Solvespace is traditional gui cad and not code cad?

Fair enough, but:

1. IIRC the engine is original (eg not relying on OpenCascade or somesuch) and high quality code.

2. Adding some sort of Python API to it would be fairly simple given the file format: if you open a solvespace model file [1], it's almost already a script (ascii, with clear commands).

Great, as soon as they add some sort of API or script input, I will notify author of article about this. BTW, ascii based file is not a script, STL file is also ascii.
