Unselected block text (the BS33-11 Mark/SectionMark labels) was erased by
its own block's wipeout pass and only came back through the selection
xray. Two compounding causes:
- Glyph quads rendered at the bare insert level, an exact depth tie with
every sibling fill, so the later wipeout pass won LessEqual. Wire
batches now carry the composed child rank as depth_override (the same
units the scene graph composes: depths[insert] + label * half), which
the block-text upload resolves per instance. Glyph vertices stay
neutral on purpose — baking the raw per-block label into them
double-counts and, for a negative rank, sinks the text BELOW its own
masks.
- The wipeout pipeline's depth bias (-8 quanta) was larger than the
whole within-block band: once child ranks compress into the insert's
half-band, sibling steps are ~3 quanta and a wipeout-to-text gap is
only 9-16 quanta of the 24-bit buffer. The mask only needs to break
exact ties, so the bias is now WIPEOUT_DEPTH_BIAS_QUANTA = 2.
block_text_draw_depth regression pins the contract: neutral vertices,
override carrying the rank, and a margin over the wipe that exceeds the
bias on a 600-entity scene.
- Emit transformed analytical curves (circles, arcs, ellipses) in block
expansion as standalone wires rather than merging them into batched line
strips.
- Keep render_instance unset on analytical curves in block prototypes so
they route directly to CircleGpu / EllipseGpu instead of BlockWireGpu.
- Support TangentGeom::Circle in extract_circle_instance and wire partitioning.
- Drop analytical tangents on wires clipped by xclip so clipped geometry
falls back correctly to line segments.
- Add unit test verifying block circles and arcs extract as analytical GPU
instances.
Switching to a Layout re-tessellated the whole model — `memo_miss=186455`,
2034 ms — to arrive at geometry identical to what was already in the memo.
The only thing that differed was colour.
`local_wires_for` already knows this: it stores the raw colour and drops
its background argument with `let _ = bg_color;`, noting that
`Batches::finalize` applies `adapt_to_bg` last, "so the cache no longer
has to rebuild on BACKGROUND / layout-switch". The tessellation memo's
guard had not been told, and still mixed the background in, so every
entry was discarded on a switch.
`finalize` now records what its colour resolution consumed — the raw
colour, the raw glyph colours, and the three flags it branches on — as
`WireModel::bg_adapt`, and `resolve_colors_for_bg` replays it for another
background. The guard drops the background, so a memo entry serves any
layout.
The resolution recomputes from the recorded raw colour rather than from
the resolved one, which makes it idempotent and therefore safe over a set
that mixes memo hits with freshly tessellated misses. Re-adapting the
resolved colour would not be safe: `adapt_to_bg` snaps a near-white colour
to pure black on a light background, and pure black comes back pure
*white* on a dark one, losing the tint. A test pins that asymmetry so the
raw colour is not optimised away later.
The contract is tested against the real `finalize` rather than a copy of
its logic: for every background pair, building under one and resolving for
the other lands exactly where building under the other would have.
`bg_adapt` is `None` for wires built anywhere else, and the resolution
skips them, so nothing outside the block cache changes colour. It is also
`None` when the resolution would be a no-op — a preserved colour with no
canvas fill looks the same under every background — which keeps the common
case at no cost.
Ordering is unchanged: the pass runs inside the builder, before
`append_scene_markers` and `apply_refedit_fade`, both of which have their
own separate background dependency.
`wires-build` gains `colors=` so the pass has a number of its own.

Share source buffers across block placements and render nested content with GPU instance transforms.\n\nChunk silhouettes and compact mesh material data so large drawings stay under device buffer limits and remain responsive.
Route model, paper, viewport and nested block content through one traversal while preserving leaf renderers. Carry decoded material state into mesh shading and harden solid geometry conversion.
Two rendering defects surfaced on the budweiser benchmark drawings, both
tied to a drawing's annotation scale.
Annotative scale representations. A drawing may materialise each annotation
scale as its own object (here a block insert per scale, on a "0 @ <scale>"
layer, each carrying a per-object AcDbContextData bound to one scale).
Nothing filtered them, so every scale drew at once — a 1× copy stacked
under a 10× one. Add annotative::annotative_offscale and apply it in the
three paths that expand block content: the wire block-defn cache, the
resident/top-level visibility gate (model space only — paper viewports use
their per-viewport frozen scale layers), and the exploded-insert hatch/fill
walk (filtered before normalize strips the handle). An object is shown when
a representation matches the current scale; the off-scale ones are hidden.
When the current scale is unsupported by any representation, fall back to
the base "1:1" copy instead of hiding everything (the object must not
vanish) or showing everything (the copies must not stack).
Model-space linetype scale. PSLTSCALE (a paper-space flag) was applied to
model-space linetypes via the annotation scale, so a drawing saved at e.g.
CANNOSCALE 10:1 drew its linetypes 10× off. Thread a `paper_space` flag
through tessellate_entity and gate the PSLTSCALE factor on it, so it only
scales linetypes for content shown inside a paper-space viewport; model
space keeps LTSCALE × CELTSCALE.

