FeatureZA.1 Link to ZA.1Comment on ZA.1 South African market: SANS 10143 drawing practice + SANS 10400 building regulations

Sell into South Africa: local practice draws to SANS 10143 (building drawing practice) and builds to SANS 10400 (National Building Regulations). Full note for the 2026-10-26 meeting: docs/0.8-ZA-STANDARDS.md. Today: no SA support. BimCraft residential is hard-coded to US codes (res-stair.js IRC stair limits, res-framing.js 2x lumber + US header table, US egress window, US electrical symbols). Suggested order: 1. Built on REG.1: regulations by jurisdiction as library packs; ZA.1 delivers the South African country packs. 2. SANS 10143 drawing pack: metric mm dims, levels in m, A-series sheets, SA title block (erf, SACAP reg. no.), hatches, symbols, D1/W1 marks. 3. SA residential defaults: 230/280 cavity masonry, SA brick and block, 38x114/38x152 timber, trusses, IBR/tile roofs; Part M stair and Part O window-area checks. 4. Part XA energy check (climate zones 1-6, fenestration, R-values) and an SA municipal submission set export. The differentiator. 5. CivilCraft: Hartebeesthoek94 Lo zones with the Y-westing / X-southing axis flip; SANS 10142 electrical symbols. Business: SANS texts are copyrighted (buy, encode, cite clauses, edition dates); POPIA; ZAR + 15% VAT, regional pricing?; offline/load-shedding is a selling point. Meeting questions: 0.8 market or later? Buy the SANS set? An SA reviewer? Regional pricing? Drawing pack or XA first? Afrikaans? All SANS figures are from memory; check against purchased copies before shipping. LAB SAMPLE (2026-10-25): a small South African pack (stairs, room height, window and openable area) can be seen in /lab/bimcraft under Settings > Building regulations. Its numbers are unchecked.

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).

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).

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).

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.

Owner request 2026-11-05. A Render button in the 3D bar draws the land as land: natural terrain colours (grass on the flat, earth and rock on the steep, lighter with height), sky and haze, filmic tone mapping, soft shadows from a default north-west sun (the Sun menu still wins when set). Does not change the model; remembered in the browser. The Sun menu gets Apply and Close buttons.

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).

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.

FixFX.92 Link to FX.92Comment on FX.92 CadCraft: text styles (STYLE) and a font for every text

STYLE (ST, TEXTSTYLE; -STYLE on the command line; Draw > Text > Text style): named styles with font, height (0 = ask each time), width factor and oblique angle, kept in the file's STYLE table (DXF/DWG already read and wrote it). New TEXT and MTEXT take the current style's font, width and slant and carry its name; changing a style changes the text that uses it in one undo step; Apply to selected text; New / Set current / Delete (a style in use and Standard are refused). Text objects now have their own font (e.font) drawn and measured in that face (canvas measurement; monospace fallback). Files: textstyles.js, textstyle-ui.js, font.js, geom.js, view.js, mtext-draw.js, plot.js, commands.js. Tests: bin/test-cadcraft.mjs section Text styles and fonts; tools/cadcraft-test/browser-textstyle.mjs.

It writes the MTEXT codes (mt) and the plain text (s), so find, snap, DXF and DWG keep working; text left unchanged keeps its own codes untouched; paste is text only.

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.

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.

Built in the lab. Two readers appended whole lists with push(...list), which puts every item on the call stack. (1) model3d.js:187 and :213 (split3d): the 3D faces a drawing's block references place, up to MAX_PLACED = 200,000, so Plans.dwg (288 objects, 50 blocks) failed in /use 0.8.2 with "Could not open Plans.dwg" after the worker had read it; wave 2 counted that open as accepted because the heap grew. (2) dxf.js:102, :162-165, :479: any DXF from about 70,000 entities (a 15 MB file) threw the same RangeError with no message. (3) The same spread in io.js:1291 (ModelCraft, and CadCraft's m3d copy) for a flattened component. All use a loop now. Measured: Plans.dwg opens in the lab build in 7.8 s (4.8 s blocking, one 4.6 s task placing the 200k faces into the 3D tab, heap 518 MB: that cost is PERF.9's); a 19 MB DXF (137,851 entities) that crashed reads in 1.4 s; 1,000,000 entities (122 MB) read in 10 s and 2.1 GB in Node, so the next wall is memory and the one-string reader (wave 3 scale rows). bin/test-cadcraft.mjs 2,847/0. Other spread-into-push sites that take whole lists remain in bimcraft res-skeleton.js:349, res-views.js:282, dwg/nongraphic-write.js:332 (every copy) and lib/cabinetcraft cornerdrill.js:113: small lists today, worth the same loop when touched.

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).

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.

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).

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.
