    Hi cesarecaoduro,

    Power BI visuals are not set up for async operations by default. Looks like threejs might require this, so this can be mitigated by adding regenerator-runtime to your project.

    From the command line in your project's root folder (assuming you're using npm for package management), run the following:

    npm i regenerator-runtime

    At the top of your visual.ts, add an import, similar to the following:

    import 'core-js/stable';
import 'regenerator-runtime/runtime';  /* <---- add this line */
import '../style/visual.less';

    Re-run pbiviz start and this particular error should go away when you re-initialise your visual.

    Regards,

    Daniel

dm-p just on the same topic, do you think would be a feasable option to run a tiny local webserver that serves those file and manages the upload?

This way I can create an aspnet core webapi and package that in a selfcontained server that gets installed on the user machine.
