Do you need to generate AutoLISP from Processing, or do you need an AutoLISP interface of some kind through some protocol / API…? Or would exporting / importing models in different formats solve your problem?

There is a very old library, SuperCAD [1](https://processing.org/discourse/beta/num_1219666009.html), [2](https://forum.processing.org/one/topic/anyone-has-supercad-library.html) which I don’t think is updated or working with Processing 3 but might be of interest…
