FeatureZA.1 Link to ZA.1Comment on ZA.1 South African market: SANS 10143 drawing practice + SANS 10400 building regulations

Sell into South Africa: local practice draws to SANS 10143 (building drawing practice) and builds to SANS 10400 (National Building Regulations). Full note for the 2026-10-26 meeting: docs/0.8-ZA-STANDARDS.md. Today: no SA support. BimCraft residential is hard-coded to US codes (res-stair.js IRC stair limits, res-framing.js 2x lumber + US header table, US egress window, US electrical symbols). Suggested order: 1. Built on REG.1: regulations by jurisdiction as library packs; ZA.1 delivers the South African country packs. 2. SANS 10143 drawing pack: metric mm dims, levels in m, A-series sheets, SA title block (erf, SACAP reg. no.), hatches, symbols, D1/W1 marks. 3. SA residential defaults: 230/280 cavity masonry, SA brick and block, 38x114/38x152 timber, trusses, IBR/tile roofs; Part M stair and Part O window-area checks. 4. Part XA energy check (climate zones 1-6, fenestration, R-values) and an SA municipal submission set export. The differentiator. 5. CivilCraft: Hartebeesthoek94 Lo zones with the Y-westing / X-southing axis flip; SANS 10142 electrical symbols. Business: SANS texts are copyrighted (buy, encode, cite clauses, edition dates); POPIA; ZAR + 15% VAT, regional pricing?; offline/load-shedding is a selling point. Meeting questions: 0.8 market or later? Buy the SANS set? An SA reviewer? Regional pricing? Drawing pack or XA first? Afrikaans? All SANS figures are from memory; check against purchased copies before shipping. LAB SAMPLE (2026-10-25): a small South African pack (stairs, room height, window and openable area) can be seen in /lab/bimcraft under Settings > Building regulations. Its numbers are unchecked.

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).

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).

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.

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.

FeatureBot obtainedGH.10 Link to GH.10Comment on GH.10 Assistant/MCP: tools to place electrical devices (sockets, switches, lights, …)

### What do you need to do Let an AI assistant place electrical devices (sockets, switches, luminaires, detectors, boards, …) through the MCP / assistant interface, the same way it can already draw walls, openings, floors and cable carriers. Today the assistant tool set has no way to create a device: - `carrier_add` draws cable trays and conduits, and `carriers_check` / `lighting_check` / `loads_set` / `photometry_set` work on what is there, - but none of the ~80 tools (`agents.js`, `mep-agents.js`, `bim-agent.js`, …) places a device. `furniture_add` only furnishes rooms by rule. So an assistant can route conduits to an outlet it cannot create, and an electrical plan still has to be clicked in by hand. The building blocks already exist in `app/res-elec.js` (`placeDevice`, `changeDevice`, `linkLight`, `removeDevices`, `DEVICES` with 33 kinds). Exposing them as tools would cover it, for example: | Tool | Does | Arguments (sketch) | |---|---|---| | `devices_add` | Place one or more devices | `level`, `kind` (a key of `DEVICES`), `at` [x, y] mm, optional `wall` (snap to the nearest wall face like the UI does), `height`, `angle`, `circuit`, `load_w`, `tag` | | `device_change` | Change tag, circuit, load, height, position | `guid` + fields | | `lights_link` | Link a switch / sensor to the lights it controls | `switch`, `lights[]` | | `devices_delete` | Remove devices (and unlink lights) | `guids[]` | | `devices_list` | Devices of a level with kind, tag, circuit, load, height, host wall, linked lights | `level` | Typical requests this would enable: - "Put a double socket every 2 m along the walls of the living room on level 1, 300 mm high, circuit 3." - "Add a ceiling li… Opened on GitHub by a Discord member: https://github.com/getcadcraft/bimcraft/issues/16 Sweep 2026-11-05: accepted into 0.9.

