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.

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.

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.

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.

Units 1
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).

Layouts 1
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.
