CadQuery Simple Viewer

Functions

show(objects, names=None, colors=None, opacity=1.0, tessellation_tolerance=0.01)

Display one or more CadQuery objects with visible axes, grids, and tick labels. Best for inspecting part dimensions and position relationships.

Parameters:

• objects: A single CadQuery object or a list of CadQuery objects.
• names: Optional list of legend labels.
• colors: Optional list of face colors.
• opacity: Transparency value (1.0 = fully opaque).
• tessellation_tolerance: Mesh precision (smaller = finer mesh).

show_arch(objects, names=None, colors=None, opacity=1.0, z=None, plane_color="whitesmoke", plane_size=50, plane_opacity=0.8, tessellation_tolerance=0.01)

Display one or more CadQuery objects in an architectural style with axis labels/ticks/grid hidden. Optionally adds a base plane at elevation z.

Parameters:

• objects: A single CadQuery object or a list of CadQuery objects.
• names: Optional list of legend labels.
• colors: Optional list of face colors.
• opacity: Transparency value (1.0 = fully opaque).
• z: Optional height for a base plane. If None, no plane is displayed.
• plane_color: Color of the optional base plane.
• plane_size: Half side length of the base plane.
• plane_opacity: Opacity of the optional base plane.
• tessellation_tolerance: Mesh precision (smaller = finer mesh).

Quick Start

from cadquery import Workplane
from cadquery_simpleviewer.viewer import show, show_arch

box = Workplane("XY").box(10, 20, 5)
show(box)
show_arch(box, z=0)