FeatureD8.12 Link to D8.12Comment on D8.12 BimCraft: a working style in Settings — how duplicated views, printing and element classes behave

Discord (a Discord member, Oct 28; owner 2026-10-30: "feels like a LAYOUT in settings"): people coming from the two big BIM programs expect different behaviour, and neither is wrong. Settings › BimCraft › Working style picks a preset that sets the defaults of D8.12-A…D, each still changeable on its own, like the workspace layouts (Track WS): - Each view its own (default): a duplicated view copies its annotations and they stay that view's; sheets print as the screen shows. - Shared annotations and pen tables: duplicates share annotations; printing goes through a pen table. Names describe the way of working, never a product (trademark rule). Checked in /lab 2026-10-30 — already there: families and the family editor (BIM-FAM-MORE, partly built), docked ribbon and toolbox + info box layouts (Track WS), drafting shown only in its own view (DC.117 d), view templates (DF.19), per-view pen overrides (SU.1055, partly). Missing: D8.12-A duplicate a view, D8.12-B print as shown, D8.12-C use an element as another class, D8.12-D project templates. Also from the thread: a Discord member pointed at the vendor's public ideas forum (most-voted) as a list of what users miss; a Discord member offered to work through our project files as an experienced user — the owner/a Discord member to send files. **Implementation started 2026-11-02** (0.9 top-5 pick #2, hardest first; session `bim-views-09`, log docs/0.9-sessions/bim-views-09.md).

FeatureD8.12-A Link to D8.12-AComment on D8.12-A BimCraft: duplicate a view, as its own copy or linked

Today a plan is one view per level plus callouts; there is no Duplicate. Add Duplicate on plans, ceiling plans, sections, elevations and callouts with a choice: Own copy (drafting, dimensions, crop, hidden elements and pen overrides copied; editing or deleting them changes only that view — the default) or Linked (one set shared by both views). The working style (D8.12) sets which one is offered first. Older views on issued sheets must never change because a later copy was edited (the requester's point: revisions are not a straight line). Stored in the IFC as now (CadCraft_PlanView / CadCraft_Drafting View key).

Pen overrides (SU.1055, pens.js) live in the browser only (localStorage bimcraft.pens), cover walls, doors and windows, and are not on the printed plan yet. Do: keep them in the IFC with the view, cover every category (and drafting), and draw sheets and the PDF exactly as the screen shows (default). The other working style prints through a pen table (colour → weight and ink), reusing CadCraft's plot-style work (DC.14) rather than a second format. Closes SU.1055's pen-override rest.

Keep the drawing tool's geometry and editing but report the element as another IFC class (and predefined type), so schedules, takeoff, Problems and the IFC export count a slab drawn as a road as a road, not a floor. A "Report as" field in Properties (search of IFC classes that fit the shape), one undo step, round-trips through IFC2X3 and IFC4; schedules group by the reported class. The requester's point: the other program files these as generic models and its schedules stay wrong.

FeatureFX.56 Link to FX.56Comment on FX.56 Auto-focus panel (Settings › Global) and split tool tiles

Owner 2026-11-05. (1) Auto-focus panel: one engine in the shell (window.ccAutoFocus in assets/js/app-settings.js, CSS in app-shell.css, strings in lang/shell): a panel with several sections opens one and closes the others, a lock beside the caret keeps a section open, remembered per panel; a menu command opens the section it works with; a Settings switch (cc-autofocus, default on) lets people choose how the apps work best. CivilCraft: the left panel (Landscape on) and the Properties panel (groups by heading). The other seven apps adopt it by registering their panels. (2) CivilCraft Landscape ribbon tiles that hold several tools (Grade, Hardscape, Areas, Levels, Irrigation) are split buttons: the icon runs the tool used last, the edge with the arrow opens the menu (civilcraft/a Discord member/split-menu.js); the same pattern is wanted in the other apps. Tested headless: panels, setting on/off, split clicks; Landscape 533/0. Added 2026-11-05: Hardscape, Areas and Levels have their own sections in the Landscape panel (tools + what is drawn); the toolbox (layouts with a tool list) joins the auto-focus panel: its groups close each other, and the toolbox group and the panel section follow each other (shell: ccAutoFocus mode details, app-workspace.js tbxAf; civil link in landscape-ui.js). 2026-11-05 all eight apps: window.ccAutoFocus.auto() folds every app side panel with two or more sections (a section heading or its *-sec-head bar; MarkupCraft details sections; toolbox groups in the toolbox layouts), no per-app code; Settings › Global › Auto-focus panels switches it off. Split tool tiles stay CivilCraft-only until the other apps ask.

FeatureD9.1 Link to D9.1Comment on D9.1 BimCraft: change several columns at once (height, top, size)

Ask: "select multiple columns and edit their height in one go; the height options only show when one column is selected." Several columns picked together already shared Shape, Size, Top and Height, but a pick that also caught a wall or another element (columns stand in walls on grid lines; a box catches both) showed only "N elements picked" with no fields. Built: a pick of several kinds lists each kind with "Keep only these", one click keeps the columns and their shared fields show. Fields where the columns differ are empty ("Mixed"), never the first column's value; Height typed once makes every picked column that tall (a column following the level above gets the offset that makes it so); Top keeps each column's own level above.

