Designing a Mini Whistle Using SelfCAD’s AI Assistant
A whistle may be small, but its design involves several features that give it its distinctive shape and functionality. In this tutorial, we’ll use SelfCAD’s AI Assistant to create a 3D mini whistle from a text prompt, exploring how the AI translates a simple description into a model that can be further refined and customized

Once you launch the editor, click on AI modeling on the Toolbar as shown below
The highlighted box indicates where we input our prompt
The assistant feedback suggests the elements that will be included in the model. Once we’ve reviewed them, we click Prepare parts
The window shows the dimensions of the model, and since we will be including all the elements, we click on Generate Elements
Beside each element in this process, you’ll see the ‘Creating’ sign. Wait until all the elements have finished generating and the sign turns to ‘Ready’. Click ‘Assemble Model’
Click on Preview Assembly to see how the model turned out
This is how the model turned out
