a71de82ccb nodes: add MEP movement controls and DWV parity (#438)
* Add roof surface placement support for items

Items (e.g. solar panels) can now be placed on sloped roof surfaces.
The placement system computes euler rotation from the roof surface
normal so items sit flush on the slope instead of going inside.

- Add roofStrategy to placement-strategies with enter/move/click/leave
- Wire roof:enter/move/click/leave events in the placement coordinator
- Add calculateRoofRotation in placement-math using surface normals
- Support full 3D cursor rotation for sloped surfaces
- Items on roofs are parented to the level with world-space rotation

* fixed conflict

* feat(duct): ceiling-snap drawing + connected-joint endpoint move

Duct draw tool's ceiling mode now hangs each path point just below the
ceiling actually covering it (per-room heights tracked), with a
translucent surface highlight and a plumb line to the floor so the
in-flight point reads clearly from any angle.

Dragging a duct corner that sits on a fitting now carries the fitting's
other ducts along (port-connectivity second hop), so the joint moves
together instead of tearing apart.

* feat(mep): detach + vertical modifiers for duct/pipe joint editing

Alt detaches a dragged duct/pipe endpoint or fitting from its connected
joint (no elbow re-aim, no connectivity follow); Ctrl/Cmd drives vertical
riser movement on the fitting move. Behavioral parity across 2D and 3D.

* feat(mep): full DWV pipe parity for joint editing

Bring pipe-segment endpoint drags and pipe-fitting moves to parity with
duct: free-drag endpoints, Alt-detach, Ctrl/Cmd-vertical riser, elbow
re-aim, and connectivity follow. Generalizes the shared elbow-reaim and
auto-fitting helpers to dispatch by run kind so 2D and 3D share one path.

* feat(mep): wall-style arrow handles for duct fittings + segments

Add violet directional arrow affordances to duct-fitting selection (height,
move cross, rotate arc) mirroring the duct-segment rig: portaled into the
parent frame to stay out of the selection outline, rendered via the shared
HandleArrow, and carrying mated-run connectivity through the single-undo
dance. The move cross engages press-drag-release (placementDragMode) the same
way the floating drag does, so the markup hit-areas go inert and the fitting
move tool commits on pointer-up.

Also re-export the HandleArrow primitives from @pascal-app/editor and extend
the duct-segment side-move/floorplan affordances.

* feat(mep): click-to-latch cube handles for duct + fitting editing

Replace the hover-reveal / multi-handle selection rigs with a single
click-to-latch cube that opens a directional cluster, shared between
duct segments and fittings via a new selection-handles module
(HandleCube / MoveChevron / RotateArc, all sized to the roof pitch cube).

- Duct segment: per-vertex + run-center cubes reveal axis-locked move
  chevrons (down arrow always shown), plus a roll arc at the run center.
- Duct fitting: center cube reveals six ±XYZ move arrows and three
  per-axis rotation arcs (oriented in place), replacing the old
  height/move/rotate trio with axis-cycling.
- Rotation (fitting arcs + duct roll) snaps to 45° steps; Shift = smooth.
- thin chevron profile + press-drag-release commit retained.

* fix(mep): orient duct roll arc consistently + drop Ctrl-vertical drag

Build a fully-determined basis for the duct roll gizmo so the curved
arrow always seats at the top-outer 45° corner regardless of run
direction, instead of an arbitrary apex from a single setFromUnitVectors.
The selection-rig ±Y arrows now own vertical movement, so the redundant
Ctrl-modifier riser drag is removed from the fitting move tool.

* feat(mep): run-aligned duct handles, swing snapping, elbow flatten

Align the duct run-center cube + horizontal arrows to the run axis
(matching the per-vertex handles) while keeping whole-run translate.
Endpoint side / up-down swing arrows now follow grid snap points and
port-snap onto nearby collars (Shift sweeps smoothly). Relax elbow
realign + fitting schemas to flatten to a straight 0° coupling. Surface
HVAC-specific hints in the select-mode helper panel for duct / fitting.

* feat(mep): per-segment linesets/liquid-lines with joint-follow editing

Linesets and liquid lines now commit one independent two-point node per
drawn segment instead of folding into a single mitered polyline, so each
line selects and deletes on its own. Endpoint caps fill shared-coordinate
joints so connected segments still read as continuous pipe.

