Converted sheets take the rule's corner relief between walls and its bend relief where a bend ends beside more of the fixed face, and a wall on part of an edge bends only where it stands. Noted under format 21; nothing new is saved.
A new face-based Extrude Join (and outward Press Pull) joins the picked face's body by default and stores that scope, so an edge-touching neighbour is no longer tried first or absorbed. Explicit targets and participants still win. Related to #226.
The Joint and As-built Joint dialogs explain why picks make no joint and offer Create Components from Bodies when every pick is on one component; joint.create and joint.as_built suggest component.from_bodies. Labels in all catalogs. Fixes#1239.
Fixes#1187. New parameters.move {name, before|after} reorders user parameters (the design's own params order, so it is saved with no format change, and undoable); the Parameters dialog's user rows get up/down buttons. Label in every catalog. I merged main in. Checked on main + this branch: cargo check --workspace, the engine parameters tests, the UI parameter_order test, and docs/features.md regenerates unchanged.
Closes#1284. sheet.export_dxf writes layers by role (OUTLINE, CUT, TEXT or ETCH, dashed BEND_UP/BEND_DOWN, optional BEND_NOTES, POCKET_<side>_Z…_MM and PERFORATION), inner contours before the outline; text: cut|etch, bend_notes and note_height, per_body files. Letters are derived from the timeline, nothing new is saved (format unchanged). I merged main in (the export's parameter list keeps main's pocket layer names). Checked on main + this branch: cargo check --workspace, the engine cmd::sheet tests (160) and the io DXF tests.
Fixes#1167. While a sketch is edited, a body that a rolled-off, unsuppressed Remove deletes is not shown (unless the sketch is built on it); the history stays rolled back, only the view changes. Drawing, picking, screenshots, thumbnails and the browser's Bodies folder agree; document.inspect reports removed_later. Checked on main + this branch: cargo check --workspace, the engine sketch_edit_removed/occurrences tests and the UI viewport/browser tests.
Part of #771 and #772. solid.sweep and surface.sweep take orientation (perpendicular, parallel or a direction), twist (up to 4 turns) and end scale (0.01 to 100), applied about the profile's normal through the path's start; default options run the old sweep, so existing sweeps are unchanged. New fields are optional, left out when unset and noted under format 21; twist and scale are model parameters. Both sweep dialogs get Orientation, Twist and End Scale rows; labels in every catalog. Checked on main + this branch: cargo check --workspace, kernel/engine/UI sweep tests, the doc suite and the robustness goldens.
One docked Save as mesh dialog replaces Export STL / 3MF / 3MF with face tags, with an optional Send to slicer that lists the slicers installed on this machine. Engine: file.save_mesh and file.slicers; the Convert Mesh dialog goes (mesh.convert and the MeshConvert feature stay, so existing designs open). Strings in all catalogs; screenshots in the PR. Checked on main + this branch: cargo check --workspace, the engine slicer/mesh/file tests, the UI catalog and menu tests and scenario s14 (the one local colour-token failure is epaint's TexturesDelta panic, which main shows on this machine too).
Fixes#1075. sketch.constraint.symmetry takes a centre point (the origin or any sketch point) as well as a line; the Symmetry tool's third pick may be the origin point or the sketch's own X/Y origin axis. Checked on main + this branch: cargo check --workspace, the engine cmd::sketch tests (257) and the UI symmetry pick tests.
solidcraft-cli snapshot takes --camera JSON and --view with a saved view name (through view.apply, as the MCP screenshot does), plus --no-grid and --no-axes; the MCP screenshot and ui.render take grid/axes, the headless render skips a hidden origin axis, and the app's ui.render follows the Grid and Origin switches. Closes#1245.
A Convert to Sheet Metal bend point can now lie on a bend modelled with its radius (a cylinder tangent to two flat faces) or in the middle of a chamfer; either becomes one bend at the faces' virtual sharp, with the rule's radius. Holes and engravings carry over. Bend points on edges convert as before. Recorded under format 21. Tests in cmd::sheet::convert_tests; the sheet-metal guide is updated.
file.insert_step and doc.open on a STEP file take `up` (turn a Y-up file so its up is +Z) and `names` (names for the imported bodies). The MCP tool and the app's control requests pass them through; an import without them works as before. Tests in the kernel's STEP reader, the engine, MCP and the file-load UI; docs/step-import.md and docs/mcp.md describe both.
snapshot starts from --in (a design or STEP file) with the script on top, as run does, and refuses options it doesn't take; an unknown command id names the closest registered ids.
joint.drive answers moved, and a reason (with unconnected) when the joint can move nothing; motion.play answers moved and unmoved; joint.list answers floating chains. joint.drive values come back in joint.list's shape (deg/mm). quiet: true trims joint answers and motion.play poses. A single value keeps a joint's other values. Drive Joints shows the floating case (drive.unconnected, all locales).
component.list {compact: true} gives counts of bodies, features, sketches and construction planes instead of their names, lists occurrences without identity transforms and children as occurrence ids; bodies: true keeps body names. The default form is unchanged.
A regression test: an inside flange on a 100 x 60 plate turned by every whole degree from 0 to 89 builds and keeps the analytic volume. At 62 degrees the trimmed corner used to land on a border of the sew's vertex grid and the flange failed to close.
A symmetric solid extrude of 10 mm is now 10 mm thick, 5 mm each side of the sketch plane, and switching from One Side to Symmetric keeps the thickness entered. Under format 21 the extent records its convention; designs saved without it keep the per-side reading, so their geometry and parameters don't change. Fixes#1236.

