Code-Based Modeling

Also known as: Programmatic Modeling, Scripted 3-D Modeling

An approach to creating 3-D models by writing code rather than using visual direct manipulation interfaces. Code-based modeling tools like OpenSCAD allow users to define shapes, transformations, and boolean operations through programming languages. This approach is inherently more accessible to blind and low-vision users than graphical modeling tools because it relies on text-based input, though users still need mechanisms to understand the spatial output of their code.
