+
+This is the "drape a curve onto a surface" primitive: each sampled point of the source curve is inverted onto the sheet (closest surface point via the analytic jet), and the foot points are fitted with `Curve.Fit`. Use it to trace a planned trim line, seam, or graphic onto a freeform panel, then sweep or trim from the real on-surface curve.

A tangential / grazing contact (where the surface normals are parallel and the tangent is undefined) is not marched and may be reported as no-intersection (an empty array) — tangential SSI is a documented follow-on, not a silent fallback.

+
+#### `curveAlong(edge: SheetEdge): NurbsCurve3D` — Extract an exact NURBS iso-curve from one of this sheet's boundary edges.
+
+Use this when a downstream feature should be driven by the actual sheet boundary, such as a swept rim, seam bead, trim strip, or adjacent blend.
+
+`SheetEdge` — defined in [core](/docs/core).
+
+#### `curveAlongU(vInput: number): NurbsCurve3D` — Extract an exact NURBS iso-curve in the sheet U direction at fixed `v`.
+
+Use this for centerline rails, ribs, beads, and trim features that live on the interior of a freeform sheet instead of on a boundary edge.
+
+#### `curveAlongV(uInput: number): NurbsCurve3D` — Extract an exact NURBS iso-curve in the sheet V direction at fixed `u`.
+
+Use this for cross-surface rails, seam lines, straps, and inspection paths that should be driven by the sheet parameterization rather than global axes.
+
+#### `pathAlong(edge: SheetEdge, options?: SheetPathAlongOptions): Vec3[]` — Sample a world-space path along a sheet boundary edge.
+
+Use this when a downstream feature should follow the real surface edge but does not need to stay an exact NURBS curve, for example a lip, gasket bead, trim strip, weld seam, or inlay lifted off the surface by `normalOffset`.
+
+`SheetPathAlongOptions` — defined in [core](/docs/core).
+
+#### `pathAlongBoundary(spans: SheetBoundaryPathSpan[], options?: SheetBoundaryPathOptions): Vec3[]` — Sample one connected path across ordered sheet boundary edge spans.
+
+This is the composite-boundary primitive for rolled rims, weld beads, gaskets, trim strips, and inlays that follow several sheet edges as one continuous rail. Span `start` / `end` values may be normalized parameters or world points; world points are resolved to the closest point on that edge so callers do not have to manually invoke `Curve.closestParameter()`.

+`SheetBoundaryPathSpan` — defined in [core](/docs/core).
+
+`SheetBoundaryPathOptions` — defined in [core](/docs/core).
+
+#### `pathAlongU(vInput: number, options?: SheetPathAlongOptions): Vec3[]` — Sample a world-space path in the sheet U direction at fixed `v`.
+
+Unlike `curveAlongU()`, this can lift points along the analytic normal with `normalOffset`, which is the common path for swept ribs, inlays, and raised details on a freeform carrier surface.
+
+#### `pathAlongV(uInput: number, options?: SheetPathAlongOptions): Vec3[]` — Sample a world-space path in the sheet V direction at fixed `u`.
+
+Use this for lifted cross-surface features where a sampled path is more useful than an exact iso-curve, for example straps, grooves, or probes.
+
+#### `frameAt(uInput: number, vInput: number, options?: SheetFrameOptions): SheetFrame` — Build an orthonormal local work frame on the sheet.
+
+This is the "construct tangent plane/frame on a surface" primitive for downstream sketches, profiles, fixtures, inspection probes, and features that must be oriented from the sheet itself rather than global axes.
+
+`SheetFrameOptions` — defined in [core](/docs/core).
+
+#### `framePerpendicularToU(uInput: number, vInput: number, options?: SheetFrameOptions): SheetFrame` — Build a section work frame perpendicular to the sheet's U direction.
+
+This is the "plane normal to path" primitive for ribs, raised handles, bosses, and other details whose cross-sections should be sketched across a carrier surface while marching along the surface U direction. The returned frame can be passed directly to `Shape.sliceOnFrame()`.
+
+#### `framePerpendicularToV(uInput: number, vInput: number, options?: SheetFrameOptions): SheetFrame` — Build a section work frame perpendicular to the sheet's V direction.
+
+Use this when the guide path runs in the surface V direction and the sketch profile should span the U direction while its height follows the surface normal. The returned frame can be passed directly to `Shape.sliceOnFrame()`.
+
+#### `toShape(options?: { resolution?: number; }): Shape` — Return this open sheet as a renderable surface Shape.
+
+#### `thicken(wall: number, options?: { resolution?: number; }): Shape` — Offset the sheet along its analytic normals into a watertight solid shell of the given wall thickness. Throws if the wall would self-intersect on a concave region (no silent degenerate solid).
+
+#### `thickenInsideBy(thickness: ThicknessInput, options?: { resolution?: number; }): Shape` — Thicken this sheet inward by a scalar UV thickness field.
+
+Numeric input delegates to `Sheet.thicken()`. `Thickness.*` fields produce a sampled solid because a variable normal offset is not generally an exact NURBS surface.