A round or chamfer whose edge chain runs on across a curved seam (the end circle of a lofted tube whose axis bends) is now built: the section solve keeps its contact on the seam through a plane taken afresh at the seam's nearest point at each step. Straight seams are unchanged. Robustness seed 41 is re-recorded: its second fillet, refused before, now builds. Fixes#1213.

A corner whose two curves end on separate points held together by a Coincident constraint (a line drawn to where an arc starts) is welded into one shared point before Fillet or a Chamfer rounds or cuts it, so it no longer reports that the corner must join two lines. Only a partner point held by nothing but that constraint is welded. Fixes#1208.

An opt-in Touchpad navigation preset: Shift + pointer motion pans, Alt/Option + motion orbits, vertical scroll zooms, all without a mouse button. Existing presets are unchanged; view.navigate gains continuous motion for the control channel and scenarios.
Extend works on any surface: natural (continuing the face's own surface), tangent (G1 run-off) or curvature (G2 run-off), by a distance, up to a plane or face, or back to the surface's bounds, with neighbouring edges lengthened to meet. Untrim and Extend share face parameter-loop helpers. The new SurfaceExtend fields are noted under format 21. Closes#760.
A loft section with a hole is refused with a clear message instead of being lofted as if filled, in both section-to-section and section-to-point lofts. Fixes#1184.
Ruled Surface: strips off an edge chain in normal, tangent, angle or direction mode, exact planes/cylinders/cones where possible, mitred or round corners, stitched into one surface body. SurfaceRuled is noted under format 21. Closes#762.
* Smart Extrude: direction from the picked side, Cut into a body stays a Cut (#1257)
- A sketch profile (or a thin extrude's curve) extrudes toward the side it was
picked from: from the bottom view it goes down. Body faces still go outward.
- The automatic operation is latched per side of the profile: a drag that starts
into a body is a Cut and stays one past the far side; a Join does not become a
Cut when it reaches another body. Passing through zero decides afresh for the
new side.
- An explicit operation, Direction or Reverse ends the automatic choices.
- auto_operation also looks just past the profile, so a long cut through a body
reads as a Cut from the start (the engine's operation: "auto" too).

