AI modify

Change the model you already have with a plain-language instruction.

Modify edits the model you already have instead of starting a new one. Your instruction is turned into a list of ordinary editing operations that run through the command bus as one undoable step, so nothing here bypasses the timeline — Ctrl+Z reverts the whole change. Like Generate, it uses AI and spends credits, so it needs a Pro plan (a teacher account in classrooms) — unless you have added your own provider key, which makes it free of credits.

  1. Select the parts you want to change — or select nothing to let it work on the whole model.
  2. Open the AI panel from the left sidebar and describe the change in plain language ("make the walls 3 mm", "add a hole in the lid").
  3. Review the change, then keep it or undo it like any other edit. Keep asking — the conversation remembers what you already applied.
