freecad-scripts

freecad-scripts is an agent skill from the github/awesome-copilot collection for writing Python scripts, macros and automation for FreeCAD, the open-source parametric 3D modeling application. The skill turns shorthand, rough code and natural language descriptions of 3D modeling tasks into correct FreeCAD Python API calls. It covers writing scripts for FreeCAD's console and macro system, creating and changing geometry in the Part, Mesh, Sketcher, Path and FEM workbenches, building parametric FeaturePython objects with custom properties, developing GUI tools with PySide and Qt inside FreeCAD, manipulating the Coin3D scene graph through Pivy, creating custom workbenches and Gui commands, and automating repetitive CAD operations with macros. It also covers converting between mesh and solid representations and scripting FEM analyses, raytracing and drawing exports. The skill is useful for engineers, makers and designers who want to generate or repeat CAD work in code, and who want parametric models that can be changed by editing a value. Scripts that run inside a CAD application can change or delete the model, so the output should be run on a copy of the model first, and the FreeCAD version should match the one the script was written for. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the github/awesome-copilot repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 1.2K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.…
