1. Clone this repository or download the project files.
2. Navigate to the project root directory in your terminal.
3. Start a local web server. For example, if you have Python installed:
   • For Python 3.x: python -m http.server 8000
   • For Python 2.x: python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
4. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8000

Usage

1. Use the drawing tools to create a 2D shape.
2. Click the "Extrude" button to create a 3D shape.
3. Use the toolbar buttons to switch between different modes:
   • Home View: Reset the camera to the initial position
   • Move: Toggle translation and rotation mode
   • Edit Vertices: Enter vertex editing mode
4. In Move mode:
   • Press 'T' for translation
   • Press 'R' for rotation