Lands the Render workspace (R3), bounded preview-image jobs with cancellation and atomic PNG export (R4a), and opaque PBR looks as one change.
- Render workspace: an overlay-free product preview on the installed GPU device. Returning to Design restores its camera. render.scene and render.settings.apply are added.
- Image jobs: render.preflight/start/status/cancel/export run bounded CPU preview jobs. Export captures the job, overwrite choice and document, and checks the caller's file scope before writing.
- Opaque PBR: looks can carry metal fraction, roughness and dielectric IOR. The product viewport and preview PNG use them; geometry and mass are unchanged. The v1 catalog export refuses PBR rather than dropping it.
- Render setups and PBR looks are saved under design format 21. Labels are in en/de/ja/ko/zh/ru.
Supersedes #706 and #800. Refs #620, #673, #756, #1004.

A design carries metadata (format 21): project, part number, revision, author, organization, description and license, plus other tools' data under reverse-DNS keys, kept as written. Edited in the Design Properties window (Document Settings), set by document.metadata.set, reported by inspect_design, and written into STEP, IGES and 3MF where the format has a place for them. Translated, with tests.
A crash inside a graphics driver left only "an unclean exit between
commands": no backtrace, no module, no hint that it was at startup.
- The crash journal now keeps the startup step the app is in (window,
graphics instance, surface, adapter request, adapter chosen, device
creation, renderer and viewport shader compiles, surface configure,
first frame and its present, running) and the renderer as soon as the
adapter is picked. egui-wgpu tells the app about its steps through a
small hook. An unclean exit before the first frame names the step.
- Windows: an unhandled-exception filter (src/native_crash.rs, the one
Windows-only module allowed unsafe) writes the exception code, the
faulting module and offset, and a minidump next to the journal; the
next start puts them into the report.
- The Windows CI job runs a child that faults on purpose and checks the
report.

render.settings.set saves validated named render setups (camera, output size, exposure, environment) as one undo step, and render.settings.get reads them back without applying a camera. When validated render settings are the only change, the engine keeps the evaluated model instead of rebuilding it. Setups are saved under design format 21; format-20 designs read as having none. Fixes#658; refs #620.

When projecting a face's boundary loop onto its surface fails from an unhinted first point, the walk is retried once from the first point an unhinted search does find; a walk that succeeds is unchanged. A fillet strip on an extended surface now meshes, so the rim cut in the reported case builds in one boolean.
A primitive's `targets` live in the feature's participants beside its kind; renaming a body now renames them too, so a box or cylinder cutting the renamed body no longer fails with unknown body.
sheet.export_dxf writes an AutoCAD 2000 drawing with ELLIPSE and SPLINE entities for ellipses, splines and text outlines instead of chords, with curves: arcs for machines that read only lines and arcs. Perforation circles go through the same writer. Closes#1089.
Rectangular and circular sketch patterns stay linked to their source: editing the pattern's count, spacing or the source geometry updates the copies, and the copies keep their point and radius relations. Patterns are saved under format 20; older designs keep their independent copies.
Edges shorter than the model tolerance are dropped from the flat cells, and the refold sews touching corners, so a cut-out across a bend line no longer fails with a degenerate edge.
doc.open and the STEP/mesh imports run on the file loader's worker with the request's path scope, and a font named by file path in a design is checked against the scope before it is read.
A design built over MCP is many small commands, and each one did work over the
whole design, so building or showing a 1,300-body design took minutes:
- moved components were transformed and meshed again after every change; world_state
now reuses each placed body whose definition and placement are unchanged
- next_d_name searched the design once per candidate number
- Document::eval evaluated every parameter for every expression; now only when the
expression names one
- param_rows' used_by was quadratic; the desktop no longer gathers completions on every
change while no text box has focus
solidcraft-cli bench-agent builds a generated ~1,300-body bicycle command by command
and times it (241 s -> 16 s here). Eval output is unchanged apart from timings.
