In what way does LibreCAD writing out .dxfs, or Solvespace or BRL-CAD having a human-readable file format option developed not suit your needs?

That said, I believe this would be helped immensely by an overview of CAD --- fortunately, one was published a while back, and dragged back from 404-ness by one CAD vendor:

a reading of that to understand the overall context would probably provide a solid foundation for your efforts.

There has been some recent discussion of making OpenSCAD and derivatives thereof more interactive:

and various efforts/research:

Agree w/ @jpm_sd that Dune 3D is well worth looking at (it's the only interactive 3D CAD where I was actually able to make it through the tutorial).
