Sketch on a picked flat face or reference plane opens the sketch on it at once. With nothing
picked it no longer enters sketch mode: the reference planes and axes come up, and the plane or
flat face clicked next opens the sketch and puts them away. Esc or Cancel leaves without one.
A picked plane is used up by the sketch on it and dropped by Esc or a click on nothing, the plane
prompt is no longer replaced by a stale tool hint, and clicking the face a sketch was just
cancelled on picks that face again rather than the whole body.
Each Feature tree row now carries Edit, Show/hide and Delete, and each
Bodies row carries Move, Show/hide and Delete. These act on that row
instead of on the selection. The eye shows a closed eye when the item
is hidden. Every clickable icon in the sidebar now highlights on hover.
Rename and Color now come first in the right-click menu, as items of
their own instead of inside Modify. This applies wherever they appear,
whether opened from the viewport or from a Bodies row.
Clicking an already-selected row no longer starts a rename; use F2,
the row's right-click menu, or the Rename command.
main moved the CAD docs into docs/HLSD/design-tab.md and the offer
generator and atlas into scripts/CAD/ (#15803).
- The four docs this branch had edited are deleted as on main. What the
branch changes about the design goes into the HLSD doc: the right-click
is judged by drift over the whole press, with no time budget; a Text
feature stores its outlines as well as its string, font and height; a
new section on how the Design canvas renders bodies (studio lighting
through the shared phong shader, B-rep edge ribbons).
- gen_offer_table.py keeps both main's atlas validation and this
branch's L() markers on user-facing strings.
- The Text verb's hint is now changed in scripts/CAD/tool_atlas.json as
well, so `gen_offer_table.py --check` passes.
- DesignPanel.cpp keeps the DesignTextDialog include and main's new
path in the offer comment.

The context menu still said the text outline is added to the sketch as
editable lines, which is what it did before Text became its own
feature. Only SVG goes into the open sketch now; the comments on that
path say so.

- Offer table: user-facing strings carry the L() marker so xgettext
extracts them; DesignOffer.hpp, DesignSketchTool.cpp and
SketchInlineEditor.cpp are listed in localization/i18n/list.txt.
- Offer: model-mode Constrain sits in the same row as the sketch one;
Interference is wired; Rib shows its R key; a verb that accepts the
selection but is blocked by the document stays greyed with its reason
instead of vanishing from the submenu; one refusal wording per verb.
- Extrude infers Join when the profile touches a solid (new
CadDocument::body_touching_sketch) and on face push/pull; New body in
free space. Revolve/Sweep/Loft/Boolean use the same result words.
- Interference and volume/area reports go to the status line in mm3/mm2
instead of modal dialogs; Delete Body no longer asks (it is undoable).
- New feature names match the card header ("Extrude 3"), translated;
"Coordinate system", "Angle (°)", center/color spelling, translated
face and length readouts, slot hints say width.
- CAD gizmos in Prepare are selectable only with the CAD feature on; the
sketch auto-close setting is stored per design.
- Docs: confirm/cancel rules, enabling the feature and MCP in
design_tab.md; drift-only right-click in interaction-model.md; the
portability note rewritten to describe the integration as it is.

