v0.1
First preview build
The 2D parametric sketcher and the document model underneath it. Solid modelling exists in the source but is not part of what this build offers.
New (14)
- Constraint-based 2D sketcher driven by a Newton-Raphson solver
- Seventy-two geometric and dimensional constraint types
- Degree-of-freedom analysis that drives entity colour and the DOF overlay
- Redundant-constraint detection, reported per constraint rather than as a failed solve
- Validate Sketch diagnostics, with a repair offered alongside each issue
- Horizontal and vertical constraints inferred while drawing
- Heads-up numeric input on the canvas for dimension values
- Connected-chain selection
- Trim, extend, break, fillet, chamfer, offset, mirror, rotate, scale and translate
- Driven reference dimensions that measure without over-constraining
- Grid snap with adjustable increment, and axis capture
- Document model with an undo and redo stack
- Project file format with schema versioning
- OpenCascade-backed viewport with orbit, pan and zoom
