Here's an example of a python script that can be launched from a python
interpreter window
of HeeksCAD. It defines a shelf parametrically. It can be exported as STEP or
STL
ok, I'l play the FreeCAD advovate again:

Yes.

Default prefix is "/usr/local". pcb will install its binary into
/usr/local/bin and the libs into /usr/local/lib.
