It is, I also have a big soft spot for SolveSpace[1] - the feature to speed/binary size ratio is fantastic. 1: https://solvespace.com https://solvespace.com

You didn't read the link, it's a Blender plugin to use SolveSpace inside of it.

  It uses the same python sketch constrainting module derived from a SolveSpace internals fork that FreeCAD also uses [1]. I'll give the parent project a go anyway, it's a cool idea. 1: https://github.com/realthunder/slvs_py https://github.com/realthunder/slvs_py

    And it's also worth noting one of the SolveSpace folks is in Ukraine and his people could use our support. https://twitter.com/app4soft/status/1499029843689852934?s=20&t=W4X2McMRkDv0vtdSc9ve1A https://twitter.com/app4soft/status/1499029843689852934?s=20...

      That guy is... Well, he was a large contributing factor to the previous Solvespace lead maintainer quitting. I find him both useful for bug reports and some feature ideas, but he can also be one to overstep (to put it kindly). He goes under multiple user names, and it's not entirely clear if he Ukrainian or Russian - he did contribute one of those language translations, but I forget which one.

        Hi, Paul. Lets clear what You just said about me: > He goes under multiple user names. Not true. I'm using `app4soft` almost everywhere now: https://git.io/DailySolveSpace https://git.io/DailySolveSpace On GitHub my account name is "Symbian9", but nickname is `app4soft` too. > I find him both useful for bug reports and some feature ideas, but he can also be one to overstep (to put it kindly). Its just because I'm a human living in free country, where each citizen has a right to being criticize something in same time trying to help fix & improve it. > it's not entirely clear if he Ukrainian or Russian. I'm Ukrainian living in Ukraine. Here is my statement for HN:[0] I has nothing to connect me with Russia, so do not do that anymore. > he did contribute one of those language translations, but I forget which one. Common man, You know that I contributing to Ukrainian locale:[1] > Well, he was a large contributing factor to the previous SolveSpace lead maintainer quitting. Not true: `whitequark`, being on HRT therapie, completely broke communication between bug reports & feature request contributors and main SolveSpace development branch. Also, `whitequark` resigned from SolveSpace project itself, just after `Evil-Spirit` (Russian living in Russia) mistakenly call they "him", instead of "she/they" — `Evil-Spirit` did not know that `whiteaqurk` was on HRT and transited gender from men to girl.[2] Also, `whitequark` is the man who near converted SolveSpace to doble-licensed open-source, far away from its inital GPLv3.[3] Thanks to `jwesthues` (SolveSpace founder), we rolled to GPLv3, removing CLA & double-licensing. Since then SolveSpace is FLOSS, fully Free/Libre Open-Source Software again. Any questions?

        Thanks for the clarifications.

        Thank You, Ricardo, for understanding! To be clear I had nothing personal against `whiteqark`[0,1] and LGBTQ in whole - they (`whitequark`) did a lot of hard work on cleaning SolveSpace core code. But in same time they almost broke SolveSpace development management (due to their own mental health issues increased with HRT side effects[2]), in which development I'm joined in as QA since 2013. BTW, I should clarify that `whitequark` is ex-Russian boy Peter Zotov (rus. Петр Зотов), who is actually trying blame me, Ukrainian living in Ukraine, while Russian Army kills Ukrainian kids in Ukraine, bombing cities, schools, maternity hospitals, shooting whole families in cars when they tried to escape Russia's occupation...[2,3] [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whitequark https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whitequark [1] http://web.archive.org/web/20200216155543/http://ritconf.ru/2013/news/113.html http://web.archive.org/web/20200216155543/http://ritconf.ru/...

        Interesting.

    Just to nitpick: this is not used by the normal Sketcher workspace in FreeCAD for constraint solving. According to the link it is used for constraint solving in the assembly3 workbench, which is much more niche than Sketcher.

Exact package that got me back into Blender again, and discovered right here on HN too ;)
