    With the web interaction, when someone creates the customization they want, how will the data be submitted, stored, or downloaded configuration data?

    My two cents…

    This is a very important question and one often overlooked by verge 3d developers until the verge application is almost complete and it should have been the first question asked before building the application.

    The answer will depend on the data you are wanting to send and how important that data is to your client. It will also depend on the sensitivity of the information, does it include personally identifiable information? It will also depend on what country the application will run in and what the local laws are for the various states or regions of that country. Some of the biggest issues to overcome are GDPR, CPAA, HIPAA, etc. if those apply to your needs. It will also depend on your project budget on how best to proceed and the risk vs reward you are willing to take. Lastly, it will depend on the webserver architecture your application is running on.

    Many v3d devs are using a browser-based PDF plugin and sending their PDFs to themselves via email or sending them to the webserver to be downloaded later.

    Alternatively, you could write puzzles to collect your data and send it in text format via the send data puzzle.

    From a professional standpoint, none of these would be considered great options which is why it’s so important to ask the question sooner than later.

    A professional approach would be to use the web server’s ability to capture the data and if necessary create a PDF. This data could be stored in a database and managed separately or integrated with other ordering and/or communication systems.

    Since most countries now have some form of requirement to allow the end-user to request that all their data be removed from a site by request, you don’t want the data processes of your application to be different than the existing processes of your client so they should be tied into the same database structure.

    Most CMS systems have built in tools or options via plugins.
    But the safest and most secure method is to build your own. The last thing you want are bots hitting the configurator and sending a bunch of junk.

    Thank you so much for your answer. How to download configured data as a simple 3D artist? I don’t know any kind of programming. All I need is for someone to configure a product so that they can only download the configured data to themselves. As we can take a screenshot.

    You may want to use the CyberFox pdf plug-in
