Nice job. I actually read a paper on Arxiv last year about this exact thing - using LLMs to drive model building through LDraw that might be worth reading [1]. They had some interesting experiments like giving the LLM a fixed set of parts as a constraint and asked it to "build" tools out of those available lego. I think they were using Opus 4.5 so I'm sure with even more powerful models it'll be even better. [1] - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.15743
