# SimpleCAD Standard Library Index
This index includes generated docs for standard part factory functions. Use these functions first when a task needs a standard mechanical part and does not require complex custom geometry changes.
## Import Surfaces
- Recommended package-level module export: `import simplecadapi as scad`, then call functions through submodules such as `scad.std.gear.<function>(...)`, `scad.std.fastener.<function>(...)`, and `scad.std.bearing.<function>(...)`.
- Direct submodule import is also supported, for example `from simplecadapi.std.gear import make_spur_gear_rsolid` or `from simplecadapi.std.bearing import make_ball_bearing_rassembly`.
## Usage Guidance
- Prefer standard-library factories for standard bearings, fasteners, spur gears, straight bevel gears, ring gears, and racks before hand-modeling profiles with core geometry APIs.
- Standard parts return normal SimpleCAD shapes or product assemblies, so they can be transformed, tagged, assembled, exported, or combined with core geometry operations.
- Switch to core geometry APIs only when the requested standard part needs substantial custom geometry beyond the factory parameters.
