Script to generate and download many configurations

3dsurfr

I'm wondering, is it possible to write a bash/python/node.js script that iterates through a number of configurations of a part studio and generates & downloads them one by one. Alternatively, is it possible to generate the configurations in featurescript and then package everything into a zip that can be downloaded?

For example, I might have a part studio for a box with width, depth, height as configuration variables and I'd like to generate and download all parts from 10x10x10mm to 200x200x200mm in 10mm increments.

If something like this already exists that would be awesome. Otherwise I would very much appreciate some pointers for which features and existing libraries to use. Thanks!

It wouldn't be too hard to write a Python script to do that, using the API.  You can download using the translations API endpoint:

Hi @3dsurfr
I'm looking for a script that can automate export of configs in STL format. 
Do you happen to find any way for that? 

Thanks,
Raj
