Teardown enables technical educators and designers to build interactive 3D lessons of machinery, such as engines or gearboxes. It converts complex mechanisms into single-page offline HTML simulators featuring exploded views, cutaways, and subsystem controls.
The tool allows users to create guided tours of a machine's operation, which can then be recorded as high-frame-rate video with synced procedural scores to demonstrate how a mechanism works visually rather than descriptively.
Follow the documented setup, then try a first task.

Uses teardown
Use the teardown skill to build the included v8-live example as one offline HTML page. Tell me where to open the result and how to explore its cutaway modes, cylinder picker, and live charts.
