why is text the setup, rather than sketches? pictures?

ive found a process by which the llm gives me a picture, then i draw on it and hand it back works fairly well

take a look at modelrift.com, it is built around annotating built models by basic pen and arrow tools, works fairly well ('smarter' model is significantly better)

you can upload an image or a sketch! we actually have drawing suppor in our extensions, but we've found our users use it far less than we expected!

Who are your users? Are you working with professionals that use similar commercial products or hobbyists? I have a hard time imagining that seasoned industrial designers prefer text over sketches…

I suspect that your VLM might do a bad job at transcribing sketches into CADs, and you wrongly interpreted the adoption data as a preference for text-based interaction