Built: Draw › Measure on the plan: click two points for a dimension with the distance and ΔX / ΔY; points snap to wall ends, grid lines and crossings, columns; Shift keeps a leg straight; more clicks chain on with a running total; Esc clears it. Nothing is written to the model. With only the plan shown, M opens it (with the 3D view on screen M stays the 3D Measure).

FeatureD8.15 Link to D8.15Comment on D8.15 BimCraft: type the drawing scale on a sheet (1:64, 1:256, any ratio)

Asked (pasted 2026-11-06). Built: a "Type a scale" box next to the scale list on every placed view (plans, ceiling plans, callouts, elevations, sections, interior elevations). Accepts 1:64, 1:256, 1:2.5, 2:1, a bare 64, and architectural 1/4" = 1', 3/16 in = 1 ft; Fit stays as the list's first choice; a word that is not a scale says so and changes nothing. A typed ratio is kept to 3 decimals in the file and is the label under the view. 12 typed forms + refusals tested; a view at 1:256 measures a quarter of its 1:64 size.

FeatureD8.17 Link to D8.17Comment on D8.17 BimCraft: use your own sheet design with writeable fields (draw it, or import an SVG)

Asked (pasted 2026-11-06). Built: Formats… > Import SVG… reads a drawing from any program (rect, line, polyline, polygon, circle, ellipse, path with curves and arcs, text, groups, transforms) into lines and words; a word written {{company}}, {{drawing-name}}, {{number}}, {{project}}, {{date}} or any word of your own becomes a field typed per sheet ({{drawing-name}} / {{number}} are the sheet's own); a rectangle with id="drawing-area" says where the views go (Arrange for me uses it). Formats… > Draw one… is a small editor (rectangle, line, words / fields, drawing area, border, undo) that makes the same kind of SVG. The design is fitted to the sheet (never stretched), kept in the model as a title block, carried by the library file, and printed to PDF. Scripts and images in an SVG are ignored (read as shapes, never put on the page). Limits: a design drawn here is not re-opened for editing (delete and draw again, or edit the exported SVG); fills are grey, colours are not kept; fonts are the sheet's own. Not yet shared with the other apps' sheets (the parser is a DOM-free file, ready to sync). Tests in views09 --only t (30) and browser-views09 --only t (13).

Asked on /suggest (#1236, Nov 6 2026, in German, “Zeichnung vergrößern, verkleinern”): “Details should be zoomable; often the drawing in the edit window is too small and it is hard to see details.” The submitter did not say which app. Checked 2026-11-07: CadCraft has a ZOOM command and view zoom already; the report reads as someone not finding it, or a drawing that opens small (page or sheet view, a small window, a large paper size), or a touch screen where pinch/scroll do not work. Do: find which app and device (reply in German if there is an email), then check: zoom buttons visible on the canvas for mouse-less use, zoom to a window, zoom to the drawing on open, and the German labels (Vergrößern, Verkleinern, Alles zoomen). Not built yet. Built 2026-11-07 (lab, CadCraft): toolbar View group has Zoom in (2×) and Zoom out (½) beside Extents, Window and Previous, centred on the view (ZOOM 2x / ZOOM 0.5x, which already worked typed); tooltips say the wheel zooms at the pointer. bin/test-cadcraft.mjs 2815/0.

Education (Track ED) 2
FeatureED.1 Link to ED.1Comment on ED.1 Live TeamWork: follow the teacher (follow the presenter)

Owner 2026-11-03 (educator kit): "allow students to follow the teacher". Built in a Live TeamWork session (assets/js/live-follow.js, shared by every app that uses the live presence layer; CadCraft and MarkupCraft mount it from their own live UI). A person can choose Follow on another person's name and their view moves with the presenter's: 2D camera centre and zoom (a smaller window zooms out to show all of the leader's view), 3D eye, target, field of view and parallel height, and the sheet, storey or space when the app can open it. The host can press "Ask everyone to follow me"; each joiner can still step away. Following stops by itself when the follower pans, zooms or orbits on their own, and a chip names who they were following and offers to rejoin. The view travels in the existing presence message, newest only, and nothing about it is saved in the file. Not tried in a live session with real students; the educator kit copy can now mention it.

