Point clouds: drawn from their scans, attached, cropped and stylized.
The fork's codec patch is resolved to the upstream pins: the point cloud
records landed in opencadcodec 5ef9376, carried through opencadkernel
68eeda1 and opencadgraph e204966.

It asserted a wall-clock race between two loops, which the parallel
suite's load lost now and then. The cache's behaviour stays pinned by
the entry-count tests.

Plane and cylinder picks ask again and section extraction gives nothing
on a scan without segments, as the reference does with unstructured
scans (scan segmentation is not decoded yet). The section dialog's time
estimate reads in minutes.

A lone unlocked point cloud selected in a 3D visual style shows a move
gizmo at its insertion point: X/Y/Z arrows and XY/YZ/ZX squares. Dragging
an arrow moves the cloud along that axis, a square moves it in that
plane; the hovered part is highlighted and each drag is one undo step.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Picking the cloud opens the Extract Section Lines from Point Cloud
dialog with the reference's settings and defaults: entire cross section
or perimeter only, maximum points to process (slider and field, with
the estimated time), output layer (Use Current or a layer), colour,
lines or 2D polylines with their width, minimum line length and connect
lines tolerance (each measurable by two points on screen), collinear
angle tolerance (0-10) and Preview result. Create extracts; with the
preview it asks [Accept/Settings/Undo] and Settings reopens the dialog.
The settings are kept for the session. Automation action pc_section.

The manager's switches write the cloud's hidden scans (by the scan
identifier its project and scan file carry) and hidden regions (the
unassigned points are region 0), as the reference stores them, instead
of extended data. A parent switch shows mixed while some of its rows
are on. A cloud that shows none of its points draws its extents box.
The codec reads and writes both lists.

Points carry their world normal: POINTCLOUDLIGHTING lights them in the
shaded visual styles (1 lit from both sides, 2 with back faces dark),
from the view (POINTCLOUDLIGHTSOURCE 0) or the default lights (1).
The 2D wireframe style draws no cloud points: a found cloud shows its
extents and "Point clouds are not displayed in 2D visual style.",
or nothing with POINTCLOUD2DVSDISPLAY 1. While the view moves only
POINTCLOUDRTDENSITY per cent of the points are drawn; the points are
stored in an order where every leading part samples the whole cloud.
The colour map dialog lists its schemes by name.

A dockable Point Cloud Manager lists each point cloud of the drawing (only
the selected ones while any is selected) with Regions (disabled, region
data is not read), Unassigned Points and Scans, the scans named by their
file stems. Each switch shows or hides points: the cloud, its unassigned
points, all scans or one scan. The hidden set is the cloud's
OCS_POINTCLOUD_VISIBILITY extended data (scan names plus *CLOUD_OFF /
*UNASSIGNED_OFF markers, app id registered), written as one undo step and
kept on save. The drawn points skip hidden scans by their index ranges,
and the hidden set is part of the placed-cloud key. Collapse all / expand
all, row highlight and a search box that filters rows (keeping parents of
matches). POINTCLOUDMANAGERCLOSE closes it; the pc_manager_toggle
automation action flips a switch.

POINTCLOUDCOLORMAP asks for a cloud (or None for the drawing's default
schemes) and opens the Point Cloud Color Map dialog: intensity and
elevation tabs with the scheme list, New / Delete / Rename, number of
colours (2-25, resampled along the scheme), blend between the ends,
reverse, gradient or bands, the colorized range, the out-of-range
choice and, for elevation, the cloud's extents or a fixed range with its
band height. OK / Apply write the drawing's colour map (created under
ACAD_POINTCLOUD_COLORMAP_DICT when missing) and the cloud's colouring in
one undo step; Make stylization current sets the tab's stylization.
Values outside a scheme's range take the end colours, the scan colours
or are hidden. Automation action pc_colormap edits the dialog.

POINTCLOUDATTACH opens the Attach Point Cloud dialog after the file is
chosen; its Attach button lives in the Attach Underlay list instead of a
separate Insert panel. A selected cloud brings the crop tools to the
right-edge toolbar. POINTCLOUDSTYLIZE sets the stylization with the
reference's prompts, the External References palette lists point clouds
(unload, reload, detach, path), and definitions keep the header extents.

- V8 models are placed relative to their global origin (model header).
- A V8 model's extent is the union of its elements' stored ranges; a V7
model's text box is one text height tall.
- Files without a colour table use the standard DGN default table; colour
255 is read from the table's background entry.
- Colours from a file's colour table follow the background: near-white
colours swap with it, and over non-black backgrounds some shades drop a
step.
- DGN contrast pulls towards a pivot taken from the model's own colours,
after the fade, which is blended into the background first.
- Shared cells are read through their full 3D placement, so tilted
instances and 3D definitions are drawn in plan.
- Deleted V8 elements are skipped; lines along the model's extent stay in
the raster.

