Length tool's 1-pt laser is now hybrid:
- On any surface, a coplanar BFS finds the connected face patch
around the click and projects its vertices into the surface
tangent basis to get an exact bounding-box extent. Stops at
the face edge by construction — no overshoot into adjacent
geometry like the previous tangent-raycast did.
- On near-horizontal surfaces (|n.z| > 0.85, i.e. floors and
ceilings) it additionally fires one raycast in +n to the
opposing surface — so a single floor click reports X extent +
Y extent + ceiling height.
- Bars are labelled by their dominant world axis (X/Y/Z) instead
of "vertical/horizontal", which reads cleanly on either kind
of surface.
The 2-pt readout now draws the world-space XYZ stair-step (red ΔX,
green ΔY, blue ΔZ) with each leg labelled, and a dashed
perpendicular line whenever the two picks landed on near-parallel
surfaces — useful for measuring across walls.
To support multiple line styles per frame, OverlayRenderer's
setOverlayLines takes std::vector<LineGroup> instead of a single
inline style; each group has its own color/halo/width and an
optional dash period. The line shader gained v_along_px +
u_dash_period uniforms (screen-space dashes), and both line and
point shaders now use a sharp step() for the inner→stroke
transition with AA only on the outer halo edge — much crisper than
the previous soft band. Default visual style trimmed: 1.5px lines
(0.5px halo), 6px dots (1px halo), opaque black halo.
Also adds ViewportWindow::raycast(origin, dir, RaycastHit&) — CPU
ray traversal of each model's per-instance BVH followed by
Möller-Trumbore against the candidate meshes' triangles (lazily
read back, cached per call). Used by the floor/ceiling laser path
today and reusable for any future raycast-based feature.

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.
