Thin Extrude builds walls of a set thickness along sketch curves, open chains and closed loops, with the wall centred, inside, outside or on both sides at two thicknesses. Saved under format 20 (thin on an Extrude); an extrude without thin saves as before. Closes#721.
Sketch Mirror, rectangular and circular Pattern, and Offset now show a green live preview that follows the selection and settings; OK commits, Cancel leaves the sketch unchanged. The shared dialogs show the current selection step and source counts, sources can be toggled with Ctrl/Cmd-click, cleared and reselected.
Offsets keep editable driving distance dimensions (One Side, Two Sides, Symmetric) that update the derived curves without moving the source, with undo/redo and save/reopen. Format 19: older files keep their fixed offsets.
New dialog labels in en, zh, ja, de and ko.
Fixes#696. Fixes#517.
A design with components and joints exports as a URDF robot description (file.export to .urdf, the MCP export tool, solidcraft-cli run --out, File > Export URDF...). It writes one binary STL per component in metres, links with mass, centre of mass and inertia from material density, and maps rigid, revolute, slider, cylindrical, pin-slot, planar and ball joints to URDF joints or short chains. Loops, broken joints and loose parts are reported as warnings. Options: mesh_prefix, effort, velocity. Docs in docs/urdf.md.
A sketch text gets an optional style: bold and italic faces (a slanted fallback for italic), left/center/right alignment, letter and line spacing, and a path curve of the same sketch for the baseline to follow (reverse takes the other side). Edit Text gets B/I toggles, alignment, spacing fields and a Path chip, all live. The style is saved only when not plain and is noted under format 18.
A sketch's link to a projected edge now keeps the edge's persistent name and finds it by that name when the body changes, instead of taking whichever edge ends up nearest its point.
Convert to Sheet Metal now takes a solid or a shelled body by its bend edges (`bends`): the faces reached from the fixed face across those edges become the sheet, keeping the part's envelope, with the flat pattern by the rule's K-factor and radius. Other edges between sheet faces are cut open. The result works with edge flanges, cuts, Unfold/Refold, the flat pattern and DXF. A conversion without `bends` is the plate conversion as before. The optional `bends` field is noted under format 17. Fixes#647.

0.8.0 shipped format 16. Lineage names of a piece qualified by the faces around it, and sheet face names of a rim (rim.<edge>) or a bend end (rim.bend0/1), now come under format 17. Format 16 designs need no transformation, and the version stamp makes 0.8.0 ask for an update.

A save with cache: true also stores a small bounded PNG thumbnail (240 × 150, at most 256 KiB, keyed to the exact document) made from cached meshes only. Home uses it when its local picture is missing, without rebuilding the design; ordinary saves and downloads still omit it. Closes#303.

A design can define its own physical materials (material.create, material.edit, material.delete): name, density and an optional look. They work everywhere built-in materials do: assignment, mass properties, colours and configuration cells. Stored in user_materials, an additive field under format 16. Un-ignores the #554 regression test. Fixes#532.

Refs #303. file.save / file.save_as can store a warm native geometry cache (cache: true, off by default) keyed to the document hash, app version and adapter revision. Opening shows a bounded preview from it until the rebuilt session replaces it. Any cache failure counts as a miss.
sketch.text and sketch.edit_text take an optional font: an installed family or a .ttf/.otf/.ttc file. Edit Text gets a Font field. The font is kept with the text under format 16; no fonts are bundled, and the font search is bounded.
Fixes#513

Sheet Metal Rules get a Corner Relief Shape (notch, round or rectangular), sized by the rule's corner relief, cut where two bends meet at a corner of the base. Notch, the default, keeps existing designs as they were. File format 16.

* Sketch on a cylinder primitive's caps (#420)
A solid.cylinder's caps carried no construction certificate, so a sketch
on its top or bottom was refused unless fixed:true (#420's crossed
cylinders, built from primitives).
- kernel: FaceSource::CylinderCap { producer, high, plane };
Body::with_cylinder_certificate turns a cylinder's two extrude caps into
certified caps. kernel::cylinder's output is unchanged for its other
callers.
- doc: FaceCertificate::CylinderCap { high }, named F<id>:top / F<id>:bottom
as the cylinder's face names already are; New Body and Join cylinders
are certified, shells carry it as their planar source.
- format 15: designs can store the new certificate kind; version 14
designs need no change, and older builds ask for an update instead of
meeting an unknown kind.
Tests: top and bottom attachments follow a height and base edit and a
reopen; crossed joined cylinders keep both caps attachable; a shelled
cylinder's floor keeps its cap identity; malformed certificate JSON is
refused.

Record ownership transfers in the timeline so earlier Join/Cut membership,
world placement, machining data and styles survive component moves, edits,
independent copying, undo and reopening. Preserve pending positions in history
snapshots and keep constructor transfers ordered during feature redefinition.
Retain shallow sheet pockets and exact planar intersection islands through
unfold/refold, with depth-aware flat previews and DXF export. Store explicit
3D wire coordinate spaces and migrate known legacy provenance without moving
saved points or analytic fits.
Infer unique eligible cylindrical Emboss targets, align Revolve manipulators
with actual extent geometry, and discard obsolete preview errors after input
correction. Certify constructed and immutable imported face styles using exact
source metadata while preserving legacy face names. Upgrade designs to format10
with bounded validation and geometry-preserving legacy migration.
An mdBook under docs/book: a user guide (getting started, UI tour, sketching, features,
parameters, components and joints, sheet metal, plastic, files, shortcuts, MCP) and a developer
guide (CONTRIBUTING, architecture, command engine, kernel boundary, persistent naming, test
harnesses, and the existing docs/*.md pages). `cargo xtask book` generates the command reference
from `solvecraft-cli commands` and renders the screenshots with `solvecraft-cli snapshot`, then
runs mdbook. .github/workflows/pages.yml publishes the book at /solvecraft/ and the web app at
/solvecraft/app/ (skipped while the repository is private). .github/workflows/ci.yml runs
`cargo xtask ci` on pull requests. README and Help → Documentation link to the book.
