# SMLib: sweeps, threads, shell and offset

A triage of the regression rig's sweeps, threads and shell cases, and of the ladder's tiers 03
(analytic profiles), 04 (spline profiles), 06 (threads) and 09 (shells and offsets): 169 cases,
each run on SMLib (`solidcraft-cli kernel-cases`) on `kernel-smlib` at 4b8953726 and graded
against the case's own answer ([kernel-cases.md](kernel-cases.md)). This page lists only the
cases that do not pass, grouped by what goes wrong, worst first; it is kept by hand as fixes
land.

| | Cases | Pass |
|---|---|---|
| sweeps | 83 | 51 |
| threads | 28 | 11 |
| shell | 18 | 11 |
| ladder 03, 04, 06, 09 | 40 | 26 |
| **all** | **169** | **99** |

A thread off its hole's or shaft's size is refused on this branch (the owner's rule): those
cases pass by refusing, and are not listed.

## A. Wrong geometry (worst)

| Case | SMLib | SMLib's result |
|---|---|---|
| sweeps/2667-revolve-half-disc-three-quarters | fail | a half disc on the axis turned 270°: SMLib makes a quarter ball turned inside out (V = -226, want 679) |
| sweeps/3528-revolved-dome-cut-by-a-ball-on-its-seam | fail | the ball's cut is lost where it crosses the revolve's seam: V 48118, want 46425 |
| sweeps/2847-loft-rectangles-turning-through-half-a-turn | fail | inside out (V = -127, want 2262) |
| sweeps/450-revolve-spherical-shell-sketched-off-the-origin | fail | two shells where one is wanted, which the B-rep record can't close |

## B. Crash

| Case | SMLib | SMLib's result |
|---|---|---|
| ladder/09-shells-and-offsets/011-part-shell | crash | step 21 (solid.fillet) on the SMLib body: curve blend internal error "Two same vertices cannot construct an edge"; the fillet is the blends work's, not this page's |

## C. Threads: the groove's boolean fails SMLib's check

The groove (SMLib's screw sweep) cuts the body, and the result fails SMLib's own check: vertex
gaps of 1–6e-5 mm against vertex tolerances of 4–20e-6 mm (Test #0/#2 Bad Gap), an edge whose
geometry fails validation (Test #61), or a trim curve that does not lie on its edge when the
result is read back (SMLib export: pcurve).
