Earlier quoted context omitted.

Group transform is out of order. It does not transform the group but the elements. This leads to the suspicion that position and rotation are not transformation chains on object trees but attributes. That would be the wrong architecture. I am very sorry, but please explain. Why is this a nice looking Svelte / Three / CSG app, but the basics are wrong?

Someone built something useful and you complain that it's "nice looking"? Consider reframing your feedback.

No, they are complaining that a basic functionality is not working and hinting at not having the right architecture to deliver correct results in more complex scenarios.

Yes, sure. I will try to be more blunt, as I was not trying to complain about anything.

I think you have invested with agreeable results, but you missed fundamentals. Adjust course to "architecture first" and I expect a great product.

but this is clearly not meant to be onshape, its for kids who want to 3d print something. the 'hole' mode does not seem to subtract like I would expect.

I think that's a lot better. "Please explain your wrongness" really had me scratching my head. Hopefully they can make improvements to the 3D architecture or find someone who can help.

Was preparing a rant about CAD solutions being free as long as people didnt get hooked and then closed behind paywall with ever increasing price.

Then I see that I can self host it. This is interesting novelty.

But there were so many bad apples in CAD area, that I will stick with FreeCAD and after 20 years, if this will evolve and prove it is just not another scam, happily give it a try.

it's a valid idea to try to make an 'easy' modeling/cad system -- the problem is that every such version of software that takes on that challenge makes the suite near useless or incredibly hard to use/clunky for experts. glaring holes, omitted features, zero render or post-process support, poor drawing/print support, etc. i'm convinced this will always be the case and that the right approach, if there is one, is to t…

This is closer to an open Sketchup than a Blender. I think they fill different niches.

Clicking "Try Aske for free" takes you straight to it, no sign up! I usually avoid clicking these buttons because they usually take you to a sign up form.

Yeah, i was also confused and made me scroll down searching for the ‘real’ try for free option lol

Agree, this is very much needed.. is there a repo? Would love to add fillets at some point
