Description

Is there an existing issue for this?
  • I have searched the existing issues
Summary

Currently, makeplane allows plane design but lacks a way to export models into widely used CAD or simulation formats. This limits integration with external tools like OpenVSP, X-Plane, Blender, or 3D printing pipelines. Users who want to test their plane designs in simulators or CAD environments need to manually recreate models, which is inefficient.

Why should this be worked on?

to increase efficiency in testing the plain designs
