LLMs struggle with 3D code generation; structured output offers a fix

Large language models struggle to generate accurate OpenSCAD code for 3D architectural models due to issues with spatial reasoning, coordinate frame confusion, and understanding constructive solid geometry operations. The author found that LLMs often produce code that parses and renders but contains subtle geometric errors. A more effective approach involves having the LLM generate a structured intermediate representation, such as JSON, which is then translated into OpenSCAD code by a deterministic script, simplifying the LLM's task to a 2D spatial problem.

    Why LLMs Fail at OpenSCAD Code Generation (and How to Fix It)

    <p>I've been burning evenings on a weird little side project: getting language models to spit out OpenSCAD code for parametric architectural models. Simple brief, right? "Generate a 3m x 4m room with a window centered on the south wall." The first time I tried this, the model ret…
