Dion Moult 8173074050 wgpu: section cutting tool — K hotkey, click-to-add, drag arrow, Esc/Del
Mirrors GL ViewportWindow's section tool end-to-end.

Hotkeys

  K            toggle the tool active
  Shift+K      clearSectionPlanes
  Esc          deactivate the tool
  Del/Bksp     remove the most recently added plane (tool-active only)
  LMB click    pickSurfaceAt → addSectionPlaneAtSurface (no modifier)
  LMB drag    on the arrow gizmo: slide the plane along its normal

State

FrameUniforms grows by clip_count (i32) + clip_planes[6] (vec4). The
six-plane cap matches GL's MaxSectionPlanes. WGSL pads via three
scalar i32s instead of a vec3<i32> so the array starts at offset 144
to match the tightly-packed C++ struct (240 B) — vec3 would have
forced clip_planes to 160 and broken the binding-size match.

is_section_clipped(world) in WGSL evaluates all active planes and
returns true if any signals "on the positive side". Both main and
pick fragments discard with it so cuts are visible AND selection is
consistent — you can't pick something the user can't see.

Surface pick

Pick pass now emits 2 color targets: R32UInt object_id at @location(0)
and RGBA16F packed world-space normal at @location(1). Normal is
packed × 0.5 + 0.5 so unsigned-ish halfs keep the sign. pickSurfaceAt
reads both via 1×1 texel copies (RGBA16F is a color format with no
full-mip restriction, unlike Depth32Float). World position comes from
ray-AABB intersection against the picked instance's AABB — equally
accurate for "drop a plane where I clicked" and dodges the Depth32Float
copy-extent rule entirely. The pick normal is decoded into the
per-fragment surface normal so the plane lands perpendicular to the
actual triangle (not the AABB face).

Plane gizmo

Identical geometry to GL's renderSectionPlanes: 2×2 m quad outline
(white) + 1 m arrow shaft along +n (yellow-orange) + 4 arrow-head
diagonals. Drawn inside the main MSAA pass with depth LessEqual + no
depth write. Lines are rendered as screen-space-expanded thick quads
with fwidth-based AA, same technique the axis indicator uses, so the
gizmo reads against busy BIM geometry rather than disappearing as
1-px hairlines.

Drag

mousePressEvent claims a plain-LMB press if it hits an arrow gizmo
(12 logical-px grab radius, distance to the (origin, origin+n)
screen-space segment). The drag handler projects the cursor delta
onto the screen-space axis and converts to metres via
delta·axis / |axis|² — same formula GL uses. Mid-drag camera moves
keep working because the projection re-runs every frame against the
press-time origin.

Closes the click-to-add + drag halves of #30 / #60.

IfcOpenShell

IfcOpenShell is an open source (LGPL) software library for working with Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). Complete parsing support is provided for IFC2x3 TC1, IFC4 Add2 TC1, IFC4x1, IFC4x2, and IFC4x3 Add2. Extensive geometric support is implemented for the IFC releases IFC2x3 TC1 and IFC4 Add2 TC1. Extending with support for arbitrary IFC schemas is possible at compile-time when using C++ and at run-time when using Python.

In addition to a C++ and Python API, IfcOpenShell comes with an ecosystem of tools, notably including IfcConvert (an application to convert IFC models to other formats), Bonsai (an add-on to Blender providing a graphical IFC authoring platform), and many other libraries, CLI apps, and more. Support is also provided for auxiliary standards such as BCF and IDS.
