Has there been any interest in leveraging LLM's for 3d modelling? Sort of an AI assistant with CAD software, to help beginners get going and also more rapidly design simple objects.

1. The majority of 3D modeling is not done parametrically, meaning there is not a lot of data. The little data there is is generally in OpenSCAD, which isn't very powerful or extensible for useful CAD. 2. Generally, when you want to do CAD, you need to come up with a way to define everything precisely. Like I want this hole 2 millimeters from the bottom, and this exact edge next to the hole to be beveled, etc. Saying all that to an LLM is slower than just making the whole.
That said, these still can be useful for beginners, and there are things like Adam AI that are starting to catch on for simple stuff.
Then there's the possibility of an agent automating an actual CAD program. This has already been done with game dev, e.g. Unity MCP.