FeatureED.2 Link to ED.2Comment on ED.2 Live TeamWork: class view, the teacher looks in on each student's work

Owner 2026-11-03 (educator kit): "allow instructor to look at student progress". Built as the people list in Live TeamWork (same module, assets/js/live-follow.js): everyone in the session with their colour and name, the tool they are running, the sheet they are on, how many edits this window saw from them and when the last one was, and a Follow button on each, so the teacher can go to a student's view. Names from other people reach the page as text only. NOT built from the first plan: students each working in their own drawing inside a class room, a live thumbnail of each student's work, and "Look in" read-only or "Help" with a separate viewer role. Today the class works in one shared drawing and the teacher sees the class at a glance in the list. Not tried in a live session with real students.

FeatureATTR.7 Link to ATTR.7Comment on ATTR.7 Library credits table on a sheet in CadCraft and BimCraft

Owner 2026-11-03. BimCraft: every drawing set with Library items gets a Library credits schedule, including doors and windows, made again from the model each time and placeable on any sheet. CadCraft: the CREDITS command (ribbon, and a button in the Library credits view) draws the credits as one block of lines and text, at a point and text height you choose; it saves to DXF; running it again updates the table in place and adds no second copy. Both use lib/report/credits.js, required credits first, CC0 after. Limits: CadCraft's table updates only when CREDITS is run; BimCraft sheets print with Helvetica, so non-Latin credits show as ?. Tests: bin/test-cadcraft.mjs, bin/test-bimcraft.mjs --lib-openings and --res, tools/super-test/binder.mjs (real CadCraft panel). The BimCraft schedule was not clicked through in the app's Sheets dialog. In /lab, not released.

FeatureLIB.C1 Link to LIB.C1Comment on LIB.C1 Library collections: the Library is the one home of every object; each app starts from a default collection

Owner 2026-11-05: library as the primary source of all object information; CivilCraft gets a default collection from the Library (its plants and items), usable in every app. Spec docs/0.9-LIBRARY-COLLECTIONS.md. Built: collections tables (migration 124), LibraryCollections, GET /api/v1/library/collections[/<slug>|/app/<app>], bin/library-collection-make.php, test bin/test-library-collections.php (17/0). Next: publish the 421 seed plants (bin/library-import-plants.php, dry run clean), make civilcraft-landscape the CivilCraft default, then CivilCraft Landscape loads it (C.3), places any Library item (C.4), other apps add it (C.5). Parametric Library objects (params + generator) are a separate track. C.2 done 2026-11-05: 421 seed plants published as Library plant items (system author), collection civilcraft-landscape published and set as CivilCraft default; served at /api/v1/library/collections/app/civilcraft. C.3 started 2026-11-05 (in /lab): the Plants section says where its list came from (the civilcraft-landscape collection, count, revision, or the built-in list when the Library is unreachable); Landscape panel sections fold shut and a menu command opens the one it works with (landscape/fold.js). The app still reads plants.csv for the data; reading the collection manifest itself comes next. C.3 done 2026-11-05 (in /lab): CivilCraft Landscape now reads its plants from its default collection (GET /api/v1/library/collections/app/civilcraft/plants.csv; every published plant when no collection is set; the built-in list when the Library cannot be reached). Panel sections: opening one shuts the others unless locked (lock icon by the caret). Landscape tests 533/0, collections 17/0. C.4 (place any Library item) and C.5 (other apps) still planned.

Place real IFC light fixtures, schedule them, and show the calculated lux on the model rooms. adapters-09 2026-11-06: In BimCraft the add-on reads the model's rooms with their windows and the walls' height, places the luminaires as IfcLightFixture (BimCraft's own ceiling luminaire with plan symbol, tag and watts as Load, plus CadCraft_LightDesign with lumens, watts and the room's mean lux) in the room's level, and writes the lux as numbers into that level's plan view; drawing again replaces, Erase removes, undo restores. Tested on the showcase house in the real page (tools/bimcraft-test/browser-lightdesign-bim.mjs 22/0). Window height is assumed 1.2 m; the plan view was checked through the model data, not by eye in Studio.

