HeeksCAD supports cuboids, spheres, cylinders and cones as basic 3D solids. Further geometric objects may be created by sweeping or connecting 2D shapes.^[3][4]

HeeksCAD makes extensive use of local coordinate systems. For example, these are used to define the drawing plane and the direction of an extrusion.^[5]

The program can be extended with additional plugins.^[6] Plugins are available for Python scripting, milling and freeform surface modelling.
