FeatureSU.1058 Link to SU.1058Comment on SU.1058 Project document manager: check-out, revisions, release states

Asked: a document manager like a paid PDM, without that price (#1058; again #1129: "shouldn't have to pay to manage my own files"). Built (vault-09 2026-11-06, in /lab; docs/0.9-sessions/vault-09.md): the Documents panel over a project folder in CadCraft (View > More > Documents..., or DOCUMENTS), PartCraft and BimCraft (File > Documents...), and so in SuperCad Studio, which hosts them. Check out and in with a lock file two people respect, revision letters (A.1, A.2, A, B.1; ASME skip), states (work in progress, for review, released, obsolete) with the revision table and a revision block on the sheet, history of who did what, where-used and BOM (PartCraft assemblies, xrefs, IFC links), approver list and four eyes (LC.8 merged), title-block fields VAULT.REV/STATE/DATE/APPROVER, read-only guard on Save, cloud folders in Studio (server built). Walkthrough: help topic "Documents and revisions (the vault)" in the three apps. Tested: lib/vault 141, UI 68, bridge 15, cloud 22, TWO REAL PROCESSES on one folder and on a cloud folder 86 (24 of 24 simultaneous check-outs, one winner each), walkthrough buttons 82; real pages 26+26+45 and Super 15; lock_ops.rs 4 under rustc. Found and fixed: BimCraft did not mount in Super. Not built: the sheet set's index does not show each sheet's revision; Open copy and Compare only in CadCraft; the approver is a typed name; no cloud folder in a web tab (Studio first); the commands in desktop-shell are not cargo-compiled (Windows Studio 0.9 build). Real shared-folder check with two people: SU.1058-HAND.

FeatureSU.1056 Link to SU.1056Comment on SU.1056 Structural follow-up: concrete design, slabs and shear walls, wind and seismic loads

Asked: ETABS as the main program, so a Linux user can switch (#1056, Oct 25). Same family as SU.878 (#878, #754, #859), #908 and #890. Built and reachable in the Analysis panel of BimCraft and DetailCraft: model (members, end releases, slabs, walls, rigid floors, supports), load cases and your own loads (node, member, area pressures), combinations typed by hand or made from ASCE 7 and EN 1990, first-order and P-Delta results (forces, reactions, deflections, plate moments), natural frequencies by finite elements (modal masses, mode shapes), concrete member and slab checks (0.8), seismic equivalent lateral force with drift check (0.8), reports (PDF, CSV). Wind can be entered as your own pressures in a Wind case; every panel says 'not a code check; your engineer reviews the results'. Not built (split to SU.1056b): wind loads made from ASCE 7-22 chapters 26-27 and the code's seismic hazard data. Response spectrum, time history and nonlinear analysis: built (see the last line). Not there: design checks beyond those listed. This is a frame and shell analysis program for the stated ask; it is not ETABS and makes no claim to equal it. mounts-09 2026-11-06: P-Delta help in BimCraft. fem-complete 2026-11-06: modal block wired in both apps, help, tests (docs/0.9-sessions/fem-09.md). dynamics 2026-11-06: response spectrum (CQC, SRSS, ten percent, 100/30 or SRSS directions, table or ASCE 7 shape, optional scale to a typed base shear), time history (modal and Newmark, Rayleigh and modal damping, record file, paste or synthetic), pushover and nonlinear time history by plastic hinges with P-delta. Blocks under Finite elements in BimCraft and DetailCraft; real-building check = SU.1056-HAND. Not built: brace yielding and buckling, hinges inside a span, code checks.

FeatureSU.1123 Link to SU.1123Comment on SU.1123 BimCraft: edit directly in elevation and section views; custom sheet sizes and title blocks; rename families and types

Asked (#1123, Oct 29, a Revit user): edit the project inside elevation and section views (avoids extra sheets), customise sheet formats, rename families and other elements. Do: draw and move walls, openings, levels and annotations in elevation and section views (the plan edit tools run in the view's plane); sheet sizes and title-block templates as library data (name, size, border, fields); rename family, type and element from the browser. Relates to D8.12 (BimCraft working style), DC.117 (views), DC.114 (families on IFC types). **Implementation started 2026-11-02** (0.9 top-5 pick #3, hardest first; session `bim-views-09`, log docs/0.9-sessions/bim-views-09.md). Status moves to Partly built or Built only when the code is reachable and tested (rule 49).

FeatureSU.1125 Link to SU.1125Comment on SU.1125 BimCraft: export the model as Collada (.dae) for Blender and Google Earth

Asked (#1125, Oct 29): export a BIM model to Collada (.dae) for rendering in Blender and viewing in Google Earth. ModelCraft already writes and reads Collada 1.4.1 (io.js exportDAE / importDAE). Do: reuse that writer from BimCraft (elements as nodes with materials, metres, Z up), optional geolocation block for Google Earth, and a test that Blender reads it. **Implementation started 2026-11-02** (0.9 pick #9, second five, hardest first; session `bim-dae-09`, log docs/0.9-sessions/bim-dae-09.md). Status moves to Partly built or Built only when the code is reachable and tested (rule 49).

