forgecad-component-model

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents brittle ForgeCAD assemblies by enforcing a consistent component model so parts are pure functions and the assembly handles positioning and relationships via connectors and data flow.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Origin-only parts: keeps each part’s geometry built at local origin without assembly-space offsets or structural coordinate math.
• Connector-driven assembly: defines face-to-face connector interfaces so parts meet correctly without translate() hacks.
• Prop/metadata flow discipline: routes dimensions downward as props and computed values upward as metadata so siblings never import each other.

Quick Start

Apply the component model by refactoring your multi-part ForgeCAD project so each part returns { shape, connectors, metadata } and the assembly composes parts using addPart() plus connect() couplings with zero coordinate math.
