Scripting Examples
Mounting Plate with Holes
// Create base plate
base = CREATE RECTANGLE ORIGIN 0 0 0 SIZE 200 150
CREATE PRISM SECTION $base LENGTH 5
// Create a corner hole
hole = CREATE CIRCLE CENTER 15 15 0 RADIUS 3 NORMAL 0 0 1
CREATE PRISM SECTION $hole LENGTH 5
// Create opposite corner hole
hole2 = CREATE CIRCLE CENTER 185 15 0 RADIUS 3 NORMAL 0 0 1

// Create remaining corner holes
hole3 = CREATE CIRCLE CENTER 185 135 0 RADIUS 3 NORMAL 0 0 1
CREATE PRISM SECTION $hole3 LENGTH 5
hole4 = CREATE CIRCLE CENTER 15 135 0 RADIUS 3 NORMAL 0 0 1

CREATE PRISM SECTION $base LENGTH 60
// Create feature hole
hole = CREATE CIRCLE CENTER 25 0 0 RADIUS 5 NORMAL 1 0 0
CREATE PRISM SECTION $hole LENGTH 60
// Create additional holes at different angles

Wire Frame Structure
// Create vertical lines
line1 = CREATE LINE FROM 0 0 0 TO 0 0 100
line2 = CREATE LINE FROM 100 0 0 TO 100 0 100
line3 = CREATE LINE FROM 100 100 0 TO 100 100 100
line4 = CREATE LINE FROM 0 100 0 TO 0 100 100
// Create base rectangle
base1 = CREATE LINE FROM 0 0 0 TO 100 0 0
base2 = CREATE LINE FROM 100 0 0 TO 100 100 0
base3 = CREATE LINE FROM 100 100 0 TO 0 100 0
base4 = CREATE LINE FROM 0 100 0 TO 0 0 0
// Create top rectangle
top1 = CREATE LINE FROM 0 0 100 TO 100 0 100
top2 = CREATE LINE FROM 100 0 100 TO 100 100 100
top3 = CREATE LINE FROM 100 100 100 TO 0 100 100

Text-to-CAD Examples
Simple Bracket
"Create an L-shaped bracket that is 100mm tall and 75mm wide,
with a thickness of 8mm. Add four 6mm mounting holes,
positioned 10mm from each edge."
Electronics Housing
"Create a rectangular box 200mm long, 150mm wide, and 50mm tall.
Add ventilation holes 5mm in diameter arranged in a grid pattern
on the top surface. Space the holes 15mm apart."
Machine Part
"Create a cylindrical shaft 100mm long and 30mm in diameter.
Add a 5mm deep groove around the middle, 3mm wide.
At each end, create a 10mm long section reduced to 25mm diameter."
Mounting System
"Design a wall mount consisting of a 150mm by 150mm square plate,
8mm thick. Create four countersunk holes for M6 screws in the corners,
20mm from the edges. In the center, add a cylindrical boss 40mm in
diameter and 25mm tall."
When using the scripting interface, break down complex shapes into simple commands
and use variables to store intermediate results for reuse.
Combining Approaches
Text-First, Script-Refined
- Start with text description:
"Create a cylindrical container 100mm tall and 80mm in diameter
with regularly spaced vertical reinforcement ribs"
- Refine with scripting:
// Create main cylinder
base = CREATE CIRCLE CENTER 0 0 0 RADIUS 40 NORMAL 0 0 1
CREATE PRISM SECTION $base LENGTH 100
// Add reinforcement rib
rib = CREATE RECTANGLE ORIGIN 40 -2.5 0 SIZE 5 5
CREATE PRISM SECTION $rib LENGTH 100
// Create additional ribs at different angles
rib2 = CREATE RECTANGLE ORIGIN -45 -2.5 0 SIZE 5 5
CREATE PRISM SECTION $rib2 LENGTH 100
rib3 = CREATE RECTANGLE ORIGIN -2.5 40 0 SIZE 5 5
CREATE PRISM SECTION $rib3 LENGTH 100
rib4 = CREATE RECTANGLE ORIGIN -2.5 -45 0 SIZE 5 5
CREATE PRISM SECTION $rib4 LENGTH 100
