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.

FeatureWALK Link to WALK Rendered walkthrough video

Frame-by-frame video from a saved walkthrough. ModelCraft has it. BimCraft’s shared parts are in, but the button belongs in BimCraft’s Views files: about 0.3 d once you give the go.

FeatureD8.15 Link to D8.15 MarkupCraft Copy area: copy part of a page (rectangle, circle, freeform), and copy it as a see-through overlay

A Copy area tool in MarkupCraft. Pick a shape (rectangle, circle/ellipse, freeform with the lasso), then a small bar offers: include markups on/off, resolution (screen, 150 or 300 dpi), Copy, and Copy as overlay. Copy puts a PNG of that part of the page on the system clipboard (outside a circle or freeform is see-through, not white), so it pastes into Word, email, other PDF and drawing apps; MarkupCraft also keeps its own clip with the source file, page, scale and area. Copy as overlay makes the paper see-through (near-white pixels clear), with an opacity (default 50%) and an optional one-colour tint so it stands out over another drawing. Pasted in MarkupCraft it becomes an image markup that follows the pointer until placed, then moves, turns, locks and keeps its opacity in the property panel. Save as PNG for apps that drop transparency on paste. Decided while building: the area is copied as a picture, not the PDF's vector lines (the Content tool's copy keeps vectors); a big area at a high resolution is lowered in dpi until the PNG is under 3 MB, the cap was not raised. The size travels between our apps through localStorage (same site), so CadCraft, BimCraft and DetailCraft paste it at the drawing's real size when the sheet had a scale. Built 2026-10-30, ready in /lab: MarkupCraft Edit › More › Copy an area of the page… (Copy, Copy as overlay, Save as PNG) and Line up a picture with two points; CadCraft PASTEAREA (picture at real size, DWG IMAGE with transparency); BimCraft Ctrl+V on a plan (D8.8 picture at true size); DetailCraft reference pictures on a level. Plan and test results: docs/0.8-PART4.md § D8.15. A user's ask, passed on by the owner 2026-10-30 ("add it now", then "build the whole thing").
