Comment on SolveSpace – Parametric 2D/3D CADparent

This is on the radar for Solvespace but it's going to be fairly major rework to get it right. I'm still learning how all the pieces of the code fit together. The group structure in Solvespace is kinda crap - groups are "solver groups" meaning each group is costraint-solved independently with parameters in other groups held constant. Named parameters will help and there is a branch, but we need to work out scoping rules and some other stuff.

What I'd really like is the ability to make assemblies with multiple parts linked in the same group. And ultimately to have free parameters in those linked parts, but that's really challenging. Expert coders welcome to have a look.