Reachable: the Analysis panel of BimCraft and DetailCraft, block 'Finite elements: natural frequencies': modes, period, effective modal mass, mode drawn on the model, member end releases and rigid floors carried, settings saved with the model, the report carries the table, help written. Deflections, reactions and plate moments of slabs and walls are shown by the frame solver in the same panel (lib/frame plates; lib/fem agrees with it to 1 % in tests). Solid FEM: lib/fem's tet10 solid is the PartCraft add-on 'Solid FEM' with its own panel (SU.908c); PartCraft keeps its own solver (owner 2026-11-06). DKQ is a panel choice; the static solve in the panel stays lib/frame's (one engine, no second copy). Not built: nonlinear, contact, damping, response spectrum, soil models. No claim of equality with any other program. Hand check: SU.908-HAND (big meshes and a real building on a workstation or by the community; not a blocker). fem-complete 2026-11-06: docs/0.9-sessions/fem-09.md

FeatureTKW.1 Link to TKW.1Comment on TKW.1 Weight and temperature units (kg, lb, t, ton; °C, °F, K, °R)

Asked in support message #1329 (metric in the quick properties, kilograms, Celsius). Owner 2026-11-08: build weight and temperatures, both F and C, into 0.9. Shared table lib/units gets two kinds: mass (mg, g, kg, tonne, oz, lb, ton, long ton; exact factors from the 1959 pound) and temperature (K, °C, °F, °R; offset scales, converted without a detour through kelvin for C and F, negative values read correctly); Settings › Global › Units lists them (en, es-MX, id words). TakeoffCraft: lb, ton, kg and t as typed-quantity units (priced like CY), an optional Temperature on every item typed and shown in °C or °F (Settings › TakeoffCraft: Follow Global / °C / °F), kept in kelvin. bin/test-units.mjs 261/0, bin/test-takeoffcraft.mjs 1210/0. Seen in the real /lab page: browser-weights-temps.mjs 12/12 (unit lists, temperature typed in C and F, display setting, undo). Temperatures are absolute (a difference is not converted). Reports/exports do not carry the item temperature yet. Reply sent 2026-11-08 (support #1329, answered).

Resin printing add-ons (RSN) 9
FeatureRSN.1 Link to RSN.1Comment on RSN.1 Resin slicer core: layers at the printer screen, hollowing, island check, layer preview (add-on slicer-resin)

Built in the lab: add-on slicer-resin over lib/printresin, in the 3D Print card under "Printing with: Resin". Layer pictures at the printer's screen resolution with smooth edges, hollowing with vent holes, floating pieces ringed on the layer preview, time, resin and cost. Free, nothing locked. Printer sizes are the makers' published numbers and the exposure numbers are starting points. Tests: slice 35/0, browser 24/0. Never run on a printer.

FeatureRSN.2 Link to RSN.2Comment on RSN.2 Resin file: Elegoo GOO (add-on printer-resin-goo)

Built in the lab, from Elegoo's published Goo Format Spec V1.2 with no third-party source read. What the spec leaves open is now switchable on the card: byte order (big or little endian; big by default from an unverified secondary report) and checksum (negated sum or plain sum). The spec's own example offset cannot be reached by its field table (the table gives 195,477 bytes, the example 195,255), so the example is read as illustrative. Other gaps are marked SPEC-GAP in rs-goo.js. Read back by our own reader only (86/0). A real Elegoo printer is the check.

FeatureRSN.5 Link to RSN.5Comment on RSN.5 Resin supports and raft: pillars from islands, overhangs and the first layer

Built in the lab inside slicer-resin: the part is lifted on a raft; unsupported areas are sampled on a grid and each gets a pillar to the raft or the part below, fine tip and wider shaft; density light, medium, heavy. New and unproven: pillars do not brace each other, no suction-cup detection. Tests in test-slice.mjs.

FeatureRSN.6 Link to RSN.6Comment on RSN.6 Resin files from Chitubox: CBDDLP and CTB (add-on printer-resin-chitu)

Built in the lab (owner 2026-11-08), clean room: both written from ONE prose document (cbiffle/catibo a Discord member/cbddlp-ctb.adoc, BSD-2-Clause repository; whether that file carries its own licence is for legal to confirm), no GPL code read. CBDDLP in full; CTB for the layout that document describes (version 2, 7-bit pixels), with the document's cipher as an option. Options on the card: edge smoothing levels, projection flag, resolution field type, encryption. The document says it was tested on the Creality LD-002R and files for the older Elegoo Mars; no other printer is named. Later CTB versions are NOT written (see RSN.10). Tests cbddlp 28/0, ctb 25/0, browser 31/0. Never loaded on a printer.

FeatureRSN.8 Link to RSN.8Comment on RSN.8 Resin slicing on a worker thread

Built in the lab (2026-11-08). The resin slicer runs on a module worker (lib/printresin/rs-worker.js, started by rs-run.js) so the page stays alive while a big plate is sliced; the worker borrows the print stage's manifold file and ps-slice.js through the URLs the host already gives the filament slicer. The layers come back as run-length data, moved not copied. Cancel ends the worker. A page that cannot start a worker slices on the page as before. Same layers byte for byte as slicing directly (test-worker 14/0; the real-browser run confirms rs-worker.js starts). With FX.140 the drawing is also about 6 times faster. Not tried on a real printer.

