   ShopSpec is now also capable of handling metric measurements; this is configurable in the Shop Profile section.

   I previously added dxf and ruby export as part of validation efforts with capability to import into SketchUp Pro and other CAD. This is available in the Reference Rail by clicking `All Exports` or scrolling down to the design interchange se

   You can also visualize the measurements between shelves by clicking 'Show Sizes' on the 3d scene options and having a bay selected. Let me know if that helps.

   I have not opened up that can of worms yet, but have been thinking more about tapers and other non-rectilinear forms. Longer-term I very much want to support a "fill this space" mode for built-ins.

   Glad ShopSpec helped get you over the hump and appreciate the feedback. I am building a tool that I find useful for myself and previously encountered a similar pattern to what you mention.

   Not related, but similar. You'll see a reply from me in the thread you linked. I've added ShopSpec to a couple Ask HN threads in the past too.

   It is not currently implemented but planned for the future based on all of the feedback here.

   Have been building something non-CAD too in the space which is also aligned with carpentry. This looks really neat and can't believe how similar the functionality is. Would be great to chat! https://shopspec.io/app

    IBM i was k8s before k8s, with fewer yaml files and better backwards compat Some of my first exposure to enterprise IT was via the AS/400 and served as a fantastic basis for the cloud stack and agents of today.

    I would love to hear more about your oddly-shaped non-rectangular room. For now rectilinear has made things simpler; but on this kick now with 3d-printed jigs also derived from the spec. I already have a dog-hole system worked out and in-pl

    I am working on ShopSpec ( https://shopspec.io/ ), a tool for designing bookshelves and cabinets. Enter the dimensions and it generates the parts, cuts, sheet layout, and build steps. I built it because I wanted to spend less

    I'm threading this now and have paired AI-assisted development with woodworking knowledge. Partially chose to work on this because I wanted to build in a domain that the models might have a tougher time understanding. Parallels and int

    For me, it was during an on-going incident in a failing IoT OTA service which was growing in priority; taking two items I was unfamiliar with and bolting together new OTA mechanism via alternative SMS provider. I'd never developed in .

    I’ve had a similar experience building a geometry/woodworking-flavored web app with Three.js and SVG rendering. It’s been kind of wild how quickly the SOTA models let me approach a new space in spatial development and rendering 3d (or
