AI

The command bar at the bottom of the screen (press / to get there) takes quick commands in English or Finnish. Claude can also build and change your model for you: see MCP below.

Commands

Type what you want, and the part or feature appears; features that go on a surface then wait for you to click where.

  • 20x10x5 · 3x3x3 negative · cylinder 10x20 · sylinteri 8 x 5 negative
  • M3 · M3 countersink 6 deep · M4 nut pocket · M2.5 insert · M3 upotus · M5 hole 10 deep
  • 608 · 6001 laakeripesä (bearing seats)
  • text HELLO (raised) · engrave text SAMI · kaiverra teksti TAZ 5
  • rotate 180 · rotate x 90 · käännä -45 y (turns the selected part; about Z unless you name an axis)

They work at once, with no AI. Typed requests in your own words and design questions ("how thick should PETG walls be?") need the command-bar AI, which is switched off in this version: use the menus, or let Claude do it over MCP.

What Claude can build

Over MCP, Claude has more modelling tools than the toolbar shows:

  • Sketches on any plane (top, side or front view), with smooth splines through points (a point marked as a corner stays sharp, so a flat underside stays flat), ellipses and NACA airfoils.
  • loft: a solid through cross-sections stacked up Z: fuselages, bottles, nose cones, and twisted propeller or rotor blades (airfoil sections that shrink and twist towards the tip).
  • silhouette: a body from its side, top and front outlines, keeping only what is inside all of them: a car body or a fuselage from three views.
  • cut_sketch: cut any sketch into a part (windows, arches, angled slots), straight through or to a depth.
  • boolean / fuse_all: union, subtract or intersect parts, as the right-click menu does.
  • mirror (model one half, mirror it, merge) and pattern (copies in a row or round an axis, e.g. blades round a hub).
  • fillet: round every edge of a box or cylinder, or the corners and top/bottom edges of a sketch extrusion.
  • set_color, get_bounds, move with an anchor (put a part's bottom centre or middle at a point), get_scene with summary for a cheap overview, batch for up to 50 steps in one call, and status to check the connection.

A lofted part shows its sections in the part panel, where Smooth between sections can be switched off; its shape is changed through Claude.