+  2. **Closed / periodic form** — `.closedU()/.closedV()` weld a direction's two ends into a tangent-continuous loop, so a closed-rim surface (e.g. a bowl's around-rim seam) is smooth with NO G0 kink.

The PNGs are a visual index for locating findings, not standalone artifacts. Command tree, flags, and `--focus`/`--hide` filtering live in `docs/skill/CLI.md` and `forgecad inspect evidence`; the inspection workflow lives in the `forgecad-inspect-model` skill. Model-authored `scene()` background, lights, fog, and exposure are ignored for inspection captures so evidence stays stable; named scene views remain available via `--view`.

 ## Reading Rules
 
 - **Identity evidence** (`objects`, `connectivity`, `distance`, `collisions`): colors are bundle-local labels. Resolve every color through the manifest; the same color never carries universal meaning across bundles. Edge pixels may be antialiased blends — match solid interior colors.
-- **Metric evidence** (`depth`, `thickness`, `roughness`, `distance`, `comparison`): read manifest thresholds, ranges, object summaries, and warnings before judging a PNG by eye.
+- **Metric evidence** (`depth`, `thickness`, `throughThickness`, `roughness`, `distance`, `comparison`): read manifest thresholds, ranges, object summaries, and warnings before judging a PNG by eye.
 - Black pixels are background = `null` (in `floating`, black also means ground-reachable geometry).
 - Treat unexpected collisions, critical thin regions, high unresolved thickness, wrong component counts, floating bodies, or surprising gaps as **model bugs to fix and reinspect** — not rendering noise.
 - Use section evidence to inspect hidden internals; never turn the production model into a permanent cutaway.
 
 ## The Physical-Contact Model
 
-Connectivity, floating, distance, and thickness all share one contact model:
+Connectivity, floating, distance, thickness, and minimum-solid-span (`throughThickness`) all share one contact model:
 
 - **Bbox is broadphase only.** Bbox overlap or bbox face contact never merges separate scene objects and is never support evidence.
 - Mesh surfaces within the contact tolerance (see manifest) count as **physically connected**.

 **thickness** — area-weighted surface point samples cast through the object along their normals; red = below min, orange = below warn, green = acceptable, blue = above max (thresholds in manifest; override via CLI flags). Contact-seam rule: rays crossing into a direct physical-contact neighbor skip hits within contact tolerance and continue to the next surface, so a modeled micro-gap between touching parts doesn't read as a paper-thin wall. **Gray/unresolved area means the heatmap is incomplete, NOT that the model is safe** — open meshes, concave geometry, coarse tessellation, or low sample counts leave unresolved regions. A mesh/raycast approximation, not FEA. Also writes `evidence/thickness/point-cloud.json` with per-sample object identity, local position, normal, thickness, class, color, and represented area.
 
+**throughThickness** — minimum solid span from each surface point. Instead of casting only along the local normal, it searches for the closest opposite boundary reachable by a segment that leaves the surface into occupied material; nearby exterior air gaps are rejected. This catches diagonal choke points and edge-near weak zones that normal thickness can miss. Uses the same threshold/color options as `thickness` in v1 and writes `evidence/through-thickness/point-cloud.json`.
