+## Functions
+
+### Curves & Surfacing
+
+#### `hermiteTransitionG2()` — Create a quintic Hermite transition curve between two edge endpoints (G2 continuity).
+
+The curve starts at `a.point` tangent to `a.tangent` with curvature `a.curvature`, and ends at `b.point` tangent to `b.tangent` with curvature `b.curvature`, with smooth G2-continuous interpolation matching position, tangent, and curvature.
+
+```ts
+hermiteTransitionG2(a: QuinticHermiteCurveEndpoint, b: QuinticHermiteCurveEndpoint): QuinticHermiteCurve3D
+```
+
+**`QuinticHermiteCurveEndpoint`**
+
+| Option | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `point` | `Vec3` | Position |
+| `tangent` | `Vec3` | Tangent direction (will be normalized internally) |
+| `curvature?` | `Vec3` | Second derivative / curvature vector. Default [0, 0, 0]. |
+| `weight?` | `number` | Weight: scales tangent magnitude relative to chord length. Default 1.0. |
+
+#### `spline2d()` — Build a smooth Catmull-Rom spline sketch from 2D control points.
+
+A closed spline (default) returns a filled profile. An open spline requires a strokeWidth option to produce a solid sketch. Use tension (0..1, default 0.5) to control curve tightness.
+
+```ts
+spline2d(points: Vec2[], options?: Spline2DOptions): Sketch
+```
+
+**`Spline2DOptions`**
+
+| Option | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `closed?` | `boolean` | Closed loop (default true). |
+| `tension?` | `number` | Catmull-Rom tension in [0, 1]. 0 = very round, 1 = linear-ish. Default 0.5. |
+| `samplesPerSegment?` | `number` | Samples per segment (minimum 3). Default 16. |
+| `strokeWidth?` | `number` | For open splines, provide stroke width to return a solid Sketch. If omitted for open splines, an error is thrown. |
+| `join?` | `"Round" | "Square"` | Stroke join for open splines. Default 'Round'. |
+
+#### `spline3d()` — Create a reusable 3D spline curve object (Catmull-Rom).
+
+The returned Curve3D provides sample(), pointAt(t), tangentAt(t), and length() for downstream use in sweep() or manual path operations.
+
+```ts
+spline3d(points: Vec3[], options?: Spline3DOptions): Curve3D
+```
+
+**`Spline3DOptions`**
+- `closed?: boolean` — Closed loop (default false).
+- `tension?: number` — Catmull-Rom tension in [0, 1]. 0 = very round, 1 = linear-ish. Default 0.5.
+
+#### `loft()` — Loft between multiple sketches along Z stations.
+
+Profiles can differ in topology and vertex count: interpolation is done on signed-distance fields and meshed with level-set extraction. Heights must be strictly increasing. Compatible loft stacks can export through the OCCT exact route.
+
+Performance note: loft is significantly heavier than primitive/extrude/revolve. If the part is axis-symmetric (bottles, vases, knobs), prefer revolve().
+
+```ts
+loft(profiles: Sketch[], heights: number[], options?: LoftOptions): Shape
+```
+
+**`LoftOptions`**
+- `edgeLength?: number` — Marching-grid edge length for level-set meshing. Smaller = finer.
+- `boundsPadding?: number` — Optional extra bounds padding.
+
+#### `loftAlongSpine()` — Loft between multiple profiles positioned along an arbitrary 3D spine curve.
+
+Unlike loft() which only supports Z heights, loftAlongSpine() places each profile at a position along a 3D spine, oriented perpendicular to the spine tangent. This enables lofting along curved paths — e.g., a wing root-to-tip transition that follows a swept-back leading edge.
+
+The tValues array specifies where each profile sits along the spine (0 = start, 1 = end). Must have the same length as profiles and be in [0, 1].
+
+Internally uses variableSweep infrastructure with SDF interpolation.
+
+Performance note: uses level-set meshing, heavier than simple loft().
