Keep all solid geometry GPU-resident during navigation. Use vertex-rate instancing, compact untextured vertices, vertex-cache ordering, and cached silhouette sources without culling geometry.
Two faults kept faces out of a lifted solid, and both looked like a document
problem rather than a reader one — the lift reported no loss at all.
An edge's stored parameter pair can span the right length from the wrong
place, putting a straight curve beside the face it bounds instead of along
it. And a loop's coedges are not always listed in the order the ring runs,
which the old chaining could not fix: it reversed the next piece in the list,
where what was needed was a different piece.
Either one leaves a ring that crosses itself, which ear clipping declines, so
the face is dropped without a word.
Handle 176 of Annotation-2D-Mesh-Solid-BIM.dwg now meshes all fourteen of its
faces, where it managed ten. Across that file: 105 of 107 solids complete, 865
of 867 faces. Across VILLA_NEU_IFC3.dwg: 672 of 763 solids, 58922 of 59033
faces.
The fallback sampler stays until that reaches all of them — a complete mesh is
what stops it running, and 111 faces still need it.

The feature existed for one reason: truck's mesh and boolean crates reach
`vtkio → xz2 → lzma-sys`, a C library that cannot cross-compile to wasm32. So
the web build dropped it, and with it the Model tab, solid tessellation and
ACIS import — all of which quietly did nothing in the browser.
cadkernel is pure Rust and has no C dependency, so none of that holds any
more. The feature gated exactly two things by the end, `acis_export` and the
save-path sync that calls it, and both are as portable as everything around
them. Removing it means the web build makes primitives, runs booleans, draws
ACIS solids read from a file, and writes them back out as exact geometry — the
same as the desktop build.
Verified against all three: native, `--no-default-features`, and an actual
`wasm32-unknown-unknown` check rather than an assumption about one.
The docs claimed otherwise in four places and are corrected. `tessellation.md`
in particular was organised around whether an entity "goes through truck",
which is no longer a question anything can be asked — the three paths are now
a kernel B-rep mesh, a curve sampled through `entities::curve`, or geometry
emitted directly, and the per-entity table is updated to match.
`index.html` no longer passes `data-cargo-no-default-features`; there are no
features left to turn off.

Two things the truck removal broke without saying so, both found by auditing
what is left in the manifest rather than by anything failing.
The cfg gate on `acis_export` ended up on `acad_to_render` instead, when that
module was put back after being deleted by mistake. `acad_to_render` is what
every entity converts through, so gating it left the wasm build — which is
what `--no-default-features` stands in for — unable to resolve it from thirty
places. It built at the commit before the migration and builds again now.
And deleting TRUCK_CHORD_FRAC took the constant but left its doc comment and
its `#[cfg]` behind, so the attribute landed on the next constant down and
gated a boundary-sampling tolerance that has nothing to do with solids.
lzma-sys was the last dependency in the manifest with nothing using it: no
code references it and nothing else in the tree pulls it in. The `solid3d`
feature it hung off still gates four places, so the feature stays.
Everything else declared is used. `getrandom` and `iced_widget` look unused
by grep and are not — the first is declared to turn on the feature the wasm
target needs from a crate half the tree pulls in, and the second is a
`[patch]` entry rather than a dependency at all.

The last four truck crates are gone from the manifest. What they were doing
falls into three parts, and each now has one answer instead of two.
NURBS evaluation. truck was carrying B-spline curves and surfaces for the
SPLINE entity, hatch boundaries, BLEND's endpoint frames, the spline preview
and ACIS spline-surface faces. The kernel now has both, over one de Boor
written across however many coordinates a control point holds — so a plane
curve and a space curve cannot drift apart, and a surface is the same
algorithm applied twice. The rational and the polynomial cases stop being
separate types: weights absent means polynomial.
The entity conversion. Every LINE, ARC, ELLIPSE, SPLINE and polyline was
built into truck topology purely so it could be sampled back into points.
They are sampled through `entities::curve` now, which is where each one's
geometry is already defined once and what EXTRUDE and REVOLVE read — so a
circle drawn on screen and a circle handed to the Model tab come from the
same definition. That retires four of TruckObject's variants and the module
is renamed for what it does.
SWEEP and LOFT. Both only ever produced a mesh, so both are built from point
lists: a band of quads per span, and a lid where a profile closes. Lofting
profiles of different densities resamples them by distance rather than by
index, so a circle lofted to a square no longer twists.
Two things worth noting for anyone reading the old comments. The tolerance
globals that lived in the tessellation module were never about truck at all —
they are the per-frame chord height, and they move to `curve_tol`. And the
rule that a profile handed over as `Lines` silently broke EXTRUDE and REVOLVE
no longer holds: those read the curve directly and never look at this channel.
The two `automation` test failures are unchanged from before this and are not
caused by it.

Every 3-D solid OCS makes or opens now goes through cadkernel, which holds
analytic surfaces — a cylinder is a cylinder record, not a spline that looks
like one. That is what lets a solid built here be written back out as exact
ACIS instead of a triangulation, and a facetted export is a one-way door: the
next application to open the file would have no way back to the circle.
The Model tab's seven primitives, the Design-group booleans, 3DROTATE,
3DMIRROR, 3DALIGN, SLICE, SECTION, POLYSOLID and PYRAMID all come from the
kernel now, and `scene.solid_models` holds a `Body`. A mirrored solid needed
its own care before; the kernel reverses the loops on the way through, so it
comes back the right way out rather than lighting black.
EXTRUDE and REVOLVE sweep the profile `entities::curve` already defines, so a
circle, an arc-bulged polyline and a closed spline arrive as the same thing.
A circle extrudes into four cylinder patches rather than a run of chords, and
a profile turned about an axis becomes a cone, a sphere or a torus. A spline
profile has no analytic side wall and is refused rather than approximated.
ACIS goes both ways through the codec's own bridge: `lift` to read and
`append` to write. That drops the 679-line truck conversion and the planar-
only exporter, and the tessellator keeps its bespoke sampler as a fallback for
whatever the kernel cannot yet express — reported rather than passed off as
whole, since a mesh missing a wall looks finished.
truck-shapeops is no longer used and is gone from the manifest. truck-modeling
stays for now: fourteen files use it as a 3-D NURBS evaluator, which the
kernel has no answer for yet, and SWEEP and LOFT have no kernel operation
behind them either.
The two `automation` test failures are unchanged from before this and are not
caused by it.

The kernel gained a B-rep layer — topology, analytic surfaces, surface
intersection, face splitting, point classification, booleans — and
acadifc gained the bridge that lifts an ACIS document into it and lowers
it back, provenance-driven so an untouched body saves byte for byte.
The reachability test is a compile-time one on purpose. A dependency
chain that stops resolving is caught where it breaks rather than the
next time somebody reaches for the far end of it.
