FeatureD8.13 Link to D8.13Comment on D8.13 Add-on: factory floor — from CAM to the machines, cell control and SCADA monitoring

Discord (a Discord member, Oct 29): "CAMCraft", CAM + factory control + SCADA in the suite. Owner 2026-10-30: an add-on, not an app (eight apps). Pieces already in 0.8: CAM with editable posts in PartCraft (LC.15), send G-code to a machine on the network (EG.40, partly), the flow add-on for layout and simulation (SU.858), soft PLC with ladder / structured text (XE.13, partly), live data over OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, BACnet (XE.9, IND.12, partly), plant historian (CH.27). The add-on ties them into one place: a machine and cell list (from the flow layout), a job queue that posts and sends programs to each machine, machine state read live (OPC UA, MQTT, MTConnect), an operator screen drawn over the layout with values, alarms and trends, history and simple OEE. Reading first; writing to a running machine or PLC stays off by default, behind a per-device switch and a confirm. Not a safety system and never in a safety chain — help says so.

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. Command links 2026-11-05: a tool that works with a panel section opens it (app-settings.js LINKS table, one line per rule): CadCraft constraint and parameter commands to Parameters; TakeoffCraft measuring tools to Items and note/cloud/highlight to Markups; ModelCraft Paint to Colors. The other apps have no tool with a section of its own yet; add a rule when one does.

FixFX.137 Link to FX.137Comment on FX.137 Arc: all ten methods (3-Point, Start/Center/End/Angle/Length, Start/End/Angle/Direction/Radius, Center/Start/End/Angle/Length) and Continue

The Arc tool only offered a start point or a centre. Now every method is there, in CadCraft, ModelCraft, PartCraft sketches, MarkupCraft and TakeoffCraft, from one shared library (lib/arcs, copies via tools/arcs/sync.mjs). Arcs run counter-clockwise; a negative angle or chord length takes the clockwise arc, a negative radius the major arc. Angle, length, radius and direction can be clicked or typed. CadCraft also has Continue (Enter at the start point) tangent to the last line, arc or polyline, and a split button listing the methods. MarkupCraft and TakeoffCraft keep their saved arc formats; PartCraft arcs stay centre/start/end so constraints work. Tests: tools/arcs/test.mjs, test-cadcraft, test-markupcraft, test-takeoffcraft, tools/partcraft-test/test-sketch-arcs.mjs, tools/modelcraft-test/tools07.mjs. Not yet checked by hand in a browser: MarkupCraft and TakeoffCraft pointer flow, PartCraft split face label, ModelCraft on a tilted face.

FixFX.140 Link to FX.140Comment on FX.140 Resin slicing: faster on big screens and dense miniature meshes, and less memory

A tester reported the resin slicer crashed while slicing; they later said the model was a dense mesh from a miniatures set, a few MB, not regular geometry. The cause is not confirmed and no crash was reproduced, but tests found three real problems. (1) Drawing: the page spent most of its time turning each layer into a 12K picture (59 million pixels a layer); a 100 mm part at 0.05 mm took over 280 s. Now only the rows a layer lights are touched, one buffer is reused, and dark rows are written as single runs: a 60 mm part 151 s to 27 s, the 100 mm one over 280 s to 100 s. (2) Dense meshes: the island check ran an exact overlap test for every small piece of every layer (40 of 52 s on a 40,000-triangle noisy ball with supports); the overlap of the whole layers is now found once and cut into pieces, same island counts as before (251 = 251 on a test mesh), 52 s to 22 s. The cavity of a hollow part is worked out on an outline simplified by half a pixel (about 25 percent faster, wall within half a pixel). (3) Memory: a 40-piece, 139,000-triangle mesh at 0.03 mm, hollow with supports, peaked at 1.98 GB (enough to kill a browser tab), because every layer's pieces were kept to the end; temporary shapes are now given back at once: 1.20 GB, and it finishes in about 4.5 minutes where it ran past 7. Layers are identical to before the change except the half-pixel cavity. With RSN.8 the slicing also runs on a worker thread, so the page cannot freeze. Not tried on a real printer or on the tester's own file.

FixFX.155 Link to FX.155Comment on FX.155 CadCraft: no Arc drop-down in the default toolbar, and the ribbon Arc menu showed 6 of its 12 tools

CadCraft default toolbar (ui.inc): Arc and Circle had no drop-down; the eleven arc methods and the two circle methods sat only under Draw > More. Each now has a caret beside the button listing its ways to draw (moved out of More). FX.137 added the eleven ways to draw an arc, but the shared menu code (assets/js/app-input.js) kept only the first 6 tools of any split button, and dropped the rest without a word. CadCraft's Arc and PartCraft's sketch Arc (12 tools each) lost half their list; no other built-in split in any app is longer than 6. The limit is now 16, and a split cut to fit is reported like any other bad menu entry instead of vanishing. New test tools/shell-test/input-splits-test.mjs runs every built-in menu style of every app through the sanitiser and fails if anything is dropped (it fails on the old limit of 6, passes on 16). Installed 0.9.0 desktop builds carry their own copy of the menu code, so they need the 0.9.1 build (docs/0.9.1.md, 91.1); the web edition has the fix now.

FixFX.156 Link to FX.156Comment on FX.156 Tooltips: one Bootstrap engine everywhere; the other tooltip methods are gone

Tips were drawn five ways: app-tooltips.js (Bootstrap, from title), a hand-made .ws-tooltip div in the workspace, a second Bootstrap instance for cut-off text in Settings, one each for the area badge, the download copy button and CivilCraft's narrow number boxes, and a CSS ::after bubble on the status bars. Now app-tooltips.js is the only one: it reads data-ws-reason, title or an old data-bs-title, and offers ccTooltips.showText(el, text) for text a page computes (cut-off text, Copied, a clipped number). The site footer and admin footer load it too, so public pages match the apps. Popped-out ribbon, panel and dialog windows get Bootstrap and the engine through ccTooltips.attach(win), so they show the same tips. Same look everywhere (.tooltip.cc-tip).

Library 8
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.
