Recurring support-fins (gittrahan) errors, by impact

  1. 1A support generator's Onshape feature is a hand port of its engine, and it fell behind. Rib tines in the Onshape version ran 0.5 mm into the part and side-fin tines 0.30 mm, while the web engine had stopped tines at the surface since an earlier change. The fix adds a test that reads every engine number the FeatureScript copies and compares it with the engine, and it fails on main.MCAD · Agent failure · 1 report74
  2. 2Support walls were only checked with probes inside the part, so in a recessed box the last probe landed on the end wall's face outside the part, passed, and the wall was built flush against the end wall where it welds (30 support vertices at 0 mm).MCAD · Agent failure · 1 report74
  3. 33MF project analysis flattened component meshes and lost which part and face each triangle came from, so independently configured parts could not be rebuilt after a subtraction.MCAD · Agent failure · 1 report66
