Warning: self promotion ahead, but you've asked for it.
I built a company around this [0], but it's not open source, and I haven't exposed the dev platform to the public yet, and might only expose it to licensed partners.
It is a platform to create online 3d configurators for consumers and sales, driven by scripted templates that generate 3d components according to some configuration... Currently I'm leveraging webpack hot reloading, but an online IDE is on the roadmap for next year.
There are a lot of caveats in designing such a system, especially if you want to keep the performance top notch on mobile, and you want to have a modern dev experience.
The biggest value however is in the 3d components itself: simple components that compose well and allow you to build basically anything in a few days if you know what you need...
If I'd need to build it from scratch now (almost a decade later), I could probably build a cleaner, better performing platform in a couple of months in deep crunch mode.
However, if you have never done this before, it might take quite a few mistakes and a lot of refactoring before you get it right. (During the first 2 years I rebuilt the core 5 times because I had yet another use case that didn't fit in the models customers were asking for.)
If you are serious and have lots of houses to design, I might be able to help.
TBH the current website and the configurators on it are old and need some love, but if you want to see a good example of a client leveraging this tool, check this link [1], and click on 3d design.
Upfront: it's not cheap.
