Model distorts after resizing? Map dimension dependencies

Define dimensions and dependencies, then adjust and export a model in CADAM, using OpenSCAD for section checks where needed.

Execution environment and usage

AI / software

Claude parameter plan; CADAM hosted model controls; OpenSCAD inspection

Where to operate

Draft parameter rules in Claude; the project links https://adam.new/cadam/ for preview, dimension controls and export. Inspect sections in an existing OpenSCAD setup.

Getting started

  1. Supply decorative non-load-bearing use, units, dimension ranges and appearance to draft parameter dependencies and invalid combinations.
  2. Open https://adam.new/cadam/, check account/cost conditions, then preview and adjust an original concept or authorized model.
  3. Inspect allowed extremes for intersections, thickness and dimensions. For sections, have a competent user inspect a SCAD copy with the documented OpenSCAD projection-cut method.
  4. Export SCAD, STL or DXF as required, retain an editable copy and reopen it in a compatible tool. Do not send it directly to a printer.

Setup and plan requirements

Dimension requirements, eligible hosted CADAM access and known costs; section inspection additionally needs configured OpenSCAD and basic modeling skills. Self-hosting requires Node.js, Supabase and model-service configuration.

Prompt portability limits

Text rules are portable; geometry inspection needs CADAM/OpenSCAD or compatible CAD tools. The README documents preview, parameters and exports, not completion of this exercise.

Usage limitations

The hosted page was opened read-only, without account/model interaction. Hosted pricing, quotas and regional access remain unchecked. Outputs provide no structural, manufacturing or safety certification.

適用情境 / When to use

Define dimensions and dependencies, then adjust and export a model in CADAM, using OpenSCAD for section checks where needed. Draft parameter rules in Claude; the project links https://adam.new/cadam/ for preview, dimension controls and export. Inspect sections in an existing OpenSCAD setup. AI prepares the draft; a person completes the setup, export or validation steps below. Original case: These are project-produced demonstrations, not independent manufacturing or safety tests.

步驟 / Steps

  1. Use a non-load-bearing decorative concept, units, dimension ranges and appearance preferences.
  2. Identify adjustable parameters and dependencies to prevent negative thickness or intersections.
  3. Manually inspect extremes, sections, measurements and export formats.

提示詞 / Prompt

For [non-load-bearing decorative concept/units/dimension ranges/appearance preferences/export format], draft a parameter table and dependency rules. Specify allowed values, invalid combinations and boundary tests; check sections and thickness after changes. Concept review only: provide no load guarantee, manufacturing certification or direct printing instructions.

留意事項 / Cautions

  • Do not design safety-critical parts or claim manufacturing readiness.
  • Do not inherit fixed dimensions or colors from the showcase.

來源限制 / Evidence limits

Exportability does not establish manufacturability, load capacity or tolerances.

流程說明 / Workflow note

These steps and prompts are original, untested exercises by this site, not the author’s verbatim workflow. Reported results do not guarantee exercise outcomes.
