What Reconstruct From Images does

Reconstruct From Images turns reference images into a real parametric ForgeCAD object that is coherent from all sides. Use it when images are evidence for hidden geometry, scale, and form, not just a single matching view.

Reconstruct From Images is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Reconstruct From Images comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, cad-as-code, cad-examples, forgecad and issue-tracker.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Reconstruct From Images

The reference image is evidence, not the deliverable. The deliverable is a real parametric object that holds up from front, back, side, top, bottom, and reference camera views — a model that matches one image but falls apart from other angles has failed, even if the comparison board looks close. Cutaway, sectioned, exploded, or transparent references are evidence about the complete object: build the closed artifact and recreate explanatory views with viewer/inspection tools (the main forgecad skill's closed-artifact rule applies).
