- DrawParametricDimension: TAB cycles snap mode FACE→LAYER→EDGE→VERTEX during
placement; consumes both PRESS and RELEASE when not in input mode to avoid
conflict with polyline Cycle Input
- DrawParametricDimension: IFC-native snap candidate overrides polyline cursor
position in LAYER/EDGE/VERTEX modes; FACE mode shows polygon outline; reuses
_snap_draw_data / _draw_snap_indicator_global infrastructure from SetDimensionAnchor
- DrawParametricDimension: LAYER_BOUNDARY support in _update_perp_constraint,
deriving normal from LayerSetDirection (AXIS1/2/3)
- ClickNearestDimensionAnchor: scan all visible annotations instead of only
selected ones — view3d.select deselects the dimension before this operator
runs, so pre-selection check caused dots to never activate
- AnnotationTool keymap: bim.click_nearest_dimension_anchor placed before
view3d.select so it fires first when the annotation tool is active
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- ClickNearestDimensionAnchor: scan all selected objects instead of active
object so clicking a green dot doesn't lose to the underlying IFC geometry
- GizmoAnchorHandle: remove draw_select entirely (any entry in the select
buffer causes Blender's gizmo system to consume clicks); keep purely visual
- Scale anchor dots to scale_basis = 0.2
- Fix ReferenceError in decoration.py draw loop after undo by catching
ReferenceError and resetting DecoratorData.is_loaded
- SetDimensionAnchor: inherit tool.Ifc.Operator so IFC pset writes are
tracked for undo; finish the modal after each face write so each anchor
gets its own undo step
- Fix ReferenceError in _modal after undo when annotation RNA is freed
- handler.py: add regenerate_dims_for_layer; call it from
EditMaterialSetItem._execute so dimensions update when layer thickness changes
- regenerate_dimension.py: fix ForcePerpendicularToFace for LAYER_BOUNDARY
anchors by deriving the thickness-axis normal from LayerSetDirection
(AXIS2→Y, AXIS1→X, AXIS3→Z) instead of requiring a stored normal_local

- GizmoAnchorHandle + DimensionAnchorWidget: colored dot gizmos at each
dimension curve vertex (green=anchored, orange=free); color changes to
blue while SetDimensionAnchor is in PICK_FACE mode for that vertex
- ClickNearestDimensionAnchor (LMB keymap): Python proximity operator that
fires SetDimensionAnchor pre-targeted at the nearest anchor dot within
120px, returning PASS_THROUGH for misses so normal viewport clicks are
unaffected
- SetDimensionAnchor: added anchor_index prop to enter PICK_FACE directly;
set_active_anchor called at all phase transitions (invoke, vertex-pick,
face-pick, alt-click free, ESC/RMB) so gizmo color tracks state correctly
- handler._sync_dimension_anchors_to_curve: proximity-based anchor sync
when curve vertex count changes in Edit Mode (subdivide / delete)
- depsgraph_update_post_handler: regenerates dimensions when referenced
elements move; also handles annotation curve edits directly
- Remove standalone Set Anchor button from annotation tool UI (replaced by
clicking a gizmo dot)

- BBIM_Dimension.LinePosition (IfcLengthMeasure): holds the dimension line at
a fixed global coordinate along cross(world_Z, dim_direction), independent of
geometry movement
- regenerate_dimension applies LinePosition only when ForcePerpendicularToFace is
also set (the two are semantically coupled); anchor["pt"] always stores the true
surface hit so the measured length is unaffected
- BIMAnnotationProperties.line_position uses get/set callbacks instead of an update
callback to avoid the 'Writing to ID classes in this context is not allowed' error
that fires when Blender draws the tool header
- DimensionLinePositionWidget (BIM_GGT_dimension_line_position): gizmo group with
two opposing GizmoCone handles at the curve midpoint; poll requires
ForcePerpendicularToFace so the handles only appear when the feature is active
- UI: line_position field and gizmo are hidden when ForcePerpendicularToFace is off
- Psets_BBIM_Annotation.ifc: #40 LinePosition template added to BBIM_Dimension

workspace.py:
- Move "Set Dimension Anchor" and "Regenerate" buttons from the properties
panel (ui.py) into draw_edit_object_interface in the annotation tool,
visible whenever a selected object is a dimension-type IfcAnnotation
- Change force_perpendicular_to_face from a push-button (toggle=True) to
a standard checkbox for clearer on/off state
ui.py:
- Remove the "Parametric Dimension" section (now lives in the tool header)
prop.py:
- Add _update_force_perpendicular update callback: when the checkbox is
toggled, iterates all selected dimension annotations, writes the new
ForcePerpendicularToFace value to each BBIM_Dimension pset, and calls
regenerate_dimension so the constraint is applied immediately

