Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Using sheet metal V0.2.49
Base-flange as it exists in Solidworks does not exist in FreeCAD sheetmetal. It's important to understand each of the buttons in the sheetmetal workbench are basically completely independent programs that do their own thing. Notice here how each button has it's own python file.

Dune 3D – an open source parametric 3D CAD app bassed on OCCT
> I would love to see a successor to OpenSCAD
There is quite a few "code" CAD's around https://github.com/Irev-Dev/curated-code-cad. Cadquery has contraints but isn't really a DSL.

Antimony – computer-aided design tool from the Lisp machine parallel universe
This is a mid-point in Matt Keeter's research.
Start at:
http://mattkeeter.com/research/thesis.pdf
then see:
http://www.mattkeeter.com/projects/kokopelli/
then Antimony (see the article at: http://hackaday.com/2015/05/29/otherworldy-cad-software-hail... ), then the current effort:
https://github.com/libfive/libfive
(and also see: https://www.gitlab.com/kavalogic-inc/tovero "a binding of Libfive to Common Lisp, including a standalone REPL-based viewer"[https://github.com/Irev-Dev/curated-code-cad] can be integrated with https://www.gitlab.com/kavalogic-inc/clive
Currently I'm using OpenSCAD (w/ BlockSCAD as a front-end: https://www.blockscad3d.com because I prefer a sort of visual representation), but have been stymied by the lack of file I/O (I want to write out G-code).
Still looking for a 3D modeling tool which is:
- a node or block editor

What happened Tovero (libfive bindings) and Clive (scene graph and 3D GUI) from Kavalogic and previously hosted on common-lisp.net?
From 2018 through sometime 2020 there seems to have existed two projects surrounding 3D modelling in CL, Tovero as libfive bindings and Clive as some sort of scene graph with a 3D GUI as per this description from a random git commit I found:
- 3D version of MakeCode from Buildbee.com (for making 3D models for 3D printing/CNC)
-
Is there a way to make cad models using programming? Just Curious.

To design a new mount for the Chimera 2in2out for the Ender 3, I rebuilt the carriage assembly in OpenScad and partyl QCad.
I tried using python scripting with FreeCad's 2d constraints mechanisms, which I had high hopes for but found it to be too difficult. I did a decent write up about it here: https://github.com/Irev-Dev/curated-code-cad/pull/8
What are some alternatives?
ANSYS-WB-Batch-Script - Python scripts to use in ANSYS Workbench Batch mode. No Python package installation needed. Supports Parametric input/output. Uses only in-build ANSYS tools.
cadquery - A python parametric CAD scripting framework based on OCCT