- Insert > Reference: the PDF Attach button becomes an Attach Underlay menu
(PDF / DWF / DGN); its face runs the last one chosen.
- DWFATTACH, DGNATTACH and ATTACH on a .dwf/.dwfx/.dgn open the Attach
dialog for that kind: sheets or models with thumbnails (one chosen),
placement, path type, file details with the sheet / model size, and for
DGN the conversion units (sub units offer 1 / sub units per master as the
scale).
- DGN V8 true colours come from the ExtendedColors record packed in the
non-model attributes stream; the colour word's high part numbers them.
- A DGN model's extent includes each text's box (its length along the
baseline and 1.5 x its height), as the reference sizes a model.
- DWFx text uses the family named in its embedded (deobfuscated) font.
- DWF contrast pivots at 0.73 once colours are turned over for a dark
background.
- Hairline strokes are drawn solid one pixel wide, and underlay rasters are
made at or below their size on screen so those lines stay unbroken.

- PDFOSNAP, DWFOSNAP and DGNOSNAP are separate; UOSNAP sets them all and
reads 2 while they differ. Enable Snap switches the selected kind's.
- DWFCLIP / DGNCLIP clip their own kind with the kind's prompts and message;
CLIP routes DWF and DGN underlays there; Enter at a corner asks again.
- The right-edge underlay tools show for DWF and DGN too (import is PDF
only).
- Underlay layers: DGN levels (V8 level table, "Default" listed as "0"; V7
used levels named from the level name table), hidden through the layer
override data with the DGN placeholder string first; a plotted DWF has
none.
- V8 colour read from its colour word (by level, index, or a true colour
drawn as its nearest index); 3D V8 elements drawn in plan (lines, line
strings, ellipses and arcs by their orientation, text); a model's extent
includes its text.
- DWF 6 TrueType text (font, height, rotation from the font opcode) and DWFx
glyph runs are drawn; the default W2D colour map is the measured one.
- Contrast pulls lightness towards a per-kind pivot as measured (PDF 0.5,
DWF 0.243, DGN 0.65).
- Zoom extents includes raster images and underlays whose frames are hidden.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
DWFATTACH / -DWFATTACH and DGNATTACH / -DGNATTACH attach a DWF / DWFx sheet
or a DGN (V7 or V8) model with the reference's prompts; ATTACH routes the
file types to them. The sheet or model is read into vector paths, drawn as a
transparent underlay raster (contrast, fade, monochrome and background
adjustment apply) and offers its geometry to object snaps. Definitions are
kept in ACAD_DWFDEFINITIONS / ACAD_DGNDEFINITIONS, the External References
palette lists and reloads them, and image textures get line-keeping mip
levels so thin underlay lines stay visible when zoomed out.

- The Frames list shows the drawing's frame state (hide / display and plot /
display but not plot / frames vary), follows commands, undo and document
switches, and lists the mixed state as a disabled item.
- DWFFRAME and DGNFRAME are frame variables of their own, kept in the header,
and FRAME sets them with the others.
- Out-of-range frame values say "Requires an integer between 0 and 2." and
ask again; a set value reports "Regenerating model.".
- IMAGEFRAME is stored in the image variables as bits (2 is written as 3) and
a drawing without them uses the profile value, which setting IMAGEFRAME
updates and the settings file keeps.
- Raster images, PDF underlays and wipeouts are picked on their frame only;
underlay snap geometry is never picked.

Review of #1489: the chips and the chosen page tiles drew a check mark and
the import preview's previous / next buttons single guillemets as text.
The web build's bundled font has no check-mark glyph, so it showed as an
empty box; UI icons are SVG. The ticks use the CHECK icon in the chip's or
tile's accent colour and the page buttons the shared arrow icons.

The PDF Underlay and External Reference ribbon tabs are gone. While only
PDF underlays are selected their tools (Display in Monochrome, Create
Clipping Boundary, Remove Clipping, Show Underlay, Enable Snap, External
References, Edit Layers, Import As Objects) sit on the right-edge toolbar,
the switches drawn as on while on; while only xrefs are selected the xref
tools do. Contrast and fade stay in Properties. Toolbar tooltips are
translated.

Attach PDF Underlay, Underlay Layers, PDF Import Settings and Import PDF
are laid out with rounded cards and accent titles, segmented controls for
path type, import layers and rotation, toggle chips for the on-screen

PDF, always-visible file details, and a footer with help on the left and
the named action (Attach, Apply, Save, Import) on the right.

The node library leaves the overlay and becomes a dock panel (PanelId::
NodeGraph), docked on the right the first time the graph opens and movable
like any other panel; closing it closes the graph. It follows the block
palette's layout: title bar, then a search box with New / Open / Save
beside it, then the categories, of which only Objects starts open. Entries
are clicked (placed at the canvas top-left) or dragged onto the canvas.
The title bar (title, auto-collapse pin, close, drag to re-dock), the
toolbar icon button and the panel frame were copied across Properties,
Block Palette, External References and Browser; they are now
dock::title_bar, dock::tool_button and dock::frame, used by all of them.
Block Palette's two tool buttons gain tooltips, and External References'
Auto / Close tooltips are now translated.

