AI design assistant

Understanding AI-generated assumptions

Why the assistant lists assumptions, which ones matter for manufacturing, and how to correct them before you cut.

When a request leaves out a value the design needs, the assistant picks a sensible default and lists it under Assumed (check these). Nothing is assumed silently.

Common assumptions

Assumption Why it matters How to change it
Material and thickness Joints, slots and the minimum detail size depend on it Clear the selection; Material in the right panel
Overall size Decides the price tier, sheet fit and text size Select the object; Width / Height
Hole diameter and margin Screws and cord must fit; holes too near the edge break Select the hole pattern; Pattern settings
Text size Small engraved text can become unreadable Select the text; Cap height
Process Decides layers, file formats and allowed materials Fabrication → Process

Before you buy

Open Check & output. The engine's own assumptions — inside dimensions of a box, divider slot widths, the thickness used for joints — are listed under the price. These come from the geometry, not from the assistant, and are what the files are built from.
