Tool scope
| Area | Action | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Part | Create Structured Part | Creates the Source–Work shared-mesh structure. |
| Part | Create Part Instance | Creates a movable instance of the Part source collection. |
| Combi | Create Combi | Keeps the visible Source group in place and creates an independent result at global X +1 m. |
| Combi | Duplicate Combi Instance | Creates another freely movable result instance. |
| Combi | Select Source Control (SSC) | Selects the matching Source controller from one or more selected members or result instances. |
Source independence contract
- Move or rotate
SOURCE_COMBI__<ID>to transform the visible Source group only. - Derived Combi Instances do not follow the Source controller transform.
- Local transforms of visible member objects propagate through hidden definition members to every derived instance.
- SSC resolves and selects the correct Source controller without requiring Outliner navigation.
Validation
- Blender 5.2 registration and panel integration verified.
- Source-controller movement independence verified numerically.
- Local member transform propagation verified numerically.
- SSC verified from a work member, a result instance and the controller itself.
