Wall tool spec pages 4-8 (Duncan, 2026-11-05), tracked at /roadmap-internal 'BimCraft wall tool specification'. Icons: the DU.1 family (assets/js/app-workspace-icons.js: 32 grid, 1.5 round stroke, two-tone fills, Full Color or Outline). Not built (page 5): Rectangle (four walls, four corner joins, one action), Rotated rectangle, Polygon (inscribed / circumscribed), Arc by centre (centre, radius, sweep), Tangent arc (continues from the last segment), Pick lines (one line or edge at a time; Tab picks the chain; today only a whole DWG / DXF / PDF scan), Trace outline (click inside a closed area; today only 'Develop this mass'). Each is a recipe on the Place block (addWall, Wall tool, model-trace.js) ending in the join solver (FX.60); the Shape list on the Wall button holds the shapes. Icons: wallrect, wallrectrot, wallpoly, wallarcc, walltan, wallpick, walltrace. OTHER APPS: CadCraft already has rectangle and polygon as drawing tools but not as walls with joined corners: its plan walls (FX.59) should get the same recipes from one shared place. Not started.
