How to make a player dashboard token rail with vibe CAD
Arrange a player's current resources or status tokens in a single visible row. Shallow open bays sit beside an existing dashboard, keeping pieces organized without clipping onto printed artwork or reproducing a commercial game's design.

01 / START WITH THE REAL OBJECT
Measure before you prompt.
- Width, thickness and outline of each token type.
- Number of bays needed during normal play.
- Available length beside the player dashboard.
- Preferred finger-access width at the front of each bay.
State units. If a dimension is missing, have your agent ask for it.
02 / GIVE YOUR AGENT A CLEAR BRIEF
Copy this into your CAD conversation.
Use Claude or another agent with a CAD tool such as OpenSCAD, CadQuery or your existing modeler. Fill in your measurements and keep the source editable.
Create a generic player-token rail with token_sizes, bay_count, bay_clearance, rail_length, bay_depth and finger_opening. Ask for missing component dimensions and the user's own neutral bay labels. Make open shallow bays on a continuous base, with a low rear wall and curved front access. Keep the rail freestanding beside the dashboard and do not reproduce copyrighted artwork or logos.03 / INSPECT AS YOU BUILD
Model it in deliberate steps.
Define the information layout
List the token groups in the order players naturally read them. Use fewer wider bays if several tokens must share a position.
Build the rail footprint
Fit the requested bays into the available length while preserving finger space. Keep the rear wall low enough that standing or stacked tokens remain visible.
Add pickup relief
Cut a curved front opening into each bay. Preview a token moving outward and upward so neighboring dividers do not obstruct removal.
04 / VALIDATE THE FIRST PROTOTYPE
Check the fit and intended use.
- Compare a full-size paper rail with the actual player dashboard.
- Review one representative bay coupon before repeating its dimensions.
- Check the tallest intended token stack against the rear wall and sightline.
