Scripting

Scripts drive the model through the same API the editor uses. They run sandboxed, and each call lands in the timeline like a feature you made by hand.

await cad.parameters.define('height', '12');

const sketch = await cad.sketches.create({plane: 'XY'});
await sketch.rectangle({from: [0, 0], to: [40, 25]});

const [profile] = sketch.profiles();
const box = await cad.features.extrude({profile, distance: 'height'});

console.log(box.name, box.body().faces().count()); // Extrude 1 6

Queries narrow step by step and end in all(), unique() or count(), for example box.faces().inDirection('Z').unique() for the top face.

Scripting is free while Takumion is in beta.
