# CADFusion

This repo is the official implementation of paper **[ICML 2025] Text-to-CAD Generation Through Infusing Visual Feedback in Large Language Models** by *Ruiyu Wang, Yu Yuan, Shizhao Sun, Jiang Bian*.

[Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.19054) | [Video](https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/LK8LAzR0v5M?si=FD1Vg9wjkROTKjDV) | [Huggingface](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/CADFusion)

CADFusion is a text-to-CAD generation framework that leverages visual feedback to enhance the performance of large language models (LLMs) in generating CAD models from textual descriptions. It consists of two main components: sequential learning and visual learning. The sequential learning component fine-tunes LLMs on a text-to-CAD dataset, while the visual learning component alternates between training a visual feedback model and fine-tuning the LLM with the generated visual feedback.

## Installation

- Create a conda environment and install the generic dependencies.

```
name=<your-env-name>
conda create -n $name python=3.9
conda activate $name
python -m pip install -e .
```

- Install the additional dependencies for training.

```
python -m pip install -e .["train"]
```

- Install the additional dependencies for evaluation and rendering.

```
python -m pip install -e .["render"]
conda install -c conda-forge pythonocc-core=7.7.0
python -m pip install git+https://github.com/otaheri/chamfer_distance@dc9987dcf70888d387d96893ba1fb9ba9a333992
python -m pip install -e .["eval"]
```

## Data Preparation
CADFusion is trained by alternating the **Sequential Learning (SL)** stage and the **Visual Feedback (VF)** stage.
We introduce how to prepare the training data for these two stages in the below.

### Data for Sequential Learning

#### Approach 1: use human-annotated textual descriptions provided by us
We provide human-annoated textual descriptions and their correspoding CAD model IDs in [Skexgen](https://github.com/samxuxiang/SkexGen) under `data/sl_data/sl_data.zip`. It should contain the following files after unzipping:
```
data/sl_data
├── train.json
├── val.json
├── test.json
```
To use our annotated data, download the SkexGen data, unzip it as the reference dataset and run the convertion script to get the dataset. In detail, run the following command:
```
# make sure you are in the root directory of this repo and have the 'data/sl_data/sl_data.zip' unzipped
gdown --id 1so_CCGLIhqGEDQxMoiR--A4CQk4MjuOp 
unzip cad_data.zip
python3 data/sl_data/convert.py
```
The `train.json`, `val.json` and `test.json` under `data/sl_data` are the datasets.

#### Approach 2: create human-annotated textual descriptions by yourself
We provide a script to execute all the preprocessing steps until human annotation. 
```
./scripts/preprocess_skexgen.sh
```
If you want to customize the internal steps, expand the following section for more details.
<details>
<summary>Start from scratch (click to expand).</summary>

1. Download the [SkexGen](https://github.com/samxuxiang/SkexGen) data by: [Google Drive link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1so_CCGLIhqGEDQxMoiR--A4CQk4MjuOp/view).

```
gdown --id 1so_CCGLIhqGEDQxMoiR--A4CQk4MjuOp
unzip cad_data.zip
```

2. Convert the SkexGen data into sequences. Note that `train_deduplicate_s.pkl`, `val.pkl` and `test.pkl` should be converted separately.
```
python3 src/data_preprocessing/convert.py --in_path <skexgen_path> --out_path <sequence_path>
```

3. Render the sequences into images. *Note that running the last step on linux requires the installation of an x server (e.g. `xvfb`). See [this discussion.](https://github.com/tpaviot/pythonocc-core/issues/1302#issuecomment-2053526444)*
```
python3 src/rendering_utils/parser.py --in-path <sequence_path> --out-path <visual_object_folder>
timeout 180 python3 src/rendering_utils/parser_visual.py --data_folder <visual_object_folder>
python3 src/rendering_utils/img_renderer.py --input_dir <visual_object_folder> --output_dir <image_folder>
```

4. Annotate these data with LLM captioning.
```
# Generic:
python3 src/data_preprocessing/captioning.py --image-folder-path <image_folder> --out-path <sl_data_path>

```
* We use openai and azure system for LLM calling. You are welcome to use your own LLMs and prompts by changing `line 21, 22` of `src/data_preprocessing/captioning.py` with your own client definition and function calls.
</details>

### Data for Visual Feedback

The Visual Feedback dataset should be automatically generated from the Visual Feedback pipeline described in the Training section. 
We provide an example under `data/vf_data/example_vf_data.json` to help people understand how it should look like.
You can retrieve this file by unzipping `data/vf_data/example_vf_data.zip`.
We do not recommend using this example data as the training data, as the policy update should depend on its own generations.

## Training 
Our training receipe contains two parts. In the first part, we conduct initial sequential learning. In the second part, we conduct alternate training between sequential learning and visual feedback.
### Initial Sequential Learning
We use the following script to train the model in the sequential learning stage.
```
./scripts/train_with_shuffling.sh <run_name>
```

You are also welcome to customize the training procedure. A normal training script on multiple GPUs is provided. Change `num_processes` in `ds_config.yaml` to specify how many GPUs will be used.
```
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=<gpu_ids> accelerate launch --config_file ds_config.yaml src/train/llama_finetune.py \
    --num-epochs <num_epochs> --run-name <run_name> --data-path <train_data> --eval-data-path <eval_data> \
    --device-map accelerate --model-name llama3 --expdir <model_saving_path>
```

In our work we shuffle the dataset per x epochs. To train model with this implementation, inspect and modify `scripts/train_with_shuffling.sh`.

### Alternate Training between Sequential Learning and Visual Feedback
We provide a script for executing our alternate training round. See `scripts/alternate_VF.sh`.
```
./scripts/alternate_VF.sh  # change the value of base_name in the script as instructed
```
We also provide a script for training on multiple gpus for saving time: `scripts/alternate_VF_quadra_gpu.sh`. In our setting, we use 4 GPUs for training. You can change the script to use more GPUs if you have them available.

If you only want to conduct a single round of visual learning, run
```
python src/train/dpo.py --run-name <dpo_run_name> --pretrained-path <pretrained_model_path> --data-path <dpo_data_Path> --output-path <model_saving_path>
```
By default it runs dpo for 3 epochs, but you can change by adding flag `--num-epochs x`.

## Model Checkpoints
We provide two versions. 
v1.0 has 5 rounds of alternate training and is used for evaluation in our paper.
v1.1 has 9 rounds of alternate training and is considered to have better performance than v1.0.
- [CADFusion v1.0](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/CADFusion/tree/main/v1_0)
- [CADFusion v1.1](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/CADFusion/tree/main/v1_1)

You should download, unzip and place them under the `exp/model_ckpt` folder for using.

## Inference & Visualization
Use `scripts/generate_samples.sh`.
```
./scripts/generate_samples.sh <run_name> test --full
```
You can find samples generated in `exp/model_generation/<run_name>.jsonl` and rendered figures under the `exp/figures/<run_name>` folder. The point clouds, .obj files, .step and .stl files are saved under `exp/visual_objects/<run_name>` directory for your own usage and evaluation.

## Evaluation
Use the functions in `src/test`. This includes the Chamfer Distance (`chamfer_dist.py`), Minimum Matching Distance, Coverage, Jensen-Shannon Divergence (`dist_eval.py`), and the VLM score (`VLM_score.py`).

For VLM Score, we use Azure OpenAI API to access the GPT-4o model for scoring the CAD objects. 
In this way, you should log in your own azure account before using this module.
If your are using other LLM/VLM service and feel difficult to adapt to our setup, we provide the prompt in the python module that is available for you to integrate into your own testing pipeline.
