Nice UI. Pretty cool to see a CAD program in the browser, without even an annoying login to try screen. On the other hands it seems to be pretty choppy and I was visual artifacts about 5 seconds into the tutorial. I got the same artifacts in Zen and Chrome.

This seems to have the same weakness as OpenSCAD, no relative positioning.

Vibe coded? Nothing works.

Yes, vibe coded. The author has posted several other articles about this whole vibe coding project, like this one: https://campedersen.com/brep-kernel

And now you know why CAD is hard.

That it is. I’ve been doing one for a sideproject for years. And I worked in CAD professionally for over a decade.

Vibecoding expedites the easy parts fantastically.

But the hard parts are hard. Really, damn hard.

Can we see it?

Why is right/middle click both orbit and pan? Why is scroll wheel vertical orbit? This feels like it was vibecoded using a macbook touchpad

I gave vcad a spin a few days ago (in Visual Studio code). Just about 30ish minutes. Seemed like a great tool to me.

Neat example of the strengths and weaknesses of vibe coding… But if anyone here is looking for a solid browser-based parametric CAD solution, [onshape](https://www.onshape.com) is the best there is. It’s missing a few tools that more complex alternatives have but if all you need is something easy to learn so you can make things to 3d print it’s a good choice

Onshape is indeed fantastic for hobbyists and professionals alike.

Their licensing model is reminiscent of early Github days in that you can use all available modeling features free of charge, but must pay for a private repo. Otherwise, all user generated content is publicly available.
