LDraw Nova produces structured brick plans from prompts; the results have not yet been physically validated.

The project generates LDraw-compatible geometry using real catalogued LEGO elements. Demonstrations include a 2,175-piece Sakura Garden, cathedral and observatory.
Its method is interesting for AI-to-CAD: constrain the available parts, generate a plan, render and inspect it. But the published models have not been assembled, and stability is not guaranteed.
What to do: Examine the project as inspiration for a validation loop in your own CAD-agent experiments.
