  • Planned 0 on the plan for the release it is filed under
  • 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.

Suggestions (Track SX) 26
Sanity checkSU.1061 Link to SU.1061 Older Macs and browsers: say what the oldest supported system is

Asked: a version for older operating systems such as macOS Sierra, so old computers that still work can draw (#1061, Oct 26). Do: find the real floor today for each way to run the apps (web edition: oldest Safari / Chrome / Firefox that runs the apps and WebGL; Studio on macOS, Windows 10, Linux), state it on /download and in the help, and list what a person on something older can still do (the web edition in a current browser, or older releases). No promise of a build for systems the web view no longer supports.

FeatureSU.915 Link to SU.915 Tags: your own tag fields on elements that feed schedules

Asked: a tagging system for the relational requirements of an architectural project, connected to outputs for schedules (#915, Oct 22). Today BimCraft reads and writes IFC property sets and builds schedules from them. Missing: a way to define your own tag (name, type, allowed values), put it on elements in bulk, and use it in schedule columns, filters and groups. Owner chooses between property sets as the model and a lighter tag layer.

FeatureSU.811 Link to SU.811 TakeoffCraft: an assistant that learns your takeoffs, on your computer only

Asked: AI that learns your work and gets more useful with each takeoff (#811, Oct 19). No trained model and no network (the owner's condition for 0.7 trace). Do: learn from what you accept: symbol templates from confirmed counts (autocount's matcher), "same as last job" condition sets, assemblies ranked by use, repeat a marked pattern on every page; all kept in the project, with a list of what it learned that you can clear.

FeatureSU.880 Link to SU.880 TakeoffCraft: click PDF linework to measure the whole path

Asked: select the vector linework in a PDF to make takeoffs quicker (#880, Oct 20). Snapping to PDF linework exists (snap.js). Do: a click on a line takes the whole connected path (segments chained at shared ends) as a length; a click inside a closed path takes it as an area; Shift adds, Tab cycles candidates.
