Geometric constraint solver
###Geometric constraint solver Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to implement a geometric constraint solver , useful for each type of modeling. There is a program, SOLVESPACE an parametric 2d/3d CAD that has a library licensed under GPL3 and could be integrated internally as other made in the past.
If it were implemented this library, you would have a useful program even in CAD, for me this is a dream.

It's probably worthwhile to explain better how this fits in with Blender and its primary focus as an artist's tool. Blender doesn't currently have any native parametric objects and links to the website of another piece of software (open source or not) doesn't really explain how any of this would work in Blender.
I know well that Blender is focused for artists, but indeed might be useful.
This is a library of 3D geometric kernel, and could be implemented, calling functions, in practice, is interrogated the kernel, for example to find the center of a line or a circle, or by setting, geometric constraints, parallelism, concentricity, equal, and so on; facilitating a lot more modeling and accuracy, dramatically increasing productivity. Blender has already some parametric elements, modifiers, acting in a non-destructive manner.
There are different libraries integrated in Blender, like OpenVDB or Bullet Physics, and this would be another.
Of course this library is focused on the CAD, my dream about Blender. XD
