Vcad: Free BRep CAD in the Browser (vcad.io)

Nice UI. Pretty cool to see a CAD program in the browser, without even an annoying login to try screen. On the other hands it seems to be pretty choppy and I was visual artifacts about 5 seconds into the tutorial. I got the same artifacts in Zen and Chrome.

This seems to have the same weakness as OpenSCAD, no relative positioning.

Vibe coded? Nothing works.

And now you know why CAD is hard.

Why is right/middle click both orbit and pan? Why is scroll wheel vertical orbit? This feels like it was vibecoded using a macbook touchpad

Neat example of the strengths and weaknesses of vibe coding… But if anyone here is looking for a solid browser-based parametric CAD solution, [onshape](https://www.onshape.com) is the best there is. It’s missing a few tools that more complex alternatives have but if all you need is something easy to learn so you can make things to 3d print it’s a good choice

This... what is this even doing? The camera controls are all fucked up. Why is mousewheel bound to rotate on the X axis? I can't actually select and move things. The container example is... is this supposed to be an object? Why is a cylinder floating above it? Why is shading all fucked up on the "twisted ribbon"? Etcetera etcetera.

Oh, it's vibe coded? And the author seems to have a bad case of Dunning-Kruger?

Yeah, I'll pass.

I guess it requires paying for something external rather than being batteries included.
