  • Planned 0 on the plan for the release it is filed under
  • Built 297 built and working in /lab (the dev builds). Whether the public has it is its reach: "in the lab", "Live" (the last gate) or "switched off"; see docs/REACH-LIVE.md
  • Partly built 0 part of it is built in /lab; the rest waits (see "Waits on")
  • Promised 0 the live site already says it is coming
  • Moved 0 moved here from an earlier release or wishlist
  • Found 0 bug found after a release shipped; fixed in a point release or the next one
  • Candidate 0 recommended in a spike or session log; owner to choose
  • Community please test 0 built and in /use; a Discord post gives the steps and the expected result and asks people to try it on their own devices, files or know-how
  • Decision Time 0 a decision, check, file, key, flag or go only you can give; folds into the list once answered

Built means built and working in the lab. Live means the public can use it, and is the last gate: 293 Built · Live, 4 Built · in the lab.

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.

The owner on Discord (2026-10-19): BimCraft opens a .ccbundle.zip in 0.7, and every CadCraft app can open one as well. Bundle format docs/spikes/archicad-bundle.md; reader bundle-open.js (BimCraft). Related: DF.12b Archicad bundle.

FeatureDC.115 Link to DC.115 Keep IFC geometry editable instead of tessellating it

Keep IFC's own geometry representations (extrusions, swept solids, Booleans) wherever possible so a model exports compactly and can be edited later; many programs store only a list of faces. Reuse the modeling code from ModelCraft for the family editor. Owner 2026-10-22: planned for 0.7 as part of the family work: the families already write IFC's own solids (0.6); BIM-FAM-MORE keeps that rule, and BIM-FAM-SOLID checks what other IFC files and tessellated imports do. Session bim-07.

FeatureD8.9 Link to D8.9 BimCraft: any projection — UTM, EPSG codes and your own

Pick the map projection from the full list (every UTM zone and EPSG system, by number or name) instead of a short list, and add your own: paste a projection definition, or load a .prj file, for plans drawn on a custom projection. Used for the model's location, map layers, point clouds and terrain, and saved in the model. Discord 2026-10-27, owner: "add 0.8". Plan docs/0.8-PART4.md § D8.9.

FeatureD8.14 Link to D8.14 Full-screen crosshair, edge to edge, in every app (CURSORSIZE 100)

Settings › General › Full-screen crosshair: one switch for all eight apps. Two thin lines through the pointer run edge to edge across the drawing or view under it, so you can check by eye that two things line up; toolbars, cards and hints over the view stay on top, and nothing changes with a finger. CadCraft draws it itself (in the active pane of a split view, following the UCS) and also has it as a fourth cursor size, Full screen, set by CURSORSIZE as in AutoCAD: 100 is full screen, a smaller number picks the nearest size (under 5 Small, 5–9 Medium, 10–99 Large). Discord 2026-10-30 (a Discord member, from the other CadCraft channel), owner: "need another feature added to 0.8 now", then "allow the fullscreen crosshairs on all apps". Built 2026-10-30, ready in /lab; plan docs/0.8-PART4.md § D8.14.

Asked on Discord: "CabinetCraft, CAD software for designing custom cabinets, like Cabinet Vision or Mozaik". Owner: sounds like an add-on rather than an app, so it is built as an add-on for PartCraft on top of the existing cabinet model, cut list and 32 mm drilling (SU.1035).
