How to trigger a render from inside the script sent to the web worker.

[mmiscool]

I have a timer that I want to run after a 30 seconds that adds a new body.
The console.log() is triggered with the setTimeout function but I won't see the second shape unless I hit evaluate.

  var box;
  var newbox;

async function dothisAfterLoaingUpThecode(){
   box    =  Translate([0, 0, 20],  Box(100, 50, 10, true));
  if (Checkbox("Loft?", true)){ box =   FilletEdges(box,3,[6]) };
  setTimeout(func, 30 * 1000);
}


const func = () => {
  console.log("doing the fillet");
  newbox = Translate([0, 0, 20],FilletEdges(box,4,[8]));
//Need to trigger a re render after the new fillet is made.
};
dothisAfterLoaingUpThecode();

console.log("hello world");

Unfortunately, this whole pipeline wasn't written with async in mind.

If you're trying to retrieve a library over the internet, I've hacked it in a PR branch as a blocking XMLHttpRequest.

If you're feeling evil, calling this may trigger a re-render...
