Interfacing between asymptote and cadquery

[Dov Grobgeld]

Hello all,

There are two things that always fascinated me. One, the graphics language developed in MetaFont [1] → MetaPost [2] → Asymptote [3]. And second, connecting various libraries from different sources.

With that in mind, here's another proof of concept of what is possible through Bezier input. An interface for loading asymptote expressions into CadQuery. Here is a screenshot:

I guess this is suitable for the cadquery plugin as well.

Btw, since asymptote generates 3D geometry, it should be possible to input that as well to CadQuery. Though obviously not through svg.
