FixTK.1 Link to TK.1Comment on TK.1 TakeoffCraft: show lengths in meters, centimeters or millimeters

TakeoffCraft's own settings tab gets "Show lengths as": Follow Global (the metric length unit starred in Settings > Global > Units, else feet-inches), Feet-inches, m, cm or mm. It changes how lengths read on the sheet, in the status bar and in the panels, and the heights too: item height/depth, thickness, head, base and the Levels dialog; a bare number typed in a height field is read in the shown unit. The 1/16, 1/8 and 1/4 inch picker shows only for feet-inches. Display only: quantities, costs and exports still use the exact lengths. Asked for on Discord (a user could not find a meters option). Built in the a Discord member build, checked by syntax and number formatting; not yet tried in a browser.

FeatureD8.12 Link to D8.12Comment on D8.12 BimCraft: a working style in Settings — how duplicated views, printing and element classes behave

Discord (a Discord member, Oct 28; owner 2026-10-30: "feels like a LAYOUT in settings"): people coming from the two big BIM programs expect different behaviour, and neither is wrong. Settings › BimCraft › Working style picks a preset that sets the defaults of D8.12-A…D, each still changeable on its own, like the workspace layouts (Track WS): - Each view its own (default): a duplicated view copies its annotations and they stay that view's; sheets print as the screen shows. - Shared annotations and pen tables: duplicates share annotations; printing goes through a pen table. Names describe the way of working, never a product (trademark rule). Checked in /lab 2026-10-30 — already there: families and the family editor (BIM-FAM-MORE, partly built), docked ribbon and toolbox + info box layouts (Track WS), drafting shown only in its own view (DC.117 d), view templates (DF.19), per-view pen overrides (SU.1055, partly). Missing: D8.12-A duplicate a view, D8.12-B print as shown, D8.12-C use an element as another class, D8.12-D project templates. Also from the thread: a Discord member pointed at the vendor's public ideas forum (most-voted) as a list of what users miss; a Discord member offered to work through our project files as an experienced user — the owner/a Discord member to send files. **Implementation started 2026-11-02** (0.9 top-5 pick #2, hardest first; session `bim-views-09`, log docs/0.9-sessions/bim-views-09.md). Status moves to Partly built or Built only when the code is reachable and tested (rule 49).

FeatureD8.12-A Link to D8.12-AComment on D8.12-A BimCraft: duplicate a view, as its own copy or linked

Today a plan is one view per level plus callouts; there is no Duplicate. Add Duplicate on plans, ceiling plans, sections, elevations and callouts with a choice: Own copy (drafting, dimensions, crop, hidden elements and pen overrides copied; editing or deleting them changes only that view — the default) or Linked (one set shared by both views). The working style (D8.12) sets which one is offered first. Older views on issued sheets must never change because a later copy was edited (the requester's point: revisions are not a straight line). Stored in the IFC as now (CadCraft_PlanView / CadCraft_Drafting View key). Part of D8.12. **Implementation started 2026-11-02** (0.9 top-5 pick #2, hardest first; session `bim-views-09`, log docs/0.9-sessions/bim-views-09.md). Status moves to Partly built or Built only when the code is reachable and tested (rule 49).

FeatureD8.12-B Link to D8.12-BComment on D8.12-B BimCraft: print as shown — pen overrides saved in the file and on sheets and PDF

Pen overrides (SU.1055, pens.js) live in the browser only (localStorage bimcraft.pens), cover walls, doors and windows, and are not on the printed plan yet. Do: keep them in the IFC with the view, cover every category (and drafting), and draw sheets and the PDF exactly as the screen shows (default). The other working style prints through a pen table (colour → weight and ink), reusing CadCraft's plot-style work (DC.14) rather than a second format. Closes SU.1055's pen-override rest. Part of D8.12. **Implementation started 2026-11-02** (0.9 top-5 pick #2, hardest first; session `bim-views-09`, log docs/0.9-sessions/bim-views-09.md). Status moves to Partly built or Built only when the code is reachable and tested (rule 49).

FeatureD8.12-C Link to D8.12-CComment on D8.12-C BimCraft: use an element as something else — a wall as a panel, a slab as a road or shelf, a roof as a ramp

Keep the drawing tool's geometry and editing but report the element as another IFC class (and predefined type), so schedules, takeoff, Problems and the IFC export count a slab drawn as a road as a road, not a floor. A "Report as" field in Properties (search of IFC classes that fit the shape), one undo step, round-trips through IFC2X3 and IFC4; schedules group by the reported class. The requester's point: the other program files these as generic models and its schedules stay wrong. Part of D8.12. **Implementation started 2026-11-02** (0.9 top-5 pick #2, hardest first; session `bim-views-09`, log docs/0.9-sessions/bim-views-09.md). Status moves to Partly built or Built only when the code is reachable and tested (rule 49).

