I am jealous. I ran UG(sorry will always be UG to me) for 15 years and didn't ever experience it in 3D. I did immediately fall in love with the spaceballs/3d controllers. I added t…

Great comment! I think the size and scope of BRep modeling kernels is lost on 99% CAD users. IMHO: I have reached the point where I think there should be a generation of library de…

I evolved from pencil and paper, to text files, to minder. I stick to text and it works good for me. It is simple, fast to use, search works good, basic organization is there. File…

I have been working on an open source MCAD application called cadseer. https://gitlab.com/blobfish/cadseer

Always great to see more people putting in effort toward opensource cad. Good luck!

In action: https://doc.cgal.org/latest/Surface_mesh/index.html Built on top of boost graph.

Anybody building open source tools for c++ is great, so thanks. Most confusion for me happens around dynamic dispatch. I want a good tool to generate and control dynamic call graph…

I guess we have a disconnect. I am talking about modeling kernel geometric definitions and data structures. Whether NX has or doesn't have the boolean terms (union, intersect ...et…

Thank you. I definitely could use help on the other platforms(mac, windows). I spent a huge amount of time deploying on those, which makes it great to hear it is running for you. S…

brl-cad is CSG modeler with some BRep support. Opencascade is a BRep modeler that supports boolean operations. The industry gave up on CSG and went BRep decades ago.

In what ways is freecad using opencascade incorrectly?

I am always trying to make it better, but I am years away from removing the 'alpha' description. Cadseer is for the early adopters and the CAD curious. Production minded people sho…

I have never used openscad, but from what I understand there would be 2 major differences. The first is the geometry engine. Openscad uses a mesh modeler, where cadseer uses bounda…

Any feedback is welcome. You can import and export step files. There is no support of assemblies, so I am not sure what you will get.

cadseer is using opencascade, so it is BRep instead of CSG.

cadseer uses opencascade, so BRep. Any feedback is welcome.

I am using opencascade and doing solid modeling vs mesh modeling. So cadseer is closer to something like freecad vs blender. A list of advantages and disadvantages should be done b…

No it doesn't have any assembly at this point. I have used the solvespace engine for the sketcher, so I think I can use it for assembly also ... someday.

If you are just starting with 3d modeling, you have a learning curve ahead of you regardless of the software. I am not sure at this point if I should be giving you advice.

I think most will agree open source cad is lacking. At least in the 3d solid modeling world. Philosophy? Tough question! I guess, "Everything Should Be Made as Simple as Possible, …

I made a screen cast a few days ago. https://vimeo.com/813202571 If you watch that you can see the sketch mode. Sketcher need a lot of love. No I didn't write a geometric kernel an…

Cadseer is in the same genre as: solidworks, inventor, freecad etc... Cadseer is alpha software, so lots of missing features, bugs, crashes, file incompatibilities etc... About me:…