A dimension bakes its geometry into a per-instance *D block, offset into
the owning block by the dimension insertion_point. When that dimension
sits inside a block (INSERT → block → Dimension → *D), only its top-level
form drew; nested it rendered nothing, and once the lines/text/arrow
outlines were routed through the block cache the arrowhead FILLS were
still missing:
- 2D SOLID arrowheads: block_cache's Dimension arm now expands the *D
block, translating each sub by insertion_point (WCS → block-local) and
routing Insert subs through build_nested_ref, others through
tessellate_sub_local (which emits the solid fill_tris).
- Insert(hatch) arrowheads (custom arrow blocks = LwPolyline + Hatch):
the hatch renders via the separate GPU explosion path, which only
descends INSERT→INSERT→Hatch trees and so never reached a hatch behind
a Dimension. block_has_hatch now recurses through a Dimension into its
*D block, and the fill explosion's new explode_including_dims lifts
each dimension child's *D content into the owning block's frame
(translate insertion_point, then apply the insert transform) so its
arrow inserts / hatches ride the normal walk.
Table *T baked blocks get the mirror treatment in block_cache.

A constant ATTDEF renders as block content, but with an empty default
value there is nothing to draw — the ATTDEF tessellator would fall back
to its tag-placeholder preview (meant for standalone definitions), so
blocks showed the literal tag text where AutoCAD shows nothing.

Xref merge now inserts entities in the source block's chain order and
carries SortEntitiesTable objects across (remapped to merged handles).
draw_depth_map values become [depth, half] so exploded block/xref fills
and wide-polyline band wires both compose child depth as
insert_depth + in-block rank x half, recursing into nested inserts with
the same divisor - bands and fills from one block interleave by the
block's internal order instead of stacking at the insert's single depth.
Band batches split per rank via WireModel.depth_override; thin wires
stay merged. The wire arena falls back to a full rebuild when a slab
carries mixed depths so refreshes don't flatten band overrides.

A wide polyline with per-vertex varying widths rendered at its widest edge
(uniform-width ones were already exact). Draw the true taper instead.
`WireModel.taper_widths` carries a per-point full band width. The wire
instance (native slim + web fat) gains per-endpoint `world_hw_a/b`, and both
wire shaders interpolate `mix(hw_a, hw_b, which_end)` so each segment's band
narrows/widens linearly — depth-tested, and the linetype dash still applies.
Alignment (widths must match the tessellated points) is solved by building
both together: a new `TruckObject::TaperedLines(points, widths)`, filled by
`common::tapered_band_points` (straight = endpoints, arc = 16 samples with the
width lerped along it). to_truck routes a varying-width polyline here —
LwPolyline before the PLINEGEN split, Polyline2D at its return — while a
uniform-width one keeps the constant-band Contour path unchanged. `world_width`
stays the widest edge as the PDF-stroke + zoom-floor fallback.
Blocks fall back to the constant-widest band (`LocalWire` carries no
taper_widths).

Extends the wide-polyline shader band to the two cases the first pass left on
the hatch pipeline.
Polyline2D:
- A flat wide Polyline2D now draws its band from the centre-line wire
(`world_width`), same as LwPolyline (`polyline_band_width` handles both).
- A thickened wide Polyline2D extrudes a solid 3-D tube. `thick_wide_band`'s
body moves to a shared `common::thick_band_tube(origin, fills, thickness,
normal, to_wcs)`; LwPolyline delegates to it and Polyline2D calls it from
its thickness path. Tube edges read black for both kinds.
- The model-space wide-band hatch loop is deleted (both kinds now wire/tube).
Blocks:
- Block-internal wide polylines draw the shader band too. `LocalWire` carries
`world_width`; `emit_wire` scales it by the insert transform (average of the
X/Y axis image lengths) so the band tracks a scaled insert, and the scaled
width joins the batch `style_key`. `push_block_wide_fills` (the block hatch
band) is removed.

