I went to the CadQuery library because pymesh is abandoned and buggy. So to help me with the learning curve there I asked ChatGPT to do a simple box. It kept generating variations on bullshit code that yielded the same error over and over again, until it finally started generating the same bullshit variation over and over.
write a cadquery script for a box with top at 0, that is 1 deep, 12 wide and 100 long.
Here is a CQ script that will generate a box with the specified dimensions:
Copy code
import cadquery as cq
# Create a box with the specified dimensions
result = cq.Workplane("XY").box(12, 100, 1)
# Set the top face of the box to be at the XY plane (Z = 0)
result = result.faces(">Z").workplane().moveTo(0,0).plane(cq.Plane.XY())
# The box is now ready to be exported or further modified
This script creates a box using the box()
method of a workplane. The dimensions of the box are specified as arguments to the box()
method in the order length, width, and height. The top face of the box is then moved to the XY plane (Z = 0) by first selecting the top faces of the box using the faces(">Z")
method, creating a workplane on those faces with the workplane()
method, and then moving the workplane to the origin with the moveTo(0,0)
method. Finally, the plane()
method is used to specify that the workplane should lie in the XY plane.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
That reports TypeError: ‘Plane’ object is not callable.
It looks like you are trying to call the Plane
object as if it were a function. In the CQ script that I provided, Plane
is an object in the cq
module that represents a plane in 3D space, and it should not be called like a function. Instead, you should use the Plane
object as follows:
Copy code
result = result.faces(">Z").workplane().moveTo(0,0).plane(cq.Plane.XY)
Note that the XY
attribute of the Plane
object is accessed without parentheses. This will specify that the workplane should lie in the XY plane.
I apologize for the mistake in the original script. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
That reports TypeError: ‘Plane’ object is not callable.
I apologize for the mistake in my previous message. It looks like there is another issue with the script that I provided.
In the plane()
method, you should specify a normal vector to the plane rather than a Plane
object. You can use the cq.Vector
object to define a normal vector. For example, to specify a plane with a normal vector pointing in the positive Z direction, you can use the following code:
Copy code
result = result.faces(">Z").workplane().moveTo(0,0).plane(cq.Vector(0,0,1))
This will create a workplane on the top faces of the box with a normal vector pointing in the positive Z direction.
I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous message. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
