Model with dimensions
Constrain a sketch, create solid features, and adjust dimensions as the feature timeline rebuilds.
Follow the first workflowINDEPENDENT Β· UNOFFICIAL Β· SOLIDCRAFT GUIDE
SolidCraft is an open-source parametric 3D CAD application. This guide points you to official downloads, explains desktop and browser options, and walks through a first sketch-to-solid workflow. It also introduces the CLI and MCP paths for automation.
DO THE NEXT THING
Use the quick guides below, then open an official product page only when you need the app or an installer.
01 / GET THE APP
The official download page lets you choose a platform, architecture, and package. This guide does not host installers. The browser app stores designs in browser storage, so export a backup you can keep.
Asset list for v0.14.0, checked 2026-10-17. For the live release and other packages, use the official selector.
02 / FIRST MODEL
This documentation-based walkthrough shows the full first loop. Menu labels can change between releases; it has not been presented as a hands-on test.
Use this as a learning exercise, not an engineering validation. Check the current official getting-started guide β
03 / MCP AND AI AGENTS
Install the official desktop app and CLI first. For Claude Code, the official quick setup is:
claude mcp add solidcraft -- solidcraft-cli mcpTo watch an agent work in the desktop app, start it with solidcraft --control 7878, then configure the MCP command with solidcraft-cli mcp --connect 127.0.0.1:7878. A copied config alone does not confirm a connection: restart or refresh the client and check that SolidCraft tools appear. MCP can read or change files; grant only the folders the task needs.
See official MCP setup, client examples, and file-access rules β
01 / THE TOOL
SolidCraft is developing quickly. Learn the modeling basics, then check the official roadmap before relying on a specific capability for production work.
Constrain a sketch, create solid features, and adjust dimensions as the feature timeline rebuilds.
Follow the first workflowChoose the desktop app or browser version. The CLI and MCP server expose modeling workflows to scripts and AI agents.
Find an official entry pointSome advanced areas remain on the roadmap. Confirm the state of the exact tools you need before planning a project.

Install from the official source, try a small part, then decide whether the current feature set fits your work.
Open the getting started guideUse the release page or open the browser app.
Draw a profile, add dimensions, and make a solid.
Change a parameter and see the timeline rebuild.
03 / SOURCES
This independent guide summarizes SolidCraft's own README, user documentation, releases, and roadmap. Product details can change between releases, so use the official pages for the latest download and interface information.