A wide polyline's flat band was drawn by the hatch pipeline: a solid fill
with only draw-order depth. It ignored the entity linetype (the width
"crushed" the dash pattern) and showed through 3-D geometry in a tilted view.
Draw the band from the polyline's own centre-line wire instead. A new
`WireModel.world_width` (drawing units) makes the wire vertex shader expand
the quad by `world_half_width / world_per_pixel` (clamped to a hairline), so
the band is sized in world units and tracks zoom. Because it is now a wire:
- the GPU dash shader dashes the band by arc-length — the linetype applies;
- it is depth-tested at the polyline elevation — no draw-order see-through;
- no CPU band triangles or per-dash geometry are generated.
`world_half_width` rides in `WireConst` (native, replacing a pad) and the web
`WireInstance` (loc 14); both wire shaders branch on it. The tessellator sets
`world_width` from the LwPolyline width on the Contour / SegmentedLines arms,
and the model-space fill loop no longer emits a hatch band for any LwPolyline.
Pick still uses the band polygon (`pick_tris`).
Blocks keep the hatch band: `LocalWire` carries no `world_width` (finalize
zeroes it), so a scaled insert still scales its band correctly.

Rectangular paper viewports now go through the same GPU stencil clip as
non-rectangular ones: viewport_clip_boundary_ndc returns the four rect
corners (a full-target mask) instead of nothing, so the render path has
no rect/non-rect special case — every content viewport carries a clip
boundary and draws with stencil reference 0xFF.
With a single clip path, the old per-wire / -image / -wipeout scissor
mechanism is fully dead and removed: compute_*_scissors, the
*_pixel_scissors buffers, the project_scissor helper, the per-pass
set_scissor_rect blocks, the vp_scissor field threaded through
WireModel / ImageModel / HatchModel and their GPU mirrors (WireGpu /
ImageGpu / WipeoutGpu / HatchWebGpu), from_run's scissor parameter, the
scissor grouping in build_wire_buffers, and the is_arena_eligible gate.
Net -245 lines across 54 files.
Rectangular viewports still clip exactly via their own render rectangle;
the stencil mask is a redundant full-target no-op there, kept only so
the clip code path stays uniform. XCLIP keeps its CPU wire clip.

A CONSTANT ATTDEF has no per-insert ATTRIB — its value belongs to the block
itself — so block expansion must draw it instead of skipping every ATTDEF.
Non-constant templates are still skipped (the insert supplies their ATTRIB).
Also bumps acadrust to decode the embedded MTEXT of R2018 multiline
attributes, so a value like "A\PB" renders both lines.

A SOLID's filled quad and a dimension/MultiLeader text background are flat 2-D
overlays that should draw in wireframe and shaded alike, but face3d_gpu
classified fills by `!fill_tris_low.is_empty()` — and a 2-D fill at UTM scale
carries a double-single low residual for precision just like a real 3-D mesh
face. So the arrowhead fill and the "5;8" cyan text background were routed to
the 3-D buffer and only appeared in shaded mode, vanishing back to nothing on
return to wireframe.
WireModel now carries an explicit `fill_is_3d`: true only for a real surface
(PolyfaceMesh / PolygonMesh face, set in the tessellator), false for every flat
overlay fill. face3d_gpu classifies on the flag, so 2-D fills stay in the
always-visible buffer while keeping their low residual (and UTM precision).
Verified on budweiser: the `_BoxFilled` arrow SOLID and the dim '5;8' MTEXT
background both tessellate with fill_is_3d = false.

A wide polyline draws a solid band, but hit-testing only ever saw the
centreline 8 px out, so a donut could only be selected by clicking the
phantom circle inside the disc it paints. `self.hatches` — the map the
hatch pick channel walks — is filled from HATCH and SOLID alone, so the
band `wide_fills` produces was drawn (via `synced_hatch_models`) and never
picked.
The band rides in on `pick_tris`, the same channel a thickness wall uses:
`wide_fills` already computes it, so it costs one tessellation and inherits
the block transform. It ear clips rather than fans — an arc band is an
annular sector, concave on its inner edge — reusing `triangulate_planar`.
Wiring `pick_tris` through `Lines` alone was not enough: a plain wide
polyline leaves `to_truck` as `Contour`, and a PLINEGEN=0 one as
`SegmentedLines`. Both now carry it.
This needs the wire's cullable box to cover the band, and it did not.
`bounding_box()` boxes a polyline's stored vertices, knowing nothing of the
width painted around them: a donut's two vertices sit on one horizontal
line, so the box had zero height and rejected every click on the disc
before any triangle was tested. Every site that stamps the entity box onto
a wire now goes through `set_wire_aabb`, which widens it over `pick_tris`
(a no-op for the entities that have none, which is nearly all), and the
block cache chains `pick_tris` into its own box for the same reason.
That box was already too small for the centreline itself — an arc leaves
the vertex box — so a donut was unselectable at its top and bottom at
enough zoom. Widening fixes that too.
Verified end-to-end: tessellate a width-0.5 donut on a 0.05 centreline
radius, then `click_hit` five points 20 px clear of the centreline — all
land, and a click outside the disc still misses.