+
+```ts
+loftAlongSpine(profiles: Sketch[], spine: Curve3D | Vec3[], tValues: number[], options?: LoftAlongSpineOptions): Shape
+```
+
+**`LoftAlongSpineOptions`**
+
+| Option | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `samples?` | `number` | Number of samples when spine is a Curve3D. Default 48. |
+| `edgeLength?` | `number` | Marching-grid edge length for level-set meshing. Smaller = finer. |
+| `boundsPadding?` | `number` | Optional extra bounds padding. |
+| `up?` | `Vec3` | Preferred "up" vector for local profile frame. Auto fallback is used near parallel segments. |
+
+#### `sweep()`
+
+```ts
+sweep(profile: Sketch, path: SweepPathInput, options?: SweepOptions): Shape
+```
+
+**`SweepOptions`**
+
+| Option | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `samples?` | `number` | Number of samples when path is a Curve3D. Default 48. |
+| `edgeLength?` | `number` | Marching-grid edge length for level-set meshing. Smaller = finer. |
+| `boundsPadding?` | `number` | Optional extra bounds padding. |
+| `up?` | `Vec3` | Preferred "up" vector for local profile frame. Auto fallback is used near parallel segments. |
+
+#### `variableSweep()` — Sweep a variable cross-section along a 3D spine curve.
+
+Unlike sweep(), which uses a single constant profile, variableSweep() interpolates between multiple profiles at different stations along the spine. This enables organic shapes like tapering tubes, bone-like structures, and sculptural forms.
+
+Each section specifies a t parameter (0 = start, 1 = end of spine) and a 2D profile sketch. The SDF-based level-set mesher smoothly blends between profiles at intermediate positions.
+
+Performance note: like sweep(), this uses level-set meshing internally.
+
+```ts
+variableSweep(spine: SweepPathInput, sections: VariableSweepSection[], options?: VariableSweepOptions): Shape
+```
+
+**`VariableSweepSection`**
+- `t: number` — Parameter along the spine (0 = start, 1 = end).
+- `profile: Sketch` — Cross-section profile at this station.
+
+**`VariableSweepOptions`**
+
+| Option | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `samples?` | `number` | Number of samples when spine is a Curve3D. Default 48. |
+| `edgeLength?` | `number` | Marching-grid edge length for level-set meshing. Smaller = finer. |
+| `boundsPadding?` | `number` | Optional extra bounds padding. |
+| `up?` | `Vec3` | Preferred "up" vector for local profile frame. Auto fallback is used near parallel segments. |
+
+#### `surfacePatch()` — Create a smooth surface patch from 4 boundary curves (Coons patch).
+
+The four curves form the boundary of a quadrilateral patch:
+
+- bottom: u=0..1 at v=0 (from corner00 to corner10)
+- top: u=0..1 at v=1 (from corner01 to corner11)
+- left: v=0..1 at u=0 (from corner00 to corner01)
+- right: v=0..1 at u=1 (from corner10 to corner11)
+
+The interior is filled using bilinear Coons patch interpolation: P(u,v) = Lc(u,v) + Ld(u,v) - B(u,v)
+
+The result is a thin solid created by offsetting the surface mesh along its normals by the specified thickness.
+
+Note: curves should meet at corners. Small gaps are tolerated.
+
+```ts
+surfacePatch(curves: { ... }, options?: SurfacePatchOptions): Shape
+```
+
+**`SurfacePatchOptions`**
+- `resolution?: number` — Number of samples along each direction. Default 24.
+- `thickness?: number` — Thickness of the generated solid. Default 0.5.
+
+#### `transitionCurve()` — Create a smooth transition curve between two edges.
+
+Returns a `HermiteCurve3D` that starts at `edgeA.point` tangent to `edgeA.tangent` and ends at `edgeB.point` tangent to `edgeB.tangent`.
+
+The curve maintains G1 continuity (matching tangent direction) at both endpoints. Weight parameters control the shape of the transition.
+
+```js
+```js
+
+// Connect two edges with a balanced transition const curve = transitionCurve( { point: [0, 0, 0], tangent: [1, 0, 0] }, { point: [10, 5, 0], tangent: [1, 0, 0] }, );
+
+```
+
+// Weighted: curve hugs edge A longer
+const weighted = transitionCurve(
+  { point: [0, 0, 0], tangent: [1, 0, 0] },
+  { point: [10, 5, 0], tangent: [1, 0, 0] },
+  { weightA: 2.0, weightB: 0.5 },
+);
+```
+
+```ts
+transitionCurve(edgeA: TransitionEdge, edgeB: TransitionEdge, options?: TransitionCurveOptions): HermiteCurve3D
+```
+
+**`TransitionEdge`**
+- `point: Vec3` — Connection point on the edge. Can be any point along the edge where the transition should connect.
