Using the AI assistant
Chat builds and edits geometry with tools; Agent mode takes a goal and builds autonomously with checks.
The right-panel assistant has two modes:
- 💬 Chat — conversational: “add a 6 mm hole in the centre”, “measure the distance between these faces”. It calls real modelling tools and shows each result.
- 🤖 Agent — give a goal (“a 40×20×10 bracket with 2 mm fillets”): it plans, builds into a scratch tab (your document is untouched), verifies with measurements, then you Keep or Discard.
Set-up
Pick a model in ⚙ — a local Ollama model needs no key; cloud models use your own API key (stored only in this browser).
Tips
- ⊕ Mark a face/edge first to give the AI context.
