The weave nodes, Undo and Redo, Revert to Saved, and prose for 17 commands
Pages for Weave, Crossing Census and Stability Sweep, which nothing documented:
the Calculate button and why evaluate cannot solve, that the result is not saved
in the document, that Tol comes from the sweep plateau, and that the census
counts four-end crossings only where Weave also reads an eight-end tangency.
Undo and Redo get a page, one for both commands: two histories, one per window,
a hundred steps each, acting on the window you are in. Revert to Saved gets one
too, including that it clears both undo histories, so a revert cannot be undone.
The command prose pass is finished, 35 of 35. Ten Draw pages, five Edit, two
Transform, each written against the source rather than the old one-liner. They
turned up behaviour nothing had written down: a shape owns only the corner
points the tool itself made, a guide crossing gives a free point and not a bound
one, Directed Rectangle's third click is a distance that leaves a width handle,
and Clean Up asks for a merge tolerance and skips merges that would destroy a
derived point.
selection.md gains a Select Same section covering all six commands, which had
only ever had a row each.
Every one of the ten pages the menu-order rule governs now carries the app's own
rows in the app's own order, and Schematic finally has its icon.
The File and View menus get pages for their commands
Every File and every View command pointed at a concept page; neither menu had a
page of its own for anything in it. Ten File pages and ten View pages now cover
them, with the rows, the sidebar and the reading chain wired to match.
Lock Guides was missing from the wiki altogether. Command Descriptions is a
palette setting rather than a View item, and now says so. Mirror moves from
Transform to Construct, where the app puts it. Transform gains the ten align
and distribute commands it had never listed. A duplicate row that sat inside
the Combine breadcrumb is gone.
Node cards regenerated for 21 nodes, five of which had silently stopped
rendering months ago. New pages for Regular Polygon: Edge, Regular Polygon:
Center and Reverse Direction, and new effect diagrams for Schematic, Alignment
Snaps and View Seams.
Docs: American spellings, Explode retirement, new nodes, prose pass
American spellings throughout. 346 replacements across the public text:
centre, colour, grey where it was not the noun, millimetre, behaviour,
organise and the rest. Gray keeps its E, which is how Blossom spells it.
No UI label in the app was ever British, so the wiki and the app agree.
Explode is now one node. node-explode.md is new and answers for every
shape, taking a group apart a layer at a time. The six per-type pages
stay reachable and each carries a retirement notice pointing at it;
documents built with them still open and still work.
Two new node pages, Compare and Select by Condition, both with an icon
pending note for Vera.
Export grouping documented in preferences, export-svg and export-dxf:
Group by Layers and Group by Outline Color, alongside hairline black.
Math gains Absolute Value. Tangent rewritten to the new behaviour:
options shown, nearest one chosen, click again for the other.
Select Parents and Select Children written into selection.md from
Theo's spec, with two rows in menu-select.md and dead icon references.
Not shipped yet. Both ADD to the selection rather than replacing it.
Node prose pass. Every node page now carries at least a short
explanation, on the principle that a reader landed there because the
interface did not explain itself. Command pages are getting the same
treatment, 14 of 34 so far.
First-pattern figures rebuilt. The Slider and Math wires crossed on the
way into Rotate, which made the Home page banner read as though Angle
and Repeat were swapped. They were not; the layout was wrong. Also
dropped a degree sign from the Angle socket label, which the app does
not have.
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.
