OP here. writing for my own reference. Found great pointers so far. I'm going to try https://sawdust.diy and https://fluidcad.io/ for the short term. For the long term, I have noted FreeCAD + Blender + $ai_model to be a good general purpose workflow that yields more control, and will probably get me lost into the details. https://janne-alatalo.fi/en/articles/silhouette-modeling/ and its accompanying SKILL - https://github.com/janne-alatalo/image-to-cad-skill FreeCAD MCP: https://github.com/neka-nat/freecad-mcp Woodworking specific FreeCAD resources : https://github.com/dprojects/Woodworking Two YouTube Channels related to FreeCAD + woodworking : 1. https://www.youtube.com/@dprojects.woodworking 2. https://www.youtube.com/@ga3d_._tech528 There goes the weekend! Cheers HN!

I've tested different ways to use agents to model stuff from images with accuracy. Maybe this is something that can help or give you ideas: https://janne-alatalo.fi/en/articles/silhouette-modeling/ If you have some physical reference, for example a coffee table, you can create an accurate 3D model of that quickly. The agent creates model that can be converted to STEP format and opened with any CAD software. This might help you? You get a good model that you can start editing towards your own design. Here is agent skill that works with OpenAI models and Codex https://github.com/janne-alatalo/image-to-cad-skill Basically you take few pictures. Three is usually enough of furnitures. The agent uses the pictures to find the exact camera poses and creates a 3D model that minimizes the difference between the object's silhouette in images and in
