SolveCraft v0.1.3

on GitHub

SolveCraft is open-source parametric 3D CAD in Rust: sketch, constrain, extrude, and change a
parameter to watch the timeline rebuild. Documentation

issues. AI agents can model with it over MCP:
solvecraft-cli mcp (how).

Which file?

• Windows: SolveCraft-0.1.3-windows-x64.exe runs as is. Or install the .msi, or unzip the
  -portable.zip (x64, x86 and arm64).
• macOS 11+ (Apple silicon and Intel): open the .dmg and drag SolveCraft onto Applications.
  The CLI is in solvecraft-cli-0.1.3-macos-universal.zip.
• Linux (x86_64 and aarch64, glibc 2.35+): the .AppImage (chmod +x, then run it), the
  .deb or .rpm, the .flatpak (flatpak install --user <file>), or the .tar.gz.
• FreeBSD: tar -xzf solvecraft-0.1.3-freebsd-x86_64.tar.gz --strip-components 1 -C /usr/local.
• Web: solvecraft-web-0.1.3.zip is a static site to host yourself.
• SHA256SUMS.txt: sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt --ignore-missing.

The builds aren't signed yet. On macOS, right-click SolveCraft in Applications and choose
Open the first time (or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/SolveCraft.app).
On Windows, SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC": More info, then Run anyway.
Licences are built in (Help ▸ About ▸ Licences, solvecraft-cli licences); the packages also
install THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt. Known limitations:
ROADMAP.md.

Highlights since 0.1.2

New

• Preferences dialog (gear at the top right, Ctrl+,): theme, navigation presets, keyboard shortcuts, Y-up / Z-up, graphics.
• View cube with chamfered corners (faces and corners are the targets) that follows a Y-up world; labels printed on the faces.
• Agent cursor: watch MCP agents work, with a speed slider from 1× to 5× plus Instant.
• Construction axes and points drawn and pickable; Perpendicular Plane.
• Variable-radius fillets with mid points (dialog rows included), and rounded corners where fillets of different radii meet.
• Toolbar customisation, full-height workspace switcher, » MORE menu on narrow windows, command labels in the status bar.
• Constraint glyphs beside the entities they constrain; multi-corner sketch fillet; more robust Trim/Extend/Offset.
• Silhouette edges, correctly sorted see-through bodies, hatched section caps.
• Drawing onto an existing point ties to it, in the same undo step.

Fixed

• Extrude profiles are kept by their curves: a cut no longer turns into a separate body after a dimension change.
• Lip on rounded, shelled rims; shell of filleted parts; suppressing a patterned feature hides its copies.
• Hidden origin planes no longer steal clicks; faces split on purpose stay split through features, Measure and STEP export.
• No panics in the web build; measuring large bodies is about 15× faster.

Not in this release: riscv64 packages were dropped from the release build (build from source).
