A full-featured 2D + 3D CAD application built in Rust with GPU-accelerated rendering. Native DWG & DXF read and write, paper space, ACIS solids, dimensions, layouts. An open source community project by Hakan Seven, recognized and promoted by the OpenAEC Foundation.
To quote from another thread about this program:
https://lemmy.ml/comment/27294909
If a program written almost entirely by Claude under somebody who has not previously demonstrated any actual competency in this domain isn’t vibe coding, I really don’t know what is.
It may be that he/they have significant competency in this domain, just not publically or under this name/pseudonym.
I’ve personally made contributions under pseudonyms just to avoid employer paperwork/approvals, for projects that I’d rather not have my real name attached to, and for sharing in potentially hostile communities.
I’ve also developed software internal to companies that has never been released publicly.
In short … he doesn’t need to prove his prior credentials to you, me, or anyone. He may have some, he may not.
We can legitimately critique what he/they have done in this project all we like though.
Yeah, in that case it’s sus. I’d be scared to look at the codebase.
Does it actually work, though?
If I read the page correctly, the project was launched in the last couple months. I’m not seeing many reviews or demonstrations online yet, but I also didn’t look very hard.
I personally don’t have any interest in mostly vibe-coded projects and won’t be trying it.
That said, I’d be curious to hear from anyone who has tried it. It’s certainly welcome to see open-source competitors popping up for AEC software.
Yeah.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to touch projects vibe coded to this level, going solely on past experience with them.
But I am scientifically curious about its functionality.
