A flattened STEP has no usable hierarchy, so several solids must be reviewed as one component, and every classification and measurement needs an engineer's explicit decision. Those decisions are stored apart from the imported CAD and tied to the exact source file, engine and extractor that produced them.
Recurring agent failure issue in solidcraft (kaeli-byte)
What engineers report
A recurring agent failure problem in solidcraft (kaeli-byte) that mostly hits the mechanical designer.
Failure pattern: agent / failure
Analyst note
From the Grok pain-radar digests, Nov 9-10 2026 (Nov 9 7:41 AM ET through Nov 10 7:41 AM ET digests plus the Haitch editions). Verified live 2026-11-10: issue/PR read; title and state confirmed.
What it costs a team
Modeled annual cost
$30,000
For a team of 5
Prototype delay
3 days
Modeled schedule slip per occurrence
Time lost
240 min
Per engineer per month, about 1 incidents
How the cost is modeled
240 min/month × 5 engineers × 12 months = 240 hours × $125/hour = $30,000
A modeled estimate with medium confidence. Swap in your own team size and loaded rate to size it for your team.
