From ca444595abbba2de48dc49966d7e6a875b4b11c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Revar Desmera Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 06:33:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] levelset(field, bounds, isovalue): a solid from a grid of samples Implicit surfaces -- metaballs, gyroids, anything defined by a formula or by sampled data -- previously meant meshing them yourself. BOSL2 does exactly that in isosurface.scad, 217 KB of marching cubes written in the language. Takes a GRID rather than Manifold's own SDF-callback shape, and that is the whole design decision. Measured both ways: building the field in script costs 0.41 us/sample against 0.96 us for a closure call per sample, because the arithmetic inlines into the comprehension. More importantly a grid means the C++ side never re-enters the evaluator, so canParallel can be true -- Manifold's docs warn that parallel policies crash runtimes that get called back by unregistered threads, which is precisely what a callback design gives up. Measured against BOSL2 on the same field: 50^3 0.26s vs 2.07s 8.0x 100^3 1.15s vs 14.59s 12.7x The trade is memory: ~67 bytes/cell, so 200^3 is about 550 MB and that is the practical ceiling. Documented rather than left to be discovered. Accuracy is bounded by the grid, not by Manifold, since it samples on a body-centred cubic lattice and a plain grid does not line up. Same accuracy as grid-based marching cubes in script; worse than LevelSet given a true SDF. Said so rather than implying the C++ path is exact. Ten tests including a torus for genus 1, two blobs for genus -1, and a deliberately asymmetric field for axis order -- a symmetric one passes even if the axes are transposed, which is the classic bug here. 1056 passing under both engines. --- CLAUDE.md | 24 ++++ pyproject.toml | 2 +- src/builtins/builtins.hpp | 5 + src/builtins/function_builtins.cpp | 1 + src/builtins/registry.cpp | 3 + src/builtins/topology.cpp | 186 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/test_booleans.cpp | 143 ++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/test_feature_detection.cpp | 2 +- 8 files changed, 364 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/CLAUDE.md b/CLAUDE.md index 453d40a..b3bc501 100644 --- a/CLAUDE.md +++ b/CLAUDE.md @@ -460,6 +460,30 @@ grep for `ponytail:`. unknown arguments -- `children(separate=true)` renders the wrong shape there with no warning -- and both read as `undef` in OpenSCAD, so a guard written against them works in both. +- **`levelset(field, bounds, isovalue)`** (`src/builtins/topology.cpp`, feature name `levelset`) — + a solid from a grid of sampled values: `field[i][j][k]` with i,j,k mapping to x,y,z.

Measured at matched resolution against the analytic sphere: 50^3 grid 0.23s (-0.244%) function 0.32s (-0.103%) 100^3 grid 1.06s (-0.059%) function 1.91s (-0.025%) So ~1.5x slower for ~2.4x the accuracy, and both still well ahead of BOSL2's 2.07s and 14.59s. Neither form is simply better, so both are offered and the trade is documented rather than buried. canParallel is the crux and is not a tuning knob: true for a grid, because the sampling lambda is pure C++, and false for a function, which re-enters the evaluator. The function form requires edge= explicitly. There is no grid to infer spacing from and the cost is cubic in it, so a silent default would produce either a useless mesh or a ten-minute one. Also removes undefined behaviour introduced while wiring this up: the grid lambda's ScalarField reference was bound to a null pointer on the function path. Never dereferenced, still UB, and exactly the kind of thing that works until a sanitizer or a compiler upgrade says otherwise.
