The public 3D and Materials panel options list Depth, Twist, Taper and Cap
for every 3D type; Inflate had only Depth.
- Twist (0° to 360°) and Taper (1–100 %) turn and scale the back about the
shape's centre, as Extrude & Bevel's do: a puffed back is turned and
lowered in proportion, and the sides follow in slices.
- Cap: Solid closes the back; Hollow leaves it off, so the inflated front is
a shell open behind. The documentation doesn't say what Cap means for
Inflate; this reading is stated in docs/three-d.md.
- The dialog's Object tab shows them in the documented order (Depth, Twist,
Taper, Cap), then Volume and Both sides.
At 0 % volume a twisted, tapered Inflate has the extrusion's outline from
every side (tested).
A twisted, tapered, hollow Inflate draws on the canvas exactly as it
exports, and expands to faces with their own ids (tested). ROADMAP and the
parity pages list the new options; the 3D score stays at ~25 %.
The three 3D types besides Revolve, as live effects in the three-d crate,
drawn as shaded vector faces by the canvas, SVG/PDF export and Expand
Appearance alike, from the public 3D and Materials documentation:
- Extrude & Bevel: depth (0-2000 pt), twist, taper, solid or hollow caps,
and bevels in six original cross-sections (classic, rounded, cove, step,
ogee) with width, height, repeat, spacing, inside and both sides.
- Inflate: the shape as a membrane under pressure (a Poisson solve held at
zero along the outline and holes), so it rises vertically from the edge
and rounds without creases; volume, depth and both sides. Steep cells
near the outline are refined without cracks.
- Rotate: every fill and stroke turned in 3D and shaded as one plane.
All three share Revolve's view and lighting parameters, the rotation and
light gizmos (turning about the art's centre) and a dialog with Object,
Rotation and Lighting tabs, with Position presets (Front ... Isometric
Bottom, our own values). An object takes one 3D effect. Inflate cuts the
grid cells that straddle a hole's edge with pathops, hence the new
pathops -> three-d layer order.
Docs: docs/three-d.md, mcp.md, and the 3D rows of the parity docs.
Rarely set fields move into one optional boxed NodeExtras, and large NodeKind payloads (images,
live shapes, blends, envelopes) are boxed. Every object, and every undo step that copies it,
shrinks: a 50k-path move keeps ~24.5 MB per step instead of ~40 MB. Files stay byte-identical
(Node keeps its flat JSON through a borrowed Serialize and a from-wire Deserialize, no flatten),
and loading is slightly faster. Undo and redo reuse their step's size estimate instead of
walking the document again (8.3 -> 5.6 ms for a 50k-path move).

The Links panel lists every image (thumbnail, name, page, missing/modified/embedded
badge) with Show filters, sorting and thumbnail sizes; its buttons and flyout relink
(to a file or a folder), go to, update, edit the original, embed and unembed, show in
folder and open Placement Options. Link Info shows format, colour space, location, ppi
and effective ppi, dimensions, scale, rotation, size and dates. Edit > Edit Original
and the Properties panel's image section reach the same commands.
Engine: links.list, links.goTo, links.embed, links.unembed, links.info and
links.placementOptions; links.relink and links.update now place the new file as the
image's Placement Options say (transforms, bounds, file dimensions, fit, fill, the
alignment point, clip to the old bounds). Model: ImageObject.placement.
UI: links.editOriginal, links.reveal, ui.placementOptionsDialog; Services.open_file
and pick_folder on the desktop.

A linked image (`ImageObject.link`, now a LinkInfo: absolute path, path relative to the document,
size, modification time, hash, page; old path strings still load) keeps a low-resolution preview
(`ImageBlob.proxy`, at most 256 px a side) that a native save writes in place of the pixels of
images only linked images show. Opening a native document reads the linked files again, looking
for each at its path, then relative to the document and by name in its folder: missing files
show their preview, modified ones are read again only with Update Links: Automatically.
`document.open` reports `missingLinks`, `modifiedLinks` and `updatedLinks`.
links.check reports each link's status, links.update reads modified files again and
links.relink points images at another file or at same-named files in a folder (each keeps its
bounds; one undo step). In the app, a document opened without its linked files asks about each
(Replace…, Ignore, Apply to All), then offers to update modified links when the preference asks.
The renderer caches previews apart from the file's pixels; the Eyedropper samples previews in
the object's pixel space.

Geometry effects reach objects that aren't paths through their outlines (vectorcraft_effects::
reshape: glyph outlines, evaluated live art, the symbol's art, an image clipped by its reshaped
frame), applied to the whole art as one piece; the renderer caches that art per object and
paints raster effects around it in the same filter layers paths use (shared Renderer::raster_fx,
also used per fill/stroke). Exports bake the reshaped art; SVG writes per-item filters; PDF
warns about raster effects on strokes as well as fills and objects.
