# How to try parametric 3D CAD in your browser, no install with solidcraft

Repo: [tangency-labs/solidcraft](https://github.com/tangency-labs/solidcraft) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Open the web app, sketch a shape, extrude it and change a dimension to see the model rebuild.

**Who it is for:** Curious beginner who heard about free CAD and does not want to install anything

**The problem:** Trying a CAD program usually means a large install and an unfamiliar interface.

**The outcome:** You sketch, extrude and resize a simple solid in a browser tab within minutes.

## Steps

1. Open the browser app linked from the README.
2. Start a new design and draw a sketch on a plane.
3. Extrude the sketch into a solid.
4. Edit a dimension in Parameters and watch the solid rebuild.

## Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
I want to learn the basics of SolidCraft in the browser. Give me a 5-step exercise to sketch, dimension and extrude a small box with a hole, using only features listed in its README.
```

## Caveat

The browser build runs the same commands as desktop, but very large designs may feel slower in a tab than in the desktop app.
