If you can get this to read dimensions and apply constraints, you've done it. But that doesn't look like the case.
Every time I see one of these things,its like whoever worked on it doesn't know how to use CAD or understand what CAD is used for.
This.
Every 6 months, I reevaluate how well LLMs can model from scratch or can modify existing files.
It's very superficial (atleast the last time I tried it). I'm guessing if/when LLMs crack visual reasoning, they might be able to do it.
Well visual reasoning is one approach, another is a coding-like approach like this cadquery-based solution https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48153064 Curious what you (and others) think, they also are collecting a pool of examples including prompt, reasoning log and token cost, quite interesting imho.
