Key Features

1. Real-Time Surface Highlighting & Plane Snapping

• Instant Visual Feedback: Hovering over any 3D model highlights coplanar faces and calculates surface coordinates on the fly.
• Color-Coded Operation Modes:
• • 🟠 Coral Orange: Cut (Difference) mode
  • 🟢 Mint Emerald: Merge (Union) mode
  • 🔵 Electric Cyan: Interactive Slice / Bisect mode
• Vibrant Perimeter Outline: Highlights the exact boundary of the active face so you never cut past your edges.
• Plane Lock (L Key): Lock the active plane with one keypress to keep stamping and sliding seamlessly even outside the object's physical mesh perimeter.

2. Object-Locked Grid with Defined Center Zone

• Zero Drift Coordinate Frame: Grid origin and (U,V)(U,V) axes lock directly to your object's local orientation. View rotations and camera orbits never disorient your grid.
• Surface-Fitted Boundaries: Dots and grid lines are strictly clipped to surface boundaries — zero overshooting or floating geometry.
• Defined Center Zone Line: High-contrast, bold UU & VV center axis lines and an accented center origin node make finding and centering shapes effortless.
• Target Reticle Snapping: Snaps smoothly to nearest grid dots with a luminous gold placement reticle.
• Dot Map vs. Grid Lines: Toggle between a discrete laser dot matrix or full CAD grid lines with a single click.

3. Full 3-Axis Precision Rotation & Angle Snapping

• True 3D Freedom: Rotate cutters around all 3 axes:
• • Z-Axis (Normal): Yaw / spin flat on the surface plane.
  • X-Axis (Surface U): Pitch / tilt along the horizontal plane axis.
  • Y-Axis (Surface V): Roll / tilt along the vertical plane axis.
• Dedicated Angle Snap Selector: Switch instantly between:
• • Free Rotation (1° smooth increments / 0.5° micro-nudge with Shift)
  • 5° | 15° | 30° | 45° | 90° right-angle snapping
• Quick Shortcuts: Cycle axes with R, cycle snap angles with Shift + R, or scroll your mouse wheel.

4. Procedural Primitives + Custom Shape Library

• Built-in Procedural Profiles: Circle, Square, Rectangle, Slot (Capsule/Stadium), Hexagon, Equilateral Triangle, 5-Point Star, and Cross / Plus.
• Capture Any Object as a Custom Shape: Select any Mesh, Bézier Curve, or 3D Text object in your scene and save it to your permanent shape library with one click.
• Quick-Switch Hotkeys: Press 1 – 7 to switch punch shapes instantly during live placement.

5. Micro-to-Macro Unit Engine (μm→mμm→m)

• Native support for four physical engineering scales:
• • Micrometers (μmμm): Micro-fluidics, semiconductor dies, precision watchmaking (1μm=10−6m1μm=10−6m)
  • Millimeters (mmmm): Standard CAD, CNC machining, and 3D printing
  • Centimeters (cmcm): Product design & consumer electronics
  • Meters (mm): Architectural fabrication & environment props
• Dynamic unit rescaling preserves physical geometry when toggling active units.

6. Follow Edge Mode & Pattern Arrays

• Follow Edge Pattern: Automatically detects connected outer border edges and stamps aligned cutters along 1 to 64 consecutive perimeter edges. Customizable edge position slider (0–100%), inward edge inset, and tangent alignment.
• Linear Matrix Array: Multi-cut grid (U×VU×V counts and spacing).
• Radial Array: Circular bolt/port patterns with customizable radius, count, and sweep angle.
• All array instances combine into a single watertight cutter executed in one seamless boolean operation.

7. Interactive Bisect & Slicer

• Press Tab to switch to Slice mode.
• Interactively bisect meshes along any axis with live preview.
• Adjust cut gap spacing, offset along normal, and toggle watertight cap generation.
• Separate positive or negative halves with a single click.
