uimadcad is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) meant to ease the use of pymadcad

While pymadcad is a powerful and intuitive python module, any code generating a 3d model still is a script full of coordinates and computational instructions, that one needs to reexecute and wait for its result to show and every time you change a value. uimadcad allows you to view every variable, every expression in your code just by clicking on it, and interact with the display to edit it.
With uimadcad, you still work on the script, but you can combine the best of both world (text & graphic) together to model faster.

developped with Qt and Python

uimadcad is still under development so all features might not work perfectly, and there is still bugs.