Built in the lab (owner 2026-11-08: "build to version 3+"), our own Apache-2.0 code from a written specification (docs/resin-formats/ctb-v3-v5-SPEC.md), by a builder who saw nothing else. Two layouts under one name: plain tables (version 3, 4, 5) and encrypted settings (version 4, 5; AES and SHA-256 through the platform's WebCrypto). Options on the card: layout, version, edge smoothing, projection, layer scrambling. The vendor's disclaimer text is not reproduced (our own 320 bytes: a printer might check it). Which printer needs which layout is not established. The v2 writer's cipher constant is now an option too. Tests ctb3 170/0, incl. the spec's test vectors. Never loaded on a printer.

Built in the lab (owner 2026-11-08), our own Apache-2.0 code from a written specification (docs/resin-formats/anycubic-pwmx-SPEC.md), by a builder who saw nothing else. .pwmx (file version 1, optionally 516) and .pws. Options: mirror the picture, file version, edge smoothing, per-layer flag. Not written: versions 517 and 518 (the newer M5 and M7 families). The spec writer measured two public sample files (a .pws and a .pwmx) and found the real files differ from the reference code in three places; the spec records them. Tests pwmx 91/0, browser 38/0. Never loaded on a printer.

Owner-reported, 2026-11-09 10
FeatureDC.120 Link to DC.120Comment on DC.120 BimCraft: Library "Place in plan | Place in model" split button; the default follows the current view

Owner, 2026-11-09, from a Split-view screenshot: the Library detail shows one 'Place in the model' button. Corrected twice the same day. Final rule: Plan view shows a plain 'Place in plan' button; Model (3D) view shows a plain 'Place in model' button; ONLY Split view shows the split button [Place in plan | Place in model] with Place in plan as the default; it switches as the view changes. Critical: both ways follow the existing Library place-object process (storey, ghost, R, wall snap, mount, item number question, one IFC result). The label is never clipped. Built in apps/bimcraft/a Discord member (library-view.js); the 0.9 folder gets it by a patch.

FeatureDC.121 Link to DC.121Comment on DC.121 BimCraft: drag a Library item onto the plan to place it

Owner, 2026-11-09: 'the drag and drop onto plan feature request STILL isn't implemented - this needs to be in 0.9'. The original request was not found in the roadmap, suggestions, docs or memory, so it is built as the owner described it: a Library card dragged onto the plan (Plan view, or the plan half of Split) places the item there through the same place-object process, the drop point being the start position. Dropped files still open as files. Keyboard route: the split Place button.

FeatureRH.1 Link to RH.1Comment on RH.1 Rhino layout, Rhino keys and four views (Top, Perspective, Front, Right)

A built-in layout called Rhino (Settings › Global › Layout) and, as a separate setting, a Rhino key set (Settings › <App> › Menus, keys and mouse), for people who model with curves, surfaces and solids from a command line. Asked on Discord by a first-time visitor: the top, right, front and perspective views as an option, plus Rhino shortcuts. Layout (all eight apps): menus File Edit View Curve Surface Solid Mesh Dimension Transform Tools Analyze Render Panels Help (menubar set=rhino, each command under one menu; the verb decides for mixed groups), tool rows, two columns of tools left, panel right, command line in the status strip. New block `viewports` (layout four), filled only by apps that offer it: ModelCraft shows Top, Perspective, Front and Right at once (viewports-mc.js). One view is active and is the real view (picking, tools, keys unchanged); a click activates another; Zoom extents refits all; Ctrl+M maximizes and restores; leaving the layout gives the single view back. Keys (ModelCraft style `rhino`): typed Rhino command names (Line, Box, Extrude, Move, BooleanUnion, Top, Undo, 4View…) run the closest ModelCraft command; Ctrl+G, Ctrl+Shift+G, Ctrl+H, Ctrl+Alt+H, F9, Ctrl+Shift+E, Ctrl+M; right button turns the view, Shift+right pans. The layout's command line tries these words first (ccInput.typed). Not built: Rhino keys and four views in the other seven apps; Enter to repeat; osnap bar; per-view cameras are not saved in the file; other views draw no axes, guides or selection. Ctrl+H, Ctrl+Alt+H and F9 are from memory of Rhino's defaults: a daily user should check. Test: node bin/test-rhino-layout.mjs.
