’t linked to any of the triggers. It’s a real pain to find them all and retarget them all by hand, which is easier to do when they still exist, as opposed to when they simply disappear.
