alt Hacker NewsI like Build123d but I really want a hybrid mouse/code CAD built around it. I want to be able to click on entities and have them show up in the code editor instead of blindly trying to select edges.

This feature technically already exists in build123d + OCP CAD Viewer (ocp_vscode). You can click a feature in GUI and it will copy the index to clipboard, you can then apply e.g. fillets to it on the code side. See here https://github.com/bernhard-42/vscode-ocp-cad-viewer/blob/ma...
The biggest caveat is that there is currently absolutely zero mitigation for toponaming. This feature is extremely brittle, so I tend not to use it very much -- but I am still glad it exists for those situations when composing a selector is too annoying.
