Mesh rebuild freecad knob
hard tier · create
The request
Attached is an STL of a knob exported from a CAD application: a round body with a chamfered top edge and a hexagonal socket in the underside. Rebuild it as a parametric part named exactly `knob`, standing where the mesh stands (Z up, same origin, base on the same plane), with controls `diameter` (±10 mm around the mesh) and `height` (±5 mm), and a hex socket that fits a 8 mm key. Keep the mesh imported in the part while you work. Measure the mesh first.

What the AI judge checks
- The overall form matches the reference: the same kind of object, the same silhouette from the matching angle
- Proportions match: the relative sizes of the major dimensions agree with the reference within what the eye can judge
- Every major feature visible in the reference (holes, slots, bosses, tabs, lips) is present in the result
- Those features sit where the reference has them
- Nothing is present that the reference does not show — no decorative or unexplained geometry
- The top edge is chamfered, not sharp
- A hexagonal socket is visible in the bottom view
Measured checks
- one sub-part named knob (gate)
- volume within 3 % of the mesh (gate)
- bounding box within 0.5 mm of the mesh (gate)
- symmetric difference under the measured floor
- the socket clears a 8 mm key across the flats
- the socket is hexagonal, not round
- the socket is 6 mm deep
- the imported knob is still declared as an import
- asked the oracle at most once
Ranked by hand
One reviewer put one attempt from each model in order, best first, ties left tied.
Ordering by hand decides Human rank and Human rate on the leaderboard; it never affects Overall or Strict.