FeatureSU.1112 Link to SU.1112Comment on SU.1112 Live in every app: see each other's cursors and names while co-editing

Asked (#1112, Oct 28): collaboration where people see each other's cursors, so working in teams is easier. CadCraft's Live already shows other people's cursors and selections (live.js presence). Do: the same presence layer in the other apps' Live sessions (cursor, name colour, selection), reusing the CadCraft code through the shared Live library. Relates to DC.27 and EG.41. **Implementation started 2026-11-02** (0.9 pick #7, second five, hardest first; session `live-cursors-09`, log docs/0.9-sessions/live-cursors-09.md). Status moves to Partly built or Built only when the code is reachable and tested (rule 49). **Built 2026-11-02** (session `live-cursors-09`, log docs/0.9-sessions/live-cursors-09.md): one shared presence layer (assets/js/live-presence.js, synced by tools/shell/sync.mjs) with a thin adapter in each app's live.js; BimCraft, ModelCraft, TakeoffCraft, CivilCraft, DetailCraft and PartCraft now show cursors, names in the person's color and selections; CadCraft and MarkupCraft keep their own views on the same palette. Tested with two real pages per app (tools/live-apps-test/browser-apps.mjs) and test-presence.mjs.

FeatureSU.1119 Link to SU.1119Comment on SU.1119 Environmental analysis: shade studies, daylight, PV yield, wind and outdoor comfort on the site and the building

Asked (#1119, Oct 29): what Autodesk Forma and ClimateStudio give: solar angles, shade studies, interior daylight, PV analysis, wind studies, thermal comfort, auto-generated site information. Already built: sun hours and massing (LC.1), daylight, sun and grid (LC.20), EnergyPlus wasm (0.8). Missing: shade-study images and animations on the site, PV yield on roofs and facades, outdoor comfort (UTCI) from weather files, and wind (the hard one: needs a validated solver, never invented). Candidate: owner chooses. **Implementation started 2026-11-02** (0.9 pick #14, third five, hardest first; session `env-analysis-09`, log docs/0.9-sessions/env-analysis-09.md). Status moves to Partly built or Built only when the code is reachable and tested (rule 49). **2026-11-02 (env-analysis-09):** built in the shared library lib/envir (solar position tested against NREL SPA and Meeus, shade study with sun/shade-hours maps, shaded-area series and an animation, PV yield on roofs and walls from an EPW file with the model written out, UTCI from the published polynomial, 78 + 17 tests). Wind is not built: it needs a validated solver, and the validation list is in the log. Reachable once the one mount line lands in CivilCraft's massing-ui.js.

BimCraftCivilCraft Built · in the lab 12 Built in 0.9; wind is Experimental, not validated vs wind-tunnel data (only Cp converges). Owner: check .epw vs PVWatts, UTCI; AIJ/CEDVAL data. From: site suggestion (Suggestion) docs/0.9-PLAN.md § 9, from /admin/suggestions 2026-11-02
FeatureSU.1192 Link to SU.1192Comment on SU.1192 DetailCraft: UK steel sizes (UB, UC, PFC, EA, UEA, CHS, SHS, RHS) and unequal angles

Asked (#1192, Nov 3): add UK steel member sizes for UB, UC, PFC, EA, UEA, CHS, SHS, RHS. Built in /lab: 976 sizes from the Steel for Life Blue Book (hot finished and cold formed hollow sections apart) in the shared section table, in DetailCraft's profile lists, CadCraft's Standard panel, PartCraft weldments and BimCraft's rolled-shape check. Sizes typed as on drawings work (305x165x40 UB, L100x100x10). DetailCraft now handles unequal angles: both legs in IFC in and out and NC files, a mirror turns the piece end for end. Not checked yet by a UK fabricator; NC files for UEA not run on a machine.

FeatureSU.1132 Link to SU.1132Comment on SU.1132 BimCraft: scan to BIM, walls, floors and openings proposed from a point cloud

Asked (#1132, Oct 31): scan to BIM, naming the commercial scan-to-BIM programs and plug-ins. Checked 2026-11-05: BimCraft reads point clouds (PLY, PCD, PTX, LAS; E57 in part) as a reference, and the Point clouds add-on (PC rows, CivilCraft, /lab) views, slices and measures large clouds. EG.37 (0.8) was a spike only: a phone scan's slice traced into walls and rooms, not in BimCraft's menus. Not built: the point clouds add-on in BimCraft (PC.11, planned) and automatic extraction of walls, floors, columns, doors and windows. Do, after PC.11: slice by level, fit wall lines to the slice (the 0.7 plan trace), propose walls with thickness and height for the person to accept, and report how far each wall is from the points. Nothing was built for this card on 2026-11-05. scan-bim-09 2026-11-06 (partial): see docs/0.9-sessions/scan-bim-09.md.
