# Grid:Apps Future Notes

## `C` cosmetic, `F` functional, `P` performance, `B` bug fix

- `F` option to hide platform when viewing from below

# Kiri:Moto

- `B` origin (and bed size) bug (Onshape?) when switching device modes
- `B` can't drag slider bar on ipad / ios -- touch pad scrolling dodgy
- `B` prevent or ask for really large models when scaling (crash ui)

- `P` refactor vertex replacement and widget update matrix tracking
- `P` duplicate objects should share same slice data unless rotated or scaled
- `P` move all persisted / workspace settings/data to IndexedDB (LS limitations)
- `P` faster ray intersect https://github.com/gkjohnson/three-mesh-bvh/
- `P` try material clipping planes for slice range selection
- `P` switch png lib to https://github.com/photopea/UPNG.js

- `F` edit in Mesh:Tool
- `F` custom device vars for profiles / ranges / gcode
- `F` show slider range values in workspace units (on hover?)
- `F` allow select of a range by typing in values in slices or workspace units
- `F` complete and expose grouping feature
- `F` add svgnest-like arrange algorithm
- `F` date column and sorting in recent files list
- `F` highlight part outside workspace bounds (like can neg Z shader)

# FDM

- `B` fix support projection/end with grouped parts
- `B` multi-extruder rendering of raft fails to offset the rest of the print
- `B` multi-extruder purge blocks fail to generate properly for rafts

- `F` new parameters for bridging speed / bridge fan control
- `F` convert ranges to z offsets while continuing to show layer #
- `F` support pillar top/bottom should conform to part
- `F` more explicit line width control with ranges and min/max adaptive
- `F` test outlining solid projected areas (internally)
- `F` gradient infill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq53gsYREHU&feature=emb_logo
- `F` segment large flat areas on first layer to mitigate peeling
- `F` option to support interior bridges when 0% infill
- `F` calculate filament use per extruder per print
- `F` expand internal supporting flats / solids before projection (threshold)

- `P` auto purge pillars when quick layers are detected for extra cooling
- `P` solid fill the tops of supports for down facing flats

# FDM - BELT

- `B` auto bed resizing leaves the origin in the wrong place at first
- `B` re-add progress calls for all work units

- `F` test and enable arcs in belt more
- `F` slightly angle supports to lean into the Z of the part
- `F` anchors should be generated anywhere needed in the print, not just head

# CAM

- `B` feed rate for next tool set before tool change (push/pop feed rates?)
- `B` tabs do not properly track widget mirror events
- `B` contour does not honor clip to stock

- `F` allow import, rotation, scaling of stock
- `F` get gcode coordinates off a part with point/click or hover?
- `F` include tools in default devices (Carvera)
- `F` add `{progress}` substitution and maybe `{time-remaining}` if can be calc'd
- `F` import and follow 2D paths (conformed like pocket contours)
- `F` add `plunge max` to contouring that can override z feed limit
- `F` add lead-in milling (requires adding clamp / no go areas)
- `F` add linear clearing strategy
- `F` add adaptive clearing strategy
- `F` change color of line selection in trace op when not a closed poly
- `F` limit cut depth to flute length of selected tool (or warn)
- `F` validate muti-part layout and spacing exceeds largest outside tool diameter
- `F` trapezoidal tabs in Z
- `F` ease-in and ease-out especially on tab cut-out start/stop
- `F` maintain several part orientations + op chains in a single profile

- `P` outer outside corners as arc moves
- `P` improve parser - do not require spaced tokens and support implied G0 / G1
- `P` log Z interpolation for contour XYZ moves

# Laser

- `F` add PLT / HP-GL output format (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-GL)

# Mesh:Tool

- add undo/redo
- add TextGeometry
- https://threejs.org/docs/#examples/en/geometries/TextGeometry
- https://dustinpfister.github.io/2023/07/05/threejs-text-geometry/
- font to path with https://github.com/paulzi/svg-text-to-path
- click to repair normals based on a known good (selected) face
- send to Kiri:Moto workspace (or update model vertices in place)
- better z snap using just vertexes from face intersected
- add section view. local clip. raycast skip points above plane
- add decimate op = face reduction
- add flatten/crush op: for z bottoms (or surfaces?)
- allow setting model/group origin for scale/rotate
- fix mirror to work with groups (just models currently)
- add analyze results dialog
- remove/hide auto-repair function
