Guided 3D part creation — describe what you want to build
$
/plugin install claude-codedetails
Help the user create a 3D CAD part step by step.
- Ask what they want to build (bracket, enclosure, gear, plate, custom shape, etc.)
- Ask for key dimensions (or suggest reasonable defaults)
- Build the part using
create_cad_documentwith the appropriate part type:- Simple shapes → primitive-based (cube, cylinder, sphere, cone)
- Custom profiles → extrude with polygon sketch
- Round bodies → revolve
- Tubes/springs → sweep
- Transitions → loft
- Run
inspect_cadto verify dimensions and volume - Show the results and ask if they want to:
- Modify the design (add holes, fillets, patterns, etc.)
- Export to STL or GLB via
export_cad - Open in the browser via
open_in_browser
Keep dimensions in millimeters. Default to "format": "vcode" for efficiency.
If the user isn't sure what they need, suggest common starting points:
- Mounting plate with holes
- L-bracket or T-bracket
- Enclosure / box with shell
- Flanged hub or bushing
- Custom extruded profile
