    It says "can convert cad latents into a sequence of parametric CAD commands"

    Which CAD program? I'm confused

    Am I reading this right?

      Doesn't matter. CAD models/objects are represented by a sequence of operations on a primitive or sketch. Unlike meshes, that describe the manifested resulting shape of objects in 3D programs like Blender.

      So it's about the fact, that their model outputs that hierarchy of operations. The history of development, not just the result.

        How does it not matter? Every CAD program is not going to have exactly the same interface and commands. I doubt for example this will for example generate and OpenSCAD text file.

          It could be used as pseudo-code for LLMs to produce specific CAD commands?
