yes we did a bunch of experiments on this! we could get OS models up to but not beyond any of the best closed foundation models. Gemini 2.5/Claude 4 most reliable as an api option


what sorts of examples would be helpful? will add screenshots to the readme plus anything else you'd like.

you can also check out the hosted version to see what to expect


It would be helpful to have some examples that show the prompts needed to develop simple shapes, then how to iterate to add improvements. A video of you using it to create something specific would be great.

I first tried "a work table with a roof" which gave me a reasonable model but with a flat roof, then I tried "a work table with a pitched roof" which gave me a very unlikely and unworkable model with the halves of the roof disconnected and not contacting the vertical supports. Then I tried the "Adam Pro" option and it came out looking more like an Adirondack chair than a table, but not one you could sit in! =)

I would like to know what to write instead to get a more useful model. Very cool project though!


i agree


will add some!


yes! that's what most people have been using adam for!


thanks! steadily improving the creative mode


wdym?


For example: I scan a ball into STL-file. I can include it into my OpenSCAD design, but it is not a OpenSCAD-sphere, just a sphere-shaped surface with billions of facets.


i'm impressed by the work they're doing building a new kernel! although i don't currently really have a use case for which i'd ever use their tool over onshape or any other cad program. i return the question back to you wdyt of zoo and adam?


could you help me I don't fully understand? you wanted to be able to upload a mesh and repair it using adam? thanks


Wanted to be able to upload a mesh (or more precisely, wanted to upload an STL) that had internal space (a building with just the walls) and have it be filled so it's a solid object. That makes it easier to resize for printing, as you're not relying on wall thickness as the only structure.

Is that any more clear?


Could you share your conversation with Adam so I can take a look?


Theres this one.

Where I figured I had poisoned the context somehow and was getting nowhere.

And here

Where I got some traction but am working in the opposite direction. I am finding my language the barrier. I say "Apart" but how is it to know which way.

Will it respond to X/Y coordinates properly?


It does respond to X/Y. You can also try to describe vertical and horizontal. I just looked at the prompts. Are you trying to create an enclosure for a desktop computer? Would love to help!


Its a modular project enclosure for messing about with electronics that have panel fit components. I need to be able to remove/replace pieces on the topside. I have a bunch of measurements that aren't with me right now, but 70x40mm panel sections worked out to be just right.

My next move is probably going to be feeding it some cleaned up diagrams when I have access to them.
