Rosette Designer

Recommended test

Open CAD → Tools → Rosette designer, then check the first complete design loop.

1. Paint several cells with different veneer colours. Drag while painting and confirm each crossed cell updates.
2. Add a veneer strip inside and outside the mosaic. Confirm both appear as separate measured layers without overlap.
3. Add a mosaic inside and outside the selected layer. Paint different patterns in each and confirm selecting a row restores that band's independent editor and calculations.
4. Use the small copy icon before a mosaic row's up/down controls. Confirm the duplicate appears directly outside it and becomes selected, then edit the copy and confirm the original remains unchanged.
5. Select a strip, change its material and width, then duplicate and reorder it. Confirm the full preview follows the stack order immediately. Unselected veneers should use their exact filled width without a perimeter stroke; the selected strip should receive only a thin amber outline clipped inside its geometry.
6. Delete the mosaic while strips remain and confirm a veneer-only rosette still previews. Use Add mosaic band to restore the tile editor.
7. Try Erase, Fill, and Pick. Pick should select a cell's material and return to Paint.
8. Right-click a tile, choose Replace all matching tiles, then select another veneer colour. Every tile using the clicked colour should change together as one undoable edit.
9. Click a veneer swatch in the Band stack and choose a material to update that strip immediately. Right-click a veneer row and use Replace all matching veneers; only veneer strips with that colour should change, while mosaic cells remain untouched.
10. Use the header Undo and Redo buttons. Confirm tile edits and dimension changes restore predictably without affecting CAD history.
11. Change rows or columns. Existing cells should remain at the upper-left and new cells should use light veneer.
12. Set a non-square grid such as 15 columns by 9 rows. With equal cell width and height, confirm every editor cell remains square and the editor adopts the tile's wider physical proportion.
13. Change cell width or height. Confirm the circular preview and taper values update immediately in millimetres.
14. Switch between Auto and Manual tile count and confirm the current fitted count carries across without blanking the preview. Reduce Manual repeats by two and confirm one unchanged tile disappears from each side of the opening rather than the remaining tiles stretching.
15. Change the tile width while Manual is active and confirm the count is capped to the number of unchanged tiles that physically fit.
16. While Manual is active, increase the Gap target and confirm it remains editable and lowers the maximum repeat count when necessary.
17. Switch between Slip and Book match. Book match should reverse every second installed tile.
18. Change the soundhole or mosaic diameter. Confirm invalid overlap produces a clear warning instead of a broken preview.
19. Move the Outer gap target slider from its 20 mm default. Confirm the complete band stack ends on two clean, outlined radial wedge cuts and the requested width is measured across the widest outer edge. Between those ends, confirm the normally hidden full-circle routed channel retains almost the same spruce floor texture while restrained shadows along its inner, outer, and tapered walls suggest a 2 mm-deep groove. The installed rosette itself should remain unshaded. In Auto, confirm the two clipped end tiles are counted as whole repeats. In Manual, confirm the same target remains the maximum tile-count boundary. At 0 mm, confirm the small physical residual is reported instead of stretching tiles to force closure.
20. In Live Installation, use the quiet eye button to hide and restore the amber active-band outline. Normal band boundaries should remain visible.
21. Use the ruler button beside the eye. Confirm every arrowhead body stays inside its measured span while its tip points outward toward the measured boundary. One Outer gap dimension should span only the widest opening between the two outer wedge endpoints. The soundhole diameter should run through its centre with a centre tick and its value above the line; the soundhole-plus-lip diameter should use the same clean line style just below it without long endpoint extensions. The lip label should sit just inside the soundhole beside its short radial arrow. The remaining arrows should identify the full rosette outer diameter and total radial rosette width. Zoom and pan and confirm the measurements remain attached to the model.
22. Use the image button beside the ruler and eye to enable the soundboard background. Confirm the small Spruce and Cedar text links appear below it and switch the centred texture immediately. Both grain photographs should keep the same physical model scale while zooming and panning; the lip should show wood, the soundhole should remain solid black, and the technical grid should stay hidden. Toggle the image button off and confirm both links disappear and the dark gridded background returns.
23. Zoom with the wheel around the pointer, drag with the left or middle mouse button to pan, then use Fit to restore the complete ring.
24. Edit the rosette name and confirm the amber unsaved dot appears. Use Save and confirm a `.cadiv-rosette` file is created.
25. Change a cell, use Save As, then use Open to reload either file. Confirm every band, material, cell, dimension, repeat mode, count, and opening setting returns exactly.
26. Try opening a renamed JSON file or damaged rosette file. Confirm validation reports the problem and the current design is not replaced.
27. Close and reopen the designer. The current in-app draft should remain available.
28. Return to CAD, select a soundhole circle, then choose Tools → Place rosette and open the saved design. Confirm the ghost is centred on the circle, reports a diameter mismatch when appropriate, and places with one click at exact physical size.
29. After placement, confirm the Objects list contains linked inner and outer rosette-channel circles at the saved diameters. If a plausible concentric channel pair existed before placement, confirm its same objects were resized instead of duplicated.
30. Open CAM → Operations → Add pocket, click between the two channel circles, and confirm a normal annular Region pocket is prepared. With a cutter narrower than the channel, confirm 2D, 3D, material animation, and G-code follow one complete circular channel while preserving the soundhole area.
31. Move the linked soundhole circle and confirm the artwork and both channel circles follow it. Select the rosette, toggle Artwork, then save and reopen the main project. Confirm the embedded design, exact circles, and links are preserved.
