I'm looking to create a website that would take in userform data -> update a cad model on the server with the data -> create a scene with the model and return that to be displayed on the website.
I've been scripting with visual basic to control the cad program to do what I want but what other software should I use to get the other various parts done?
So far I've concluded that I require:
HTML, CSS and THREE.JS for the website
VBA for the scripting (using solidworks and blender API for the CAD and Scene Display)
I'm wondering if I'm wasting my time with VBA and if I should switch to VB.NET or another high-level language to do all of my server-side multiple program calls from one place.
For example if I made a balloon website. The user would specify number of balloons, color and sizes then click generate.
That information would be passed to my cad program. Generate the model and colors, then passed to a 3d creation program to display it in a scene then output that scene to the website for 3d viewing.
Any help would be awesome as I'm getting a little defeated trying to figure out what the best way forward is given my level of understanding.
