masonhensley: I've been using FreeCad more and more, but solvespace has been a great, lightweight tool to design parts for laser cutting by SendCutSend/Oshcut.Neat that they got it working in the browser.
ponyous: Does this use its own backend/engine? I've been working on LLM to CAD tool[0] and have realised there are so many backends and options to choose from. Since the realisation I'm trying to find the best representation for an LLM. I think OpenSCAD is currently the best and most feature complete choice, but I definitely need to dig a bit deeper. If anyone has any pointers I welcome them![0]: https://GrandpaCAD.com
MrDOS: SolveSpace is a wonderfully different take on parametric CAD, but development has really slowed, and it seems fundamentally incapable of some pretty rudimentary features (like chamfers[0]). Dune 3D[1] seems like a pretty effective spiritual successor.0: https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/issues/1491: https://dune3d.org/
julbaxter: Dune3D uses SolveSpace behind the scene.
TheJoeMan: I scrolled with the mouse wheel and the origin drifts off screen.Is there an open-source "cleanroom" re-implementation of the Parasolid kernel? I just like the way Solidworks does things vs. Autodesk.
mandarwagh: Crazy
JoshTriplett: Impressive work!Minor nit: why does the rendered in-window text use a really awful pixelated font? It looks like what happens when a font gets rendered onto a pixel grid without any hinting or snapping.
phkahler: Only for the constraint solver. Dune uses OCCT for the solid model.
phkahler: Chamfers and Fillets are my next major undertaking. Don't expect them any time soon, but they've moved to the top of my list. They are extremely difficult to do in the general case - so we will not cover all cases. Several years ago I tried an experiment:https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/issues/453#issuecom...That could only do the top or bottom of a straight extrusion. This time will be a more general than that. Not looking forward to doing corners where 3 fillets meet ;-)
dfox: It uses exactly the same font in the desktop version, and is probably entirely intentional.
JoshTriplett: I assumed it likely looked like the desktop version, and that was exactly what was motivating my question.
