boundary layer onto the surface (B1.1, Schneiders 1996).

2. Read the plan before applying it:

layers along fillets, chamfers and shell walls) is the target; `cells`/`sweep` is the

- `rings`: centre, radius, frame half-side. Frames should be near square with even margins.
- `cuts`: each with its feature and reason.
- `notes`: why the body did not fit the projection layout.
