I'll implement a texture upload feature that allows users to apply custom textures to 3D models. This will enhance the material editor with the ability to upload, preview, and apply textures to different material properties.

I've implemented a comprehensive texture upload system for your 3D models that integrates seamlessly with your existing AGILE Beaker app. This feature allows researchers and admins to apply custom textures to their 3D models, enhancing visualization capabilities.

Key Features Added

1. Texture Upload Component

   • Support for uploading common image formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP, SVG)
   • Visual preview of uploaded textures
   • File validation for type and size
   • Error handling for failed uploads

2. Multiple Texture Types

   • Color maps (replace the base color)
   • Normal maps (add surface detail without extra geometry)
   • Roughness maps (control surface smoothness)
   • Metalness maps (define metallic areas)

3. Texture Mapping Controls

   • Adjust texture repeat (tiling)
   • Control texture offset (positioning)
   • Set texture rotation
   • All changes update in real-time

4. Enhanced Material Editor

   • New "Textures" tab alongside manual controls and presets
   • Intuitive interface for selecting texture types
   • Proper cleanup of textures to prevent memory leaks
   • Helpful tips for users on texture usage

5. Integration with Existing System

   • Respects role-based permissions
   • Maintains compatibility with material presets
   • Preserves all existing functionality

How It Works

1. Users select a material from the dropdown
2. They click the "Textures" tab in the material editor
3. They choose which type of texture to apply (color, normal, roughness, metalness)
4. They upload an image file or drag and drop it onto the uploader
5. The texture is immediately applied to the model
6. They can adjust mapping controls to fine-tune how the texture appears

This implementation provides a powerful yet user-friendly way to enhance 3D models with custom textures, making it especially valuable for scientific visualization in your genomics and oncology applications.

Adding 3D Measurement Tools

I'll implement comprehensive measurement tools that allow users to measure distances and angles in 3D models, which is particularly valuable for scientific and medical applications.

3D Measurement Tools Implementation

I've implemented comprehensive measurement tools for your 3D models that allow researchers and scientists to accurately measure distances and angles within molecular structures and other 3D models.

Key Features

Distance Measurements

• Precisely measure the distance between any two points in 3D space
• Distances automatically display in appropriate units (mm, cm, m)
• Interactive measurement points that can be repositioned via drag and drop
• Visual line indicators connecting measurement points

Angle Measurements

• Measure angles between any three points in 3D space
• Angles displayed in degrees with visual arc indicators
• Fully interactive angle points that can be repositioned
• Perfect for analyzing molecular bonds and structural relationships

Measurement Management

• Create, edit, rename, and delete measurements
• Toggle between distance and angle measurement modes
• Clear all measurements with a single click
• Collapsible measurement panel for unobstructed model viewing

User Interface

• Intuitive controls for adding and managing measurements
• Color-coded measurements for easy identification
• Detailed instructions for users
• Seamless integration with existing model viewer

How It Works

1. Click the "Show Measurement Tools" button to activate the measurement panel
2. Select either "Distance" or "Angle" measurement type
3. Click on the model to place measurement points
4. Drag points to adjust measurements as needed
5. Measurements update in real-time as points are moved
6. Rename measurements for better organization
7. Toggle the panel to minimize it when not in use

This implementation is particularly valuable for scientific applications where precise measurements are critical, such as analyzing molecular structures, protein folding, or anatomical models. The tools respect your existing role-based permissions system and integrate seamlessly with the other features of your 3D viewer.
