The three things rival tools genuinely had on us, closed on our terms — plus radial symmetry because it sounds cool.

  • Constrained auto-complete (vs ZRemesher guides). Suggest Arcs now treats your authored arcs as constraints: the field flows into them, nothing is proposed where you already drew, and traces end on your arcs so accepting connects them. Draw the key lines, ask for the rest.
  • The result brush (vs TopoGun). Press B: drag tweaks with soft falloff, Shift-drag relaxes, wheel sizes. Everything stays glued to the sculpt, and ending the brush captures the session into the delta layer — the massage survives every rebuild.
  • Map baking (vs 3D Coat). One click in Finish: tangent normal (and optional AO) onto the layout UVs, cage computed from the real mesh gap, images packed. The pipeline ends inside the addon now.
  • Radialize. Draw one wedge, set N and axis, accept the rotational copies as ghosts — the accept lane welds the borders, and re-running proposes nothing new.

Also: the quantizer can no longer be crashed by a non-finite value (degrades gracefully and names the corrupted arc), and the verification sweep was rebuilt memory-safe (chunked, sequential, in-repo).

Suite: 474 headless + 19 GUI checks, 117-layout sweep clean.
