Getting Started

This guide will walk you through the installation and setup process. Whether you are an experienced developer or completely new to Python programming, this tutorial will help you get your environment ready.

Depending on what you want to achieve in your project, you can use COMPAS cadwork in two different ways:

1. Inside Cadwork's Python Shell: Best for quick scripting, automation of repetitive tasks, and running short code snippets directly inside the application.
2. In a Standalone Plugin: Best for building full-featured, complex tools that can be distributed and shared with other people.