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.

FixFX.55 Link to FX.55Comment on FX.55 BimCraft: typing LEVEL does nothing and the ribbon has no Levels button; optional side-panel accordion with a lock (setting, default off)

a Discord member, 2026-11-05 (working in /lab with the drafting ribbon): the help describes the Levels panel, but typing LEVEL on the command line said Unknown command and no ribbon button led to it. Built (/lab, a Discord member): the command line takes LEVEL, LEVELS, STOREY, STOREYS (opens Add levels…); a Levels button sits in the Home > Levels group (Drafting ribbon), the Architecture > Model group (Ribbon) and the Home menu (model.levels in input-bimcraft.js). The left/right panel's collapsible sections (Find, Quantity totals, Checks, Clash …) close each other so the one you opened has the focus when Settings > BimCraft > Side panels is on (default OFF, owner's call 2026-11-05); a lock beside each caret keeps one open, remembered on this device (panel-focus.js). Test: tools/bimcraft-test/browser-levels09.mjs, 15/0. Not in the Docked/Duncan layouts' own tool sets (the docked ribbon already had Level). New strings are English only until the next language sync.

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.157 Link to FX.157Comment on FX.157 CadCraft: objects moved against each other while zooming in a drawing at distant coordinates (a stray object near 0,0 made hatches slide off their outlines)

A member sent a screen recording: a hatch and its outline drifted apart as they zoomed, in a drawing near E 830000 / N 4480000. They guessed a 32-bit float problem, and it is one. A canvas Path2D keeps its points as 32-bit floats and the matrix that draws them is 32-bit too. CadCraft stores paths relative to an origin, but the origin was the middle of the whole drawing's extents: with one object left near 0,0 it sat 2.3 million units from the geometry on screen, so zoomed in the digits were gone. Measured in the released 0.9 build (new tools/cadcraft-test/browser-far-coords.mjs, the real view.js in Chromium): a hatch edge 1 px off at 20 px per unit, 22 px at 200, 94 px at 1000, fill gone at 2000; without the stray object, or with one 20 km away, exact. Only the picture was wrong; coordinates, snaps, measurements and saved files are 64-bit. Fix (view.js): the cache is rebuilt around the view center once the origin is more than 160,000 px from it (FAR_PX), also for the model shown in a sheet viewport; ordinary drawings never rebuild. The test fails on 0.9 (99 px) and passes in the lab (0 px at every zoom); bin/test-cadcraft.mjs 2847 passed. /accuracy had the old origin down as keeping values small: now a 32-bit policy, Drawing far from the origin, on screen, with the measurements and an open item to test BimCraft dwg-view.js, TakeoffCraft cadset.js and CivilCraft view.js (same pattern). Installed 0.9.0 desktop builds carry their own view.js and need 0.9.1.

FeatureD9.1 Link to D9.1Comment on D9.1 BimCraft: change several columns at once (height, top, size)

Ask: "select multiple columns and edit their height in one go; the height options only show when one column is selected." Several columns picked together already shared Shape, Size, Top and Height, but a pick that also caught a wall or another element (columns stand in walls on grid lines; a box catches both) showed only "N elements picked" with no fields. Built: a pick of several kinds lists each kind with "Keep only these", one click keeps the columns and their shared fields show. Fields where the columns differ are empty ("Mixed"), never the first column's value; Height typed once makes every picked column that tall (a column following the level above gets the offset that makes it so); Top keeps each column's own level above. Files: bimcraft.js showMany, model-grids-ui.js props. Tests: browser-draw06 --only d9.

Saved in the IFC (CadCraft_Grid Dims), one undo step, follows the grid when lines move, are renamed or added; a turned grid measures across its lines.

Ask: "a measure tool to add temporary dimensions in the Plan view / 3D view". The 3D view already had Measure (M: distance, faces, areas). Built: Draw › Measure on the plan: click two points for a dimension with the distance and ΔX / ΔY; points snap to wall ends, grid lines and crossings, columns; Shift keeps a leg straight; more clicks chain on with a running total; Esc clears it. Nothing is written to the model. With only the plan shown, M opens it (with the 3D view on screen M stays the 3D Measure). Files: model-measure-ui.js (new), model-ui.js planOnly/useTool, bimcraft.js key M, ui.inc. Tests: browser-draw06 --only d9.