The graph panel gets New, Open and Save. A .ocg file is JSON holding the
graph (nodes, parameters, links), the canvas (positions, open sections,
pan, zoom) and each object node's entity handles, plus the fingerprint
GUID of the drawing those entities live in. On open, handles are reused
only in that same drawing and only while the entity is still the node's
kind; otherwise evaluation creates new entities, so a graph opened in
another drawing never takes over unrelated objects. A drawing without a
fingerprint gets one when its graph is first saved.
Pins opencadcodec d6d534f (DXF now writes $FINGERPRINTGUID and
$VERSIONGUID), opencadkernel 5d9e921 and opencadgraph 5c9b004 (graph
JSON round trip).

The codec and kernel repositories and crates are renamed opencadcodec and
opencadkernel. Inside OCS they are depended on under short keys, so code
reads `codec::`, `kernel::` and the new `graph::` (opencadgraph, the node
graph engine). File-format and protocol spellings stay as they were: the
ACIS product id `acadrust`, the ACADRUST_* switches and the plugin
version keys `acadrust_version` / `acadrust_source`.
A button left of MCP on the command line opens a translucent node graph
over the viewport, with a palette of object, input, math, logic, list,
text and geometry nodes added by click or drag. An object node owns
drawing entities and its rows are the Properties panel's own rows for
them: the single-object page is extracted from refresh_properties as
entity_property_sections, values use the control protocol's
property_json, and writes go through set_property_value with a property
target override, so the panel, MCP and the graph share one read/write
path. A list reaching an object row makes one entity per element. Each
graph action is one undo step; the canvas pans and zooms.

- The palette launcher arrow is recoloured from the theme like the other
interface icons, instead of drawing the raw SVG.
- The Frames dropdown shares one icon constant; its entries were left
misindented.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
- Pin cadcodec upstream at d290dbe (the merged underlay change) and
cadkernel at 4134ae3, which follows it; drop the fork patch, move the
plugin-API and web-worker crates and the Python plugin lock to the same
codec so one copy is built.
- "Import as block" with raster images left IMAGE entities without an
image definition: block definition now creates it like add_entity does,
through one shared helper.
- The three preview outlines (attach frame, clip boundary, import area)
stay f64 instead of casting world points to f32.
- Page size / total / PDF scale entries use the catalog's positional
placeholder; the bare {name} form failed to format in 20 locales.
- The Underlay Layers bulb is the SVG layer icon, not a text glyph.
- PDF dialogs use the shared dialog buttons and radios.
- Options opened from a PDF dialog clears its saved state on return.
- Paper-space underlay background reuses the model block handle already
resolved; dead `let _ = i` lines and a misplaced doc comment removed.

The ribbon definition beside each command stays the one source of its
label and icon. One cached lookup (modules::registry::ribbon_commands)
walks the core ribbon and the expanded Draw/Modify panels; the shortcut
list, the right-click menu, the grip menu and the command-line
suggestions read it.
- Context menu: command rows carry their ribbon icon; Undo/Redo and
Isolate use interface glyphs, Draw Order its ribbon icon; icons and
the caret fade on disabled rows.
- Grip menu: Stretch, Move, Rotate, Scale, Mirror and Copy icons.
- Suggestions: an icon column, aligned when a command has none.
- Shortcut list: dropdown entries were read as (label, command) though
the ribbon stores (command, label), so they never got a label or icon.
Reworked from #1449.

The operations docs/automation/API-SPEC.md (PR #1383) describes, brought
over from huaninstratech/OpenCADStudio so the specification no longer runs
ahead of the code:
- entity CRUD: entities_create, entities_delete, entities_transform,
entities_copy_to, and `where` filters on query
- blocks and export: block_define, block_delete, a normalised wblock
- publishing: layout_create, page_setup_set, plot (per_page included)
- metadata: sysvar, xdata_set / xdata_get, file_identity
- collections: group_create, selection_set_save / load
- control plane: batch, events, view_focus, close
- the REST transport: `--http <port>`, the /api/v1 routes and their
OpenAPI 3 description
- person-in-the-loop picks: user_select and getpoint, hosted by the GUI
over the same REST routes, with on-screen pending signals
Taken from the fork's commits b7a7ed80, 69396b42, 64f1cf6a, c3aafc8e,
bb5a7bfa, 52317a5c, 50d293ba, b90e194f, 517c6397, 53a5c4c9, a49ac045,
37de5a46, a78b1822, 6d9aed2a, 33f522da, 5b5cafe2, 02a7e78d, 94df40dc,
fd5bc14d, 485fac61 and 2c5fc994.
Left out on purpose: 37de5a46 also removed the donation surface (the
Patreon fetch, the donation prompt, the Start-page supporters rail, the
DONATE command and its locale strings) and replaced the About dialog's call
to action; that is the fork's own product decision and stays out. The
fork's version bump and its unrelated IFC/BIM work are not part of this.
Adapted while porting: the REST server and the GUI bridge are desktop-only
and a template start is refused in the web build, so the wasm target still
compiles; the two plot tests read the PDF through the shared stream helper,
because exported streams are Flate-compressed; the benches set the new
crosshair field; comments and docs describe each operation in its own
terms rather than by another product's API names.