Selection tested a flat 8 px radius around each wire's centreline and
nothing else, so two things the user can see were not pickable.
A wire renders as a band `line_weight_px` wide, so pick now widens to that
rendered half-width via `pick_tolerance_px`, mirroring the wire shader's
`select(0.5, half_width, lwdisplay_enable)`. Behaviour is unchanged for
every standard weight (the widest, 2.11 mm, renders 7.97 px half-width —
just under the 8 px threshold); this keeps the two sides from drifting
apart if the display boost in `lineweight_to_px` ever changes.
Entities extruded by a DXF thickness draw their wall as four edges with
nothing in between, so the interior was a hole the cursor fell through.
WireModel gains `pick_tris`: triangles hit-testing treats as solid and the
renderer never uploads. Kept apart from `fill_tris` because that channel
reaches the GPU, and a wall that rendered shaded would change how every
thickness drawing looks. Ranked below `fill_tris` — those are drawn, these
are not, so where they overlap the drawn face is what the user means.
Walls are dropped when a wire is projected into a floating viewport:
`points` are reprojected and clipped into paper coords there, so cloned
model-space triangles would hit-test at a model-scale offset. Extruded
entities stay selectable by their edges, which do get projected.
The wall loop runs on every hover that misses everything else, so it
rejects on the wire's AABB first — an extruded circle is ~128 triangles
and a drawing full of thickness would otherwise project every wall on
each mouse move.

MLINE dashed elements were fully CPU-expanded (apply_along) — one wire per
dash — to keep the parallel lines in phase. Move pure-dash elements onto the
GPU dash shader and end-align every element to the multiline's centre-line so
they share one interior phase.
- wire_distances now accumulates arc-length from the double-single (high+low)
points, so the dash phase stays precise at UTM coordinates. f32-high-only
deltas quantised ~0.1 there and drifted the parallel lines apart — the
original reason MLINE dashes were CPU-side.
- New WireModel.dash_align_end carries a shared begin/end dash length. The
shader uses it as align_end for every parallel element (the interior phase
depends on align_end, not the wire's own length) while align_total stays the
element's own length, so each still ends on a dash at its own endpoint.
- MLINE tessellation derives that length once from the centre-line, routes
pure dash/space/dot elements to the GPU pattern and text-bearing elements to
apply_along.
- apply_along gained an "A"-type mode (shared reference length): a solid
begin/end dash and a phased interior, so its dashes — and embedded text —
line up with the GPU-dashed sibling elements instead of tiling from start.
Pure-dash MLINEs now cost one WireModel + pattern per element instead of N
segments; single (non-MLINE) entities keep the from-start tiling unchanged.

DET pipe walls now carry the stroke pattern (dash_from_start), which
tiles from each wall's own start vertex and skips the A-type end
alignment that was force-lighting a solid dash under the end symbol.
Two rendering fixes on top:
- Dedup the host polyline's vertices before offsetting the walls. Some
DGN pipe polylines carry trailing duplicate end vertices; a zero-length
segment gave offset_xy a degenerate normal, leaving that vertex
un-offset and folding the wall down to the centre line. The two walls'
fold segments met at the centre and drew a spurious line linking them.
- Re-key the symbol (end circle / half-ellipse) wires to the host handle
so the whole pipe picks and selects as one entity instead of the
symbols acting as separate phantom entities.

Render: annotative-ness is resolved centrally in scene::annotative::is_annotative
(per-object context dictionary, legacy XDATA, or annotative style) so the bake and
the properties panel agree. Text, dimensions, tables and blocks now display at the
current annotation scale in model space. An annotative block scales as one uniform
unit about its insertion point — its internal geometry and attributes are carried by
that scale instead of being scaled individually, fixing the block-attribute size
regression. Tables scale their column/row/margin geometry.
Properties: the handle- and flag-backed rows are now editable pickers — MLEADER
multileader style / text style / arrowhead / leader linetype, General Material, and
Plot style (named plot-style mode only; the color-dependent mode stays read-only,
which is correct). A picked name is resolved back to its handle in the update loop,
where the document is in scope. Annotative Yes/No and the annotation-scale row are
shown per object.
