There’s an addon that supports PCAP files [0]. It works quite well in my experience.

Fully agree that the tooling and setup are not ideal. In case this may help others, I've been using Jupyter-CadQuery [0], an extension for JupyterLab to view your models in a side panel within the Jupyter notebook web interface. There's a docker image that packages the whole thing (CadQuery + JupyterLab + the extension) in the docker folder, making it easy to run and to update. The image is also available from docker hub [1].

On a more general note, I've mostly been using CadQuery to model pieces for 3d printing and the experience has been quite fun. Errors are not always easy to figure out and there's a learning curve to consider, but being able to "simply" describe my model in code instead of relying lots of [point|drag|click] is totally worth it. It was also a nice way to refresh my geometry knowledge.
