Abstract
Parametric Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) modeling from human intent remains challenging, particularly during the conceptual design stage, where design goals are expressed through incomplete and unstructured modalities (e.g., hand-drawn sketches and textual descriptions). In this work, we rethink the human intent-to-CAD pipeline and propose a unified method that directly maps multi-level human intents to executable codes, without assuming the prior existence of target CAD models. To support our study, we construct HiCAD, the first large-scale dataset aligning hand-drawn sketches, textual descriptions, and parametric CAD codes. Based on this, we introduce HiCAD, a two-stage framework comprising Cooperative Multi-Task Alignment to bridge the representational gap between heterogeneous inputs, and Spatial-Aware Reinforcement Learning to enforce geometric and topological consistency. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms existing baselines across multiple tasks, validating its effectiveness and robustness in transforming heterogeneous human intents into high-fidelity parametric CAD models.
