Just yesterday I used Claude to great effect in FreeCAD to model a church tower. The tower has a square base and an octagonal top, but connecting the two by creating a loft using the GUI in FreeCAD results in a wrong and ugly abomination.

Claude understood the problem and produced elegant Python code that worked perfectly the first time.

So I continued and described the other features of the tower to Claude, who coded them.

It's sometimes difficult to properly describe what you want in English, and Claude does a lot of thinking, and sometimes goes deep into a wrong direction of which it won't come out easily; but in the end the result is almost perfect.
