There just isn't enough interest among people who would be able for a
project like a parametric 3D CAD modeller.  The only project I know of
is Varkon (http://www.tech.oru.se/cad/varkon/man.htm).  When I tried
it a while back I gave up.  It wasn't very intuitive and I didn't have
much time.  There is active development but it is not a solid
modeller.
