CadCraft 0.6 impact map

Every fix and feature lined up for 0.6, and what each one touches: which apps, and which layers of the stack. The layers are the ones on the Fork Map. 0.6 has shipped: this map keeps what it built, and every item that was not finished moved to 0.7.

Every fix and feature

Grouped by track. App chips carry each app’s layer colour; Studio is in ink. "Waits on" names what has to happen first; the small lines under it say who asked and where the item is written up.

FixBot obtainedDC.53 Link to DC.53 BimCraft: elements ghost when a section is applied

In BimCraft, certain elements disappear or become transparent when a section is applied, depending on view angle.

FixBot obtainedDC.57 Link to DC.57 BimCraft: model imports at an angle, sections misalign, copied doors snap to the wrong space

BimCraft model imports at wrong angle; section cuts misalign; copied elements (doors) snap to modeled space rather than actual model when snap-to-wall is enabled.

FixFIX-061-CLOUD Link to FIX-061-CLOUD BimCraft: the point cloud jumps about 1.5 m when walls are drawn

Scan to BIM (BimCraft 0.6 desktop, LAS 4.39M points, aligned to a level and turned square): after the first three walls the cloud jumps about 1.5 m up and sideways and the plan slice almost disappears; the same with Place = Model coordinates (walls then sit beside the facade in 3D); undo puts it back. cc-ifc centred the model on its first element and the rebuild after an edit centred it again. Fixed in /lab (the coordination matrix is kept through rebuildNow; cloud-ui.js keeps its placement). Tests: --draw06 df22 and browser-draw06.mjs df22. Workaround told to the reporter: draw one wall first, then open and align the scan. docs/0.6.1.md 61.1.

FixFIX-061-SQUARE Link to FIX-061-SQUARE BimCraft: "Turn it square to the building" can swing the point cloud out of view

In Place = Model coordinates, "Turn it square" once gave -4.17° and the cloud swung out of view. Undo the alignment and aligning again gave -3.2° and worked. Check the turn's centre in model coordinates (it may be the same re-centring as FIX-061-CLOUD). docs/0.6.1.md 61.5.

FixFIX-061-WALL-SIDE Link to FIX-061-WALL-SIDE BimCraft: "Outside on left" puts the wall body inside when drawing clockwise

Drawing exterior walls clockwise in plan with "Outside on left" put the wall body on the inside of the line. docs/0.6.1.md 61.6.

FeatureDC.114 Link to DC.114 BimCraft families on top of IFC types

Replicate Revit's family idea inside BimCraft: IFC has types (IfcElementType) and occurrences (IfcElement) but no families, so the family system lives in the app and maps to type-instance relations. Families keep a long type list manageable (one two-sided door in many sizes). A first family editor needs basic geometry operations, Booleans and visibility parameters; richer parametrics later.

FeatureDC.117 Link to DC.117 BimCraft views: crop, reflected ceiling plans, callouts, drafting lines and hatch

Next step after drafting walls and elements is laying out views, which takes BimCraft past a 3D modeling program. Asked for: a sophisticated view system. Floor plans with a cut plane, view range, crop region, scale, object visibility control and an underlay. Reflected ceiling plans, to place ceilings and ceiling-mounted fixtures. Callout views, each a child view derived from another view. Drafting lines and hatch regions in each of these views. Already built (DF.19): project browser, floor plans with a view range (cut height, top, bottom, depth), visibility by category and element, view templates, sheets you arrange. Not built: crop region, reflected ceiling plans, callout views, drafting lines and hatch in a view, detail views and legends; per-view scale and underlay to be checked. Session bim-views_PART_2 spikes first, then the owner picks the cut line.