User report 2026-08-23: "clicking on a body row in feature tree, I cannot find
rename on right click", then "still i cannot rename body1 in custom name".
TWO SEPARATE CAUSES, one in data and one in a single method call.
THE MISSING ROW WAS DATA. The `rename` verb's accepts list in the tool atlas was
["sk_loop"] alone, so the offer built for a selected BODY carried no Rename row.
Right-clicking a body row already opens the offer — that is the designed gesture,
bound on m_parts as wxEVT_TREE_ITEM_MENU — so the menu the user was looking at
was the right menu, and it was simply missing the verb. accepts is now
["sk_loop", "body_solid"], the generated table regenerated with it (the accept
mask moves 0x00004000 -> 0x00004080), and the offer trace confirms the row:
"[OFFER] row=7 Modify > rename".
THE RENAME ITSELF WAS BLOCKED BY UnselectAll(). Both trees are wxTR_SINGLE, and
wxTreeCtrl::UnselectAll() is the MULTI-selection call: on a single-selection tree
it leaves the row selected. So every path that tried to open the label editor
while a body row was selected hit the BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT guard — which vetoes while
tree_body_selection() >= 0, the rule that stops a body taking a name it cannot
keep across a recompute — and the editor never opened. Unselect() is the call
that works, and it fixes every route at once.
That took five attempts, four of them wrong, and the reason they were wrong is
worth more than the fix: each one addressed a plausible cause that the evidence
did not actually support — the popup's nested event loop, keyboard focus,
deferring with CallAfter, dispatching through a different verb. What settled it
was a DISCRIMINATOR rather than another fix: pressing F2 on a selected body row
takes the same handler with no menu and no nested loop. F2 failed identically,
which ruled out every menu-shaped theory in one measurement and left only the
state the veto reads.
A body still has no name of its own — it is recomputed from the recipe on every
change and CadBody::name is derived from the feature that builds it — so the verb
resolves the body to CadBody::source_feature and renames THAT, saying so on the
status line: "A body takes its name from the feature that makes it — renaming
'Extrude'". The Bodies row now reads "Body 1 — Extrude" so the rename is visible
where it was made; the positional "Body N" leads, because every status message,
the interference report and the mate errors identify bodies that way. Confirmed
as the wanted format by the user.
Also here, from the same report: the Bodies card keeps its own action row (Move,
Show / hide, Delete, Colour), and the competing context menu an earlier pass had
added to body rows is REMOVED — right-clicking a body belongs to the offer, and
two menus on one gesture is how the offer ended up being blamed for a veto.
Verified on the rig, both routes, with a body selected:
F2 on the body row -> ['Sketch', 'Extrude'] became ['Sketch', 'Base block']
the offer's rename verb -> {'applies': True, 'dispatched': True,
'selection_kind': 7, 'ok': True} and the same rename
Gate green: ALL LADDERS HELD — offer table matches the atlas, kernel 188 cases /
2532 assertions, engine rungs 1-8, 977-sheet corpus + the heaviest sheets,
gesture ladder 98/98, offer ladder 108/108.
RIG DISCIPLINE, repeated twice in one session and now written down: ladder-all.sh
does not relaunch the app, so hand-driving the rig immediately before a gate
leaves state its reset_document() cannot clear — both times the first rung drew
nothing and reported "sides []", which reads exactly like a broken rectangle
tool. Relaunch before gating.
snaporca-ziam said gen_offer_table.py would silently delete the model-mode "Constrain sketch"
row, because that row lived in the generated header and not in tool_atlas.json. Running it found
more than that: FOUR rows existed only in the header — constrain, rename, and the three typed-
value rows sk_length / sk_radius / sk_angdist — and sk_delete's action had drifted, pointing the
sketch row at btn:delete, the FEATURE delete.
All five are now in the atlas, so the header regenerates byte-identically from it. Verbs may carry
a `note`, emitted as a C++ comment above the row: a rationale written into a generated file is
deleted by the next regeneration, which is how this started.
snaporca-z8rs (P1), found by making that true: after the atlas held all 92 verbs, the regenerated
header differed from the checked-in one by EXACTLY ONE LINE — kOfferVerbCount, 91 against 92.
Every consumer loops i < kOfferVerbCount, so the last row of the table was invisible: never listed
by show_offer_menu, never findable by mcp_run_verb. The verb that fell off the end is sk_angdist,
"Angle / distance…" — the typed-value row for a two-entity selection. On the one selection where
you would ask for the angle between two lines, the row that types it was not in the menu.
It survived because nothing compared the Sk2Ent menu against the table: sk_angdist accepts Sk2Ent
and nothing else, so an off-by-one that dropped the LAST verb was invisible from every other
selection. The vocabulary rung now covers Sk2Ent too, and picking the pair taught it one more
rig fact — shift-clicking a circle at its +X point grabs the RADIUS GRIP, which replaces the
selection with that one entity, so the pair silently collapsed to one and the offer answered
SkLine. Correctly, for the selection that actually existed.
gen_offer_table.py --check proves header == atlas and changes nothing; it is now the first step of
scripts/ladder-all.sh, and the only one that needs no rig.
Offer ladder 107/107, gesture ladder 93/93, both on the rig.

