Bottom nav on every page, Apollonius, and the Combine menu completed
Navigation
- Every page's own Previous/Next line is now repeated at the bottom, directly
above the Related heading. Done by tools/add_bottom_nav.py, which finds that
heading BY NAME rather than by position, so the nav never lands in the middle
of a real section.
circles-arcs
- New Apollonius section with its own figure, apollonius-cases.png, built by a
new generator build_apollonius.mjs. Three worked cases: two lines and a
circle, three circles, two points and a line. One solution solid, the rest
light and dotted. Placed immediately before the Arc tool heading.
- circle-methods.png reverted: Apollonius gets a separate diagram, not a
fourth panel on the existing one.
selection
- Select Outer Edges removed. It is a node-side command and does not belong on
the modeling-view page. Added a Related link to the node page instead.
transform-tools
- Rewritten so the page only ever speaks of transforming POINTS. Locus does not
transform objects, it transforms the free root points an object is built
from, and everything standing on them re-solves and follows.
- New callout before the Transform menu heading: if root points are shared with
objects you do not want to move, run Edit > Detach first.
- Reference and handle clicks snap in all the same ways a point does.
align-distribute
- The same Detach callout added at the bottom, below the refusal paragraph.
regions-booleans
- Paint Region added to the list of ways to build a region.
menu-combine
- The Combine menu has eight commands and this page listed six. Paint Region
and Split (Bake) added, in menu order.
- Two new pages: combine-paint.md and combine-split.md. Split's page says
plainly that it is a one-shot bake, not a live boolean.
- The Previous/Next chain shifted, so combine-fill, combine-autoregion,
combine-difference and menu-transform changed their nav lines, and _Sidebar
gained both entries.
- Both icons rendered by the normal exporter from Vera's glyphs, tinted region
like the rest of the row.
Keyboard characters only: sweep all 245 English pages
Every character that cannot be typed on a US keyboard is replaced. Em dash
becomes a colon where it introduces a list bullet's description, matching how
the Italian pages already read, and a spaced hyphen everywhere else. The
Previous/Next angle quotes and the breadcrumb arrows become < and >, the menu
path triangle becomes >, arrows spell out as -> and <->, the ellipsis becomes
three periods, and the en dash and minus sign become a hyphen.
Two characters do two jobs and are split by context. The middle dot is a pipe
where it separates links and " x " where it is multiplication, as in Min + k x
Step and Radius x cos(Angle). The degree sign becomes " degrees" after a digit
and is dropped after a letter, where it was a stale reference to the Rotate
node's Angle socket, which no longer carries one.
Also: superscript two becomes 2, the square root sign becomes sqrt, the
division sign becomes /, less-than-or-equal becomes <=, and the decorative
emoji in Home, the footer, the sidebar, community and licensing are removed.
Kept: the command, shift and option key glyphs in the shortcut lines, and the
Greek letters used as math notation.
Verified: no file changed its line count, and no markdown table row changed its
cell count.
Rewrite install page for the signed re-release
The page was written against the unsigned beta and is now false in every
security-related line. Replaced wholesale rather than patched.
- States the builds are code-signed: notarized by Apple on macOS, signed
on Windows. The page never said this before, and it is the trust signal
the signing was paid for.
- Drops "currently unsigned" from both platform sections.
- Removes the macOS right-click-Open step. Apple removed that Gatekeeper
bypass in Sequoia (2024), so it was wrong even before the signing.
- Removes the Windows SmartScreen More info / Run anyway walkthrough,
along with the claim that the prompt "doesn't reappear after the app is
installed." That was never true: SmartScreen reputation builds per file
version, starting from zero.
- Both platforms are now two steps, no warnings to click past.
- Replaces the security notes with one note saying you should not see a
warning, and that if you do the download is probably damaged: re-fetch
from Releases and report it on Discussions.
No version bump. The unsigned build was pulled before anyone downloaded
it, so there are no unsigned copies in the wild and no migration section
is needed. The signed build stays 0.2.0.
Docs: app now ships on macOS and Windows
