vscode-ocp-cad-viewer

This feature technically already exists in build123d + OCP CAD Viewer (ocp_vscode). You can click a feature in GUI and it will copy the index to clipboard, you can then apply e.g. fillets to it on the code side. See here https://github.com/bernhard-42/vscode-ocp-cad-viewer/blob/ma... The biggest caveat is that there is currently absolutely zero mitigation for toponaming. This feature is extremely brittle, so I tend not to use it very much -- but I am still glad it exists for those situations when composing a selector is too annoying.

last time i tried, i didnt get the standalone mode to run.. there seems to have been an update in february, so i will give this another try when there's time.. (context: https://github.com/bernhard-42/vscode-ocp-cad-viewer/)

PartCAD can export CAD models to Three.js. The OCP CAD viewer extension for build123d and cadquery models, for example, is also built on Three.js. https://github.com/bernhard-42/vscode-ocp-cad-viewer

I've been a newbie too and tried to use FreeCAD as others mentioned but I found myself enjoying build123d (basically a python library that uses an long-existing technology called OpenCascade and a viewer called OCPViewer generally used within visual studio code). The learning curve is still there, but I felt more empowered to adjust/share 3d printing designs made in it over dealing with quirks of GUI-based CAD applications. The discord community on there is rather helpful too. https://build123d.readthedocs.io/ https://github.com/bernhard-42/vscode-ocp-cad-viewer I'll still use FreeCAD on occasion as a secondary viewer for stl files, though my hope is to use build123d entirely including for describing joints as well.

One of them is literally a browser-based client-side project; would you expect it to be? https://replicad.xyz/ (N.B. the Replicad studio code editor on that site seems to be broken today, which is a bummer -- it wasn't when I last checked) CadQuery might not be in Ubuntu repositories on its own (same with Build123D -- these are python libraries really) but have you tried looking for cq-editor? (I think that's in Homebrew as well.) https://snapcraft.io/install/cadquery-editor/ubuntu To be fair I'd probably install the VSCode support for Build123D and CadQuery instead, because 1) this is code-CAD and you really manage it as such, and 2) I'm not that fond of the cq-editor environment. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bernhard... https://github.com/bernhard-42/vscode-ocp-cad-viewer This extension can install Build123D or Ca
