This has been my experience also. Curious if this will improve with just more training data, or if another method will need to be introduced.

Building models in code like this is really cool; it’s great to be able to import, for example, a “gears” library and automatically generate the geometry for complex bevel gear setups. I’ve seen this approach used for more than CAD too; there’s a Python library (GDSFactory) for building photonic ICs in code as well, and I’m sure plenty more.

This workflow is a big motivator for my data notebook project (https://mnty.sh/#serenity), since I would like to build everything for a project in code and have visualizers for each component in one notebook.

This is a concept I’ve been playing around with as an alternative to using libraries to build plots inside Jupyter notebooks. I would like to extend it to work with a variety of different file types, especially for engineering-related file formats (like STL for CAD and GDS for chips).
