minus-squareiii@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoWould love to learn if it exists too. I use it often. The only other way I know how to CAD is https://github.com/pythonscad/pythonscad
minus-squarewildbus8979linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 month agoUnrelated but BTW FreeCAD is fully python scriptable. In fact, as I understand it, every operation is first translated to python code.
minus-squareCaptain AggravatedlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down4·1 month agoYeah, and it outright isn’t documented.
minus-squarewildbus8979linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 month ago FreeCAD’s Python functions are all well organized in different modules. Some of them are already loaded (imported) when you start FreeCAD. Just try: dir() https://wiki.freecad.org/Python_scripting_tutorial https://wiki.freecad.org/FreeCAD_Scripting_Basics https://wiki.freecad.org/Python_console https://wiki.freecad.org/Power_users_hub https://wiki.freecad.org/Debugging#Python_Debugging https://wiki.freecad.org/Profiling …
minus-squaremranderson17@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 month agoThere is also Cascade Studio (Demo). Sadly development has stalled, it was a really cool project. Probably not at all what OP is looking for though since TinkerCAD is just sketch/primitive type workflow, not like openscad.
