tangency-labs/solidcraft v0.42.0 on GitHub

SolidCraft 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:
solidcraft-cli mcp (how).

What's new in SolidCraft 0.42.0 is listed below, and the
ROADMAP lists
the known limitations. Designs from every earlier version open in this one.

New app ID. The app ID is now io.tangencylabs.solidcraft (it was ai.storyteller.solidcraft,
and ai.storyteller.solvecraft up to 0.7): flatpak update offers to replace the old app, the
.deb, .rpm and AppImage remove the old menu entry, and settings stay. On macOS the bundle ID
changed too, so macOS asks once more for the permissions it had granted.

Upgrading from 0.5 or earlier. 0.6 renamed SolveCraft to SolidCraft and made the zip
container the default save format. .solvecraft designs, old settings folders and
SOLVECRAFT_* variables are still picked up, and solvecraft-cli still forwards to
solidcraft-cli. Want plain JSON? Use File ▸ Save As JSON… or --save design.json. On
macOS, replace SolveCraft.app with SolidCraft.app. Details:
compatibility notes.

Documentation, the browser app and the Flatpak feed use the SolidCraft project Pages URLs.

Which file?

Windows: SolidCraft-0.42.0-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 SolidCraft.app onto Applications.
The CLI is in solidcraft-cli-0.42.0-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>), the .snap
(sudo snap install --dangerous <file>, or sudo snap install solidcraft from the Snap Store), or the .tar.gz.
FreeBSD: tar -xzf solidcraft-0.42.0-freebsd-x86_64.tar.gz --strip-components 1 -C /usr/local.
Web: solidcraft-web-0.42.0.zip is a static site to host yourself.
SHA256SUMS.txt: sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt --ignore-missing.
Files without a version in the name (solidcraft-windows-x64.msi, solidcraft-linux-x86_64.AppImage, …)
are the same packages under fixed names, for download links that always fetch the latest release.

For Flatpak feed installation and updates, add Flathub for the required runtime before
installing SolidCraft; keep both remotes in the same user installation:

flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists solidcraft https://docs.solidcraft.io/flatpak/solidcraft.flatpakrepo
flatpak install --user solidcraft io.tangencylabs.solidcraft
flatpak run io.tangencylabs.solidcraft

A remote added from the old bherbruck.github.io address no longer finds updates: run
flatpak remote-modify --user --url=https://docs.solidcraft.io/flatpak/repo/ solidcraft, then
flatpak update --user.

Flatpak installs under an old ID (ai.storyteller.solidcraft, or ai.storyteller.solvecraft from 0.7 or
earlier): flatpak update --user offers to replace it with io.tangencylabs.solidcraft, and settings move along.

Single-file .flatpak bundles include the runtime repository address; missing runtimes
still need an internet connection. Linux installation details.

The macOS app is signed with a Developer ID and notarized. The Windows files are not signed yet:
SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC": More info, then Run anyway. The other
packages are unsigned.
Licences are built in (Help ▸ About ▸ Licences, solidcraft-cli licences); the packages also
install THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt.
