  • 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.

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.

FeatureD8.4 Link to D8.4 ModelCraft: axis lock and arrow-key orbit/pan as commands you can bind to any key

Today the arrow keys are fixed in modelcraft.js: with a tool running they lock X (Right), Y (Left), Z (Up) and the parallel/free direction (Down); otherwise they orbit (Shift pans). Make Lock X / Lock Y / Lock Z / Lock parallel and Orbit/Pan left/right/up/down commands in input-modelcraft.js with the arrows as default keys, so Settings › ModelCraft › Customize can move them to any key (e.g. the left hand side of the keyboard). The shell lets the arrows pass today (app-input-ui.js PASS); a style that rebinds them must win while the old default keeps working for everyone else. Asked on Discord (2026-10-25) by a member moving from a push-pull modeler; owner: add to 0.8.

FeatureD8.5 Link to D8.5 ModelCraft: orbit around the point under the pointer, with orbit and pan speed settings

Orbit always turns about the view target (camera.js), while zoom already aims at the point under the pointer. Push-pull modelers orbit about what is under the pointer, which is why ours feels "slidey". Pick the pivot under the pointer at the start of an orbit (fall back to the target over empty space), show it, and add orbit speed and pan speed next to Zoom speed in Settings › Mouse.

FeatureD8.6 Link to D8.6 ModelCraft: Preferences and Model Info dialogs

One Preferences dialog for the app's own settings (units defaults, keys and mouse, drawing, files, view), and a Model Info dialog for what is saved in the file (units and precision, dimensions and text styles, location and north, credits, statistics, components). Gather the settings that are spread around today; add the defaults architects change most. Asked on Discord (2026-10-25) by a member moving from a push-pull modeler; owner: add to 0.8.

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).