Dragging a shared endpoint carries mated segments along via port
connectivity (Alt detaches), so a run still edits as one welded piece.
Liquid-line follow mode traces the whole connected lineset run, laying a
per-segment parallel line down its full assembled length.

* feat(mep): vertical-offset auto-routing on duct center-cube ±Y drag

Lifting/lowering a connected run with the run-center cube now keeps each
connected end welded to its stationary partner instead of dragging the
whole network. Run-to-run ends get the classic S/Z offset (two elbows +
plumb riser, partner trimmed back one leg); elbow-connected ends form a
clean L — the existing elbow stays put and re-aims its collar vertical,
with one new top elbow + riser reconnecting to the lifted endpoint. The
offset is ghosted live and minted as a single undo step on release.

* Add roof accessory placement guides

Measure roof accessory placement against the active roof face using visible surface bounds and preview geometry footprints. Add dormer-local guides and special linear handling for ridge vents and gutters.

* Improve duct and placement routing

* Fix duct vertical movement routing

* Fix duct vertical offsets and roof accessory movement

* Add DWV movement parity and line endpoint controls

* Fix MEP handle review issues

* Fix chimney placement and duct offset cleanup

* Use snapped targets for roof accessory commits

* fix(nodes): repair MEP movement review issues

- auto-fitting: tee branch now follows the drawn lateral angle; update the
  stale square-tee test + doc comment that contradicted the rewrite
- duct-segment: re-enable the vertical auto-offset rewind (the disabled stub
  left mintedIds empty, so re-dragging a tagged duct stranded old elbows/risers
  and stacked duplicates); remove the dead stub
- duct-segment: strip the stale auto-offset tag on manual corner/roll commits
  so the horizontal-move path no longer trusts an out-of-date base
- chimney: resume history before mutating segment children arrays so a
  cross-segment move reparents in one tracked transaction (undo stays consistent)
- dormer: align schema test with the new windowSill=false default

* fix: address mep movement review issues

* fix: address follow-up mep review comments

* fix: address additional mep review comments

IFC → Pascal Converter

A web app that converts IFC building models into Pascal scene-graph JSON and previews the result in the real @pascal-app/viewer. Drop in an .ifc file (or pick a bundled example), inspect what was extracted, and download the JSON to load into the Pascal editor.

⚠️ Early alpha

This converter is in early alpha. IFC is a sprawling, loosely-followed standard and real-world exports vary wildly — so expect rough edges: misplaced or missing elements, walls that default to a fixed height when their geometry can't be read, items skipped entirely, and element types that aren't mapped yet. The output is meant for previewing and iterating, not production.

Contributions very welcome — if you hit a file that converts badly, a sample IFC + a note on what's wrong is hugely helpful, and PRs improving the conversion (better geometry extraction, more element types, edge-case handling) are exactly what this needs. Jump in. 🙏

How it works

  • @pascal-app/ifc-converter (packages/ifc-converter) — the pure conversion logic. Parses IFC via web-ifc, maps elements onto Pascal node schemas from @pascal-app/core. No DOM, no React.
  • This app — the UI: drop zone, example picker, element search/filters, the 3D preview, and JSON download.

Develop

bun dev   # from this directory, or `turbo run dev` at the repo root

The web-ifc.wasm binary is copied into public/ automatically on install/dev/build (scripts/copy-web-ifc-wasm.mjs). Large example IFCs are fetched from a public bucket at runtime; the small ones are committed under public/test-ifc-files/. Override the bucket with NEXT_PUBLIC_IFC_EXAMPLES_BASE_URL.

Known limitations (help wanted)

  • Plain IFCWALL (Brep/mapped geometry) falls back to a default height — exact per-wall heights need geometry-AABB extraction.
  • Items (furniture, etc.) are skipped — Pascal items require a catalog asset.
  • Beams have no Pascal node type yet and are skipped.
  • Doors/windows are matched to walls by proximity when the IFC omits fill relationships; matching isn't perfect.
  • Stairs/roofs are placeholders (bounding box / flat polygon in metadata).
