What ForgeCAD Inspect Model does

ForgeCAD Inspect Model selects inspection commands and interprets evidence bundles for collisions, sections, thickness, components, gaps, normals, and surface continuity. Use it when a shaded render is ambiguous and you need structured verification of a model.

ForgeCAD Inspect Model is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. ForgeCAD Inspect Model comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, cad-as-code, cad-examples, forgecad and issue-tracker.

Excerpt

Inspect Model

Use forgecad inspect ... when a shaded render is too ambiguous and you need structured evidence: a bundle directory with evidence PNGs plus a root manifest.json (or, for inspect section, a probe directory with result.json, section.svg, section.png). Inspection is not a substitute artifact: look inside with sections, masks, --focus/--hide, and transparency — never edit the model into a cutaway or exploded default to make inspecting easier. Output dirs: let inspect allocate its timestamped directory by default (repeated probes never collide); use /tmp/<model>-inspect for throwaway bundles, a project directory only for persistent artifacts.

Routing: authoring/API questions → forgecad skill; creating a new model → forgecad-build-model.
