Your first design
1. Open the example
Section titled “1. Open the example”The fastest way to see what kaicad produces is the worked example: a queen platform bed in walnut, 22 parts, knock-down. It opens in the workbench with the part tree, the axonometric view, the checks and the cut list already populated.
It is also the design the docs quote from, so a number you see on that screen is a number you can look up here.
2. Ask for something ordinary
Section titled “2. Ask for something ordinary”Just make me a queen platform bed. Walnut. It has to come apart to get up the stairs.
A model writing against this schema should state its assumptions — mattress size, slat count, rail section, knock-down fixture, height to the top of the slats — rather than asking you about them, and emit one fenced block.
3. Copy the block, paste it in
Section titled “3. Copy the block, paste it in”Select the block, copy, and paste it into the front door or onto the library screen. Nothing is uploaded; the compile happens in your browser.
4. Read the report before the picture
Section titled “4. Read the report before the picture”The 3D view is the reassuring part and the report is the useful part. It tells you which rules ran, which found something, and — this matters — which could not run and why. A rule that needed geometry and did not get it is reported as unverified, never as passed.
5. Repair, if it needs it
Section titled “5. Repair, if it needs it”Copy the report and paste it back into the same chat. Errors are not negotiable; warnings are
judgement calls that the model should raise with you rather than quietly design around. Ask
for the whole file back, with the same meta.id, and paste it in again.
