Design Library
Browse, open, and publish designs in the CADit community library. Manage your designs and customize your profile.
Design Library
The Design Library is a collection of designs shared by the CADit community. You can browse and open designs created by others, publish your own work, and manage your designs through the My Designs dashboard.
What you can find
The library contains several types of designs:
- CADit files: Standard designs created in the CADit editor containing shapes, 3D settings, and design data
- Scripts: Parametric designs written in TypeScript that generate models based on adjustable parameters
- GitHub scripts: Scripts hosted on GitHub that CADit loads directly from the repository
All designs can be opened in CADit, downloaded to your computer, and used as starting points for your own work.
Browsing the library
The library homepage displays design cards in a grid. Each card shows a preview image, the design name, author, and basic statistics. Use the search bar to find designs by name, description, or tags.
Click any card to open the design's detail page with full information, images, and action buttons.
Working with designs
When you find a design you want to use:
- Click Open in CADit to load it in the editor
- Modify the design as needed
- Export for 3D printing or save to your account
Any changes you make are to your own copy. The original design remains unchanged.
Publishing your work
Share your designs with the community by publishing to the library. You can upload CADit files directly from the editor, or link to scripts hosted on GitHub.
Published designs appear in the library for others to discover, open, and remix. You control whether each design is public or private.
Managing your designs
The My Designs dashboard displays all designs saved to your account. From there you can edit design details, change privacy settings, update script files, and delete designs you no longer need.