SetDimensionAnchor — hover-select-then-confirm:
- Cursor highlights candidate IFC elements (orange Blender selection outline)
before committing; Tab cycles through overlapping/coplanar candidates
- _compute_candidates: ray-cast all IFC mesh objects; falls back to 2D
bounding-box proximity (5 cm tolerance) for plan-view picks where the
ray misses the mesh by sub-mm amounts
- _write_anchor: after anchoring a face, immediately calls
regenerate_dimension with placement_override (Blender matrix_world)
and _update_blender_curve so the curve vertex moves to the resolved point
DrawParametricDimension — ForcePerpendicularToFace live snap constraint:
- Reads force_perpendicular_to_face toggle from annotation props on invoke
- After anchor[0] is placed on a FACE, _update_perp_constraint extracts
the face normal and stores it as the constraint axis
- _apply_perp_constraint runs every modal tick after handle_snap_selection,
projecting the current snap point onto pt[0] + t*normal
- On finalize, _create_dimension_from_polyline writes ForcePerpendicularToFace
to the BBIM_Dimension pset and calls regenerate_dimension to snap the
stored curve to the constraint before the operator exits
regenerate_dimension.py:
- ForcePerpendicularToFace block: after resolving all anchors, projects
vertices 1…n onto the line through pt[0] along anchor[0]'s face normal
- _get_anchor_face_normal_world: reads normal_local from anchor fingerprint,
calls _rotate_local_to_world with placement_override; falls back to stored
world-space normal
resolve_anchor.py:
- _rotate_local_to_world: transforms an element-local direction vector to
world space using the element's placement or placement_override matrix
pset/operator.py:
- EditPset._execute: after editing a BBIM_Dimension pset on an IfcAnnotation,
auto-calls regenerate_dimension + _update_blender_curve so changes to
anchors/ForcePerpendicularToFace are reflected immediately in the viewport
prop.py / workspace.py:
- Added force_perpendicular_to_face BoolProperty to BIMAnnotationProperties
- UI toggle shown in annotation tool header for DIMENSION/RADIUS/DIAMETER/
ANGLE/PLAN_LEVEL/SECTION_LEVEL types
Psets_BBIM_Annotation.ifc:
- Added ForcePerpendicularToFace property template (#39) to BBIM_Dimension
- Extended BBIM_Dimension applicability to ANGLE, PLAN_LEVEL, SECTION_LEVEL

Extends parametric dimension support with a modal polyline operator that uses
Bonsai's existing snap infrastructure (same as walls/slabs) for placing anchor
points. Shift+A in the Annotation tool now routes dimension types through this
operator instead of the generic add_annotation path.
- DrawParametricDimension: PolylineOperator subclass; each confirmed snap point
is converted to a BBIM_DimensionTarget anchor via _snap_to_anchor, which reads
face_index from the snap dict for face hits and falls back to closest_point_on_mesh
for vertex/edge hits
- handle_inserting_polyline override tracks anchor list in sync with polyline
points (insert on count increase, pop on BACKSPACE)
- hotkey_S_A dispatches to bim.draw_parametric_dimension for DIMENSION/RADIUS/
DIAMETER/ANGLE/PLAN_LEVEL/SECTION_LEVEL types; all other types keep existing path
- depsgraph_update_post_handler extended to also watch is_updated_geometry so
dimensions auto-regenerate when a referenced mesh is edited in Edit Mode; the
affected element's tessellation is evicted from _dim_shape_cache so resolve_anchor
re-tessellates from the updated IFC representation on the next pass

New modal operator (bim.set_dimension_anchor) anchors dimension vertices
to IFC element faces. Anchors are stored as JSON in a BBIM_DimensionTarget
pset on the IfcAnnotation and resolved via tessellation at regeneration time.
- resolve_anchor.py / regenerate_dimension.py: new ifcopenshell API modules
- bim.set_dimension_anchor: 2-phase Object Mode modal (pick vertex → pick face)
- bim.regenerate_dimensions: recomputes all parametric dimensions
- Auto-regeneration via depsgraph_update_post when referenced elements move
- placement_override reads Blender matrix_world for G-moved elements
- Plan-view annotations flattened to annotation plane (Z=0 in local space)
- IfcIndexedPolyCurve.Segments rebuilt to handle n-point chains correctly
The x-angle transformation for LAYER3 slabs assumed SweptArea
is always IfcArbitraryClosedProfileDef (which has OuterCurve),
but composite profiles use IfcCompositeProfileDef instead.
Apply the coord scaling to each sub-profile individually.

generate_section_reference_points had no handler for
MODEL_VIEW target view, causing it to silently return
None. Add MODEL_VIEW branch that clips the section line
to XY camera bounds while preserving the Z coordinate
for correct 3D placement.

Guard the int() cast on CardinalPoint in
BIM_OT_edit_assigned_material so a None value (no cardinal
point set) no longer raises a TypeError.