Carries snaporca 95e59289f9, faec177d42 and 20df726ecb. Parity re-verified: 17 files identical,
8 diverging by their expected counts — DesignCanvas.cpp back to 16 and DesignPanel.cpp back to
32, which is the proof each hunk landed on the right side of the FeatFlyout and TAB_ID_PREPARE
divergences rather than on top of them.
All three answer exussum12's review on OrcaSlicer PR #15238.
ENTER/ESC IN THE VALUE FIELD. The field is a borderless always-on-top frame, and whether it may
hold keyboard focus is the platform's decision — a borderless NSWindow can never be key, and
mutter refuses a re-mapped window. When focus is denied the keys reach the panel instead and the
queued-dimension chain (a line queues Length then Angle) cannot be walked. The CHAR_HOOK now
forwards Enter/Numpad-Enter/Tab/Esc to the field when it is open and unfocused, and stays out of
the way when it is focused.
ESC FROM ANYWHERE. Separately and more simply: `dismissable` is false throughout sketch mode
because m_active is the FEATURE tool, so Esc fell through to whatever widget had focus. Click
any toolbar button or the Construction checkbox first and Esc did nothing at all — the likelier
reading of "Esc hardly ever works", and platform-independent. DesignCanvas exposes
request_sketch_exit() and the hook calls it whenever a sketch is live, after the inline-field
forwarding so an open field still takes Esc first.
RENAME. wxTR_EDIT_LABELS plus the two label-edit events write through to CadFeature::name and the
recipe, with a Rename verb in the offer and F2. The rebuild is deferred with CallAfter because
refresh_tree() destroys the very wxTreeItemId wx is holding during END_LABEL_EDIT — inline, it
killed the process.
STALE PICKS. set_tool now drops the Dimension tool's first pick, the Constrain picks and
m_point_sel, and delete_selected clears the pending dimension reference that could otherwise
dereference a renumbered entity.

Carries snaporca 971320e129, 6b049f0dc6, 4aae782029, 444d59f212, 74cf3d7e54 and the build
guards from 597557a6e4. Parity re-verified after every hunk: 17 files identical, 8 diverging by
their expected counts — DesignPanel.cpp still 32, DesignCanvas.cpp still 16, which is the proof
each hunk landed on the right side rather than being copied over a real divergence.
OFFSET OFFSETS THE CHAIN. Per-entity offsetting returned a closed rectangle as four parallel
segments that no longer touch, so entities_to_wires gave four OPEN wires and nothing could be
extruded. offset_entities now chains by shared endpoints and repairs each seam by mitering the
neighbours to their intersection. Second bug, invisible to any single-entity test: +d meant
"left of travel" for a line but "radius + d" for an arc regardless of sweep, so a slot outline
offset with its straights going one way and its caps the other. The convention is now written on
the declaration and pinned by a test.
tests/libslic3r/test_sketchprofile.cpp is new and asserts the LOOP rather than coordinates —
the property that decides whether a profile can be built, and the one the existing single-entity
[SketchEdit] cases cannot see. Its include is catch2/catch_all.hpp here: this fork ships Catch2
v3 while snaporca is on v2, which is why the test files are a tolerated divergence.
RIGHT-CLICK PICKS WHAT YOU POINTED AT, so a line's own verbs are offered instead of the
empty-selection vocabulary; sk_delete stops sharing btn:delete with the feature tree; and an
element's defining number (length / radius / diameter / angle / distance) can be typed, from the
menu or from V.
TWELVE MCP SKETCH VERBS. The socket had ~40 verbs and none touched a sketch, so the 2D layer
could only be exercised by driving a GUI with synthetic clicks. sketch_describe reports each
closed loop, the loops it encloses as voids, exact areas, and where a chain is still open;
sketch_validate/sketch_heal are FreeCAD's ValidateSketch — find vertices that overlap within a
tolerance but carry no coincidence, then weld them AND record the constraint, so a loop closed
by floating-point luck becomes one closed by construction. scripts/mcp-sketch-smoke.py is the
loop that asserts all of it.
Kernel suite on this fork: all tests passed, 2677 assertions in 230 test cases. The GUI target
links against the rebuilt deps image (the wxInspector blockage is gone) and the binary carries
the new verbs.

Review request on PR #15238: "Place CAD-related files (e.g. CadDocument/
GeometryEngine) into a separate folder."
src/libslic3r/CAD/ the kernel — CadDocument, GeometryEngine, the four
Sketch* units, SketchSolver, ThreadStandards
src/slic3r/GUI/CAD/ the tab — DesignPanel, DesignCanvas, DesignSketchTool,
SketchInlineEditor, McpControl, generated DesignOffer
Pure relocation: no line of logic changes. Two include rewrites follow from it —
files that moved re-spell their own neighbours against src/ (already on the
include path), and files that did not move pick up the new folder. docs and
docs/ux/mockups/gen_offer_table.py follow the same paths.
Verified: libslic3r, libslic3r_gui and libslic3r_tests all build, CAD suite green
at 2518 assertions in 194 test cases, and the sibling fork builds identically —
17 shared sources still byte-identical, 8 diverging by their expected counts.
