This time we mostly focused on improving the quality of our @bitbybit-dev/occt layer. Offsets were extended to support adding face for guidance.

New improvements in quality should bring more piece to developers.

Offset with the face

bitbybit.occt.operations.offset
The inputs now take additional face for guidance. Sometimes it is necessary to provide a face to guide the offset as various kinds of geometrical situations can prove hard for algorithm to guess the right solution.
bitbybit.occt.operations.offsetAdv
This algorithm now also takes face for guidance. It is an alternative method that have more customizations exposed through it's inputs.

Unit Tests And Refactoring

We have been working on improving the quality of our core codebase by adding new unit tests and restructuring the code in the @bitbybit-dev/occt layer. Check out this blog post to learn more about that:
