CadCraft 0.6 impact map

Every fix and feature lined up for 0.6, and what each one touches: which apps, and which layers of the stack. The layers are the ones on the Fork Map. 0.6 has shipped: this map keeps what it built, and every item that was not finished moved to 0.7.

Sheet 1 · impact areas

Where 0.6 lands

How many items touch each app and each layer, by kind. One item can touch several areas, so the rows add up to more than the item count. Pick a row to filter the schedule below.

Sheet 2 · schedule

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.

FixBIM-F1 Link to BIM-F1 Roof outline takes in the wrong walls

The automatic roof takes freestanding and interior walls: the hip roof goes from 8 to 12 planes, with an extra facet at the L.

FixBIM-F2 Link to BIM-F2 Fixed windows offer "Hinges: Flip"

A picture window has no hinges, so the option should not show.

BimCraft App code Built – Owner: 0.5.1 or 0.6 From: release-05 session (showcase shot) (Session) release-05 log
FixBIM-F3 Link to BIM-F3 Render dialog: blank date and time boxes

In the model theme the Sun date and time boxes show white while "Use another date and time" is off. The dialog is shared, so ModelCraft gets the fix too.

FixBIM-F5 Link to BIM-F5 Paint in the plan-only layout

It says "click an element in the 3D view", but the palette stays hidden until 3D or Split.

FixBIM-F6 Link to BIM-F6 Reshaped walls lose their painted colour

A wall the Draw tools reshape keeps its render material but loses its painted IFC colour, because its body is rebuilt.

FixFIX-PART-INPUT Link to FIX-PART-INPUT PartCraft buttons missing from the input registry

A test fails because some PartCraft buttons (from the lc-make session) are not in the input registry. Add them to the registry, or take them out of the toolbar.

FixFIX-SHELL-KEY Link to FIX-SHELL-KEY Missing language key shell.layout

A test fails on the key shell.layout, added by the shell-ui session. Add it to the shell’s lang/en.json (with the es-MX and id drafts).

FixFIX-ASM-V5-TEST Link to FIX-ASM-V5-TEST PartCraft test treats assembly file version 5 as too new

bin/test-partcraft.mjs ends 2016 passed, 1 failed. lc-make raised the assembly file version to 5 while part-usability worked in the same folder, and an older test still reads version 5 as newer than supported. lc-make was asked in its inbox to update the test with its change. Check it is done; PartCraft 0.5 refusing version 5 files is expected.

FixFIX-TIMELINE-PHONE Link to FIX-TIMELINE-PHONE ModelCraft: the animation timeline does not open on phone-sized screens

Found by bin/test-phones.mjs at every phone size: Views › Timeline opens a phone sheet of height 0 (modelcraft/dev/ui.inc). Shipped in 0.6 as a known limit.

DecisionDEC-2-5 Link to DEC-2-5 Live session defaults

Live session limits are soft. How many people can join depends on their hardware, the drawing’s complexity and the network, none of which GetCadCraft controls, so there is no hard cap of our own (today the protocol stops at 20; the host can lower it). When a host allows a large list of people, Live shows a warning that explains the performance cost (every edit goes to everyone, and weaker laptops or slow links will lag) and lets them continue. The other defaults stand: holds start on select, viewers need approval, browser joiners allowed, the hold and assistant rules as built.

DecisionDEC-10 Link to DEC-10 Which add-ons we build

Approved by the owner on 2026-10-17: the first-party add-ons in docs/ADDONS-CANDIDATES.md (Electrical, Apparel, Render, Point clouds, then HVAC and Piping) are the ones we build. All of them are already built (Electrical and Apparel in 0.5, Render in 0.5, point clouds in 0.5 and 0.6, HVAC and Piping in 0.5, off by default). Everything else on that list is community work on the developer kit.

DecisionDR.4 Link to DR.4 Push-pull flush: outline or one face

Keep the outline (recommended) or merge back to one flat face. Moved out of Decision Time 2026-10-17: Keep the outline when an inner face lands flush (the recommended choice, and how it works now).
