previewOpen:->
window.location.href="#/preview"
window.setTimeout(@openView(@uuid),500)

openView:(uuid) ->
$("#design_parts").empty();
console.log("done emptying...");
console.log(uuid)
view= new Embellishment.Views.DP.Preview({uid:uuid} )
$('#design_parts').html(view.render().el)

Any help is appreciated.
