Created File:Wall module 8ft.FCStd
The following is a log of AI usage with a goal of creating the above CAD file. I had no prior experience with CAD before this interaction.
Given the goal was to create an 8ftx4ft single center stud version of the wall module & that I already had in possession a 9ftx4ft double center stud version: I asked both chatgpt free version and claude sonnet 4.5 to make the needed edits to the existing file. Each of these interactions failed. They can be inspected here: https://chatgpt.com/share/697c2b33-53b0-800b-b0e2-42787f2fadbc https://claude.ai/share/eb96cbeb-875e-4bb6-b072-9fdd2a832d42
I then asked chatgpt to create the 8ftx4ft single center stud version with a detailed prompt unrelated to the old file. It failed to create the file sufficiently (though here I was just asking for a file as opposed to a macro script, so perhaps it would have responded better to a macro script request).

Finally I asked claude sonnet 4.5 to create the 8ftx4ft single center stud version with the same detailed prompt unrelated to the old file. It not only responded with a CAD file but also a macro script. Upon executing the macro script a sufficient wall module was provided.
