johndoe6345789 a8144a5903 feat: Add CadQuery wrapper library for parametric CAD modeling
Python wrapper around CadQuery for simplified 3D CAD operations with
clean API for creating shapes, performing boolean operations, and
exporting to various formats.

import cadquery as cq
# Create a block with holes in each corner of a rectangle on that workplane.
# 1. Establishes a workplane that an object can be built on.
# 1a. Uses the named plane orientation "front" to define the workplane, meaning
# that the positive Z direction is "up", and the negative Z direction
# is "down".
# 2. Creates a plain box to base future geometry on with the box() function.
# 3. Selects the top-most Z face of the box.
# 4. Creates a new workplane to build new geometry on.
# 5. Creates a for-construction rectangle that only exists to use for placing
# other geometry.
# 6. Selects the vertices of the for-construction rectangle.
# 7. Places holes at the center of each selected vertex.
