What about dimensions? It's a good starting point, but which software can use this to alter the dimensions precisely? This should have been called Text-to-3D.

> Today, you can take the generated STEP file of any CAD model from Text-to-CAD and import it into an existing CAD program and edit it. Even more exciting, in the future, we will give you the generated KCL (KittyCAD Language) code so that you can edit it in our Modeling App!

Oh great, it's like a more advanced OpenSCAD but cloud-only, not open-source, and pay-as-you-go.

If it's spitting out STEP files, just about any of the major CAD packages will do it.