+- `tangent: Vec3` — Tangent direction at the connection point. This is the direction the curve should initially follow when leaving this edge. For a straight edge, this is typically the edge direction pointing "outward" (away from the body of the edge, toward the other edge).
+- `normal?: Vec3` — Surface normal at the connection point (optional). Used as a hint for the sweep frame's up vector.
+
+**`TransitionCurveOptions`**
+- `weightA?: number` — Weight for the start edge. Controls tangent magnitude at the start. - 1.0 (default): balanced transition - > 1.0: curve follows start edge longer before turning - < 1.0: curve turns sooner at the start
+- `weightB?: number` — Weight for the end edge. Controls tangent magnitude at the end. - 1.0 (default): balanced transition - > 1.0: curve follows end edge longer before turning - < 1.0: curve turns sooner at the end
+- `samples?: number` — Number of sample points for the output polyline. Default 64. Higher values give smoother curves at the cost of more geometry.
+
+#### `transitionSurface()` — Create a solid transition surface between two edges by sweeping a profile along a Hermite transition curve.
+
+This produces a watertight solid that smoothly connects the two edges. Works with both Manifold and OCCT backends.
+
+```js
+```js
+
+// Circular tube connecting two edges const tube = transitionSurface( { point: [0, 0, 0], tangent: [1, 0, 0] }, { point: [10, 5, 3], tangent: [0, 1, 0] }, { radius: 0.5 }, );
+
+```
+
+// Custom profile with weights
+const custom = transitionSurface(
+  { point: [0, 0, 0], tangent: [1, 0, 0] },
+  { point: [10, 5, 3], tangent: [0, 1, 0] },
+  { profile: mySketch, weightA: 1.5, weightB: 0.8 },
+);
+```
+
+```ts
+transitionSurface(edgeA: TransitionEdge, edgeB: TransitionEdge, options?: TransitionSurfaceOptions): Shape
+```
+
+
+**`TransitionSurfaceOptions`** extends TransitionCurveOptions
+
+| Option | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `profile?` | `Sketch` | Cross-section profile to sweep along the transition curve. If omitted, a circular profile with `radius` is used. |
+| `radius?` | `number` | Radius of circular cross-section (used when `profile` is omitted). Default: 5% of chord length. |
+| `up?` | `Vec3` | Preferred up vector for the sweep frame. Default: auto-detected. |
+| `edgeLength?` | `number` | Edge length for level-set meshing. Smaller = finer. |
+| `boundsPadding?` | `number` | Extra bounds padding for level-set meshing. |
+| `width`, `height` | | — |
+
+#### `connectEdges()` — Create a transition surface or solid bridge between two edge segments.
+
+Tangents can be inferred from neighboring geometry or supplied explicitly through `options`. This is useful for loft-like blends where you want a direct connection between two edge spans.
+
+```ts
+connectEdges(edgeA: EdgeSegment, edgeB: EdgeSegment, options?: ConnectEdgesOptions): Shape
+```
+
+**`EdgeSegment`**
+
+| Option | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `index` | `number` | Stable index within the extraction (deterministic for a given mesh). |
+| `direction` | `Vec3` | Normalized direction from start → end. |
+| `dihedralAngle` | `number` | Dihedral angle in degrees (0 = coplanar, 180 = knife edge). |
+| `convex` | `boolean` | true = outside corner (convex), false = inside corner (concave). |
+| `normalA` | `Vec3` | Normal of first adjacent face. |
+| `normalB` | `Vec3` | Normal of second adjacent face (same as normalA for boundary edges). |
+| `boundary` | `boolean` | true if this is a boundary (unmatched) edge — unusual for closed solids. |
+| `start`, `end`, `midpoint`, `length` | | — |
+
+
+**`ConnectEdgesOptions`** extends TransitionSurfaceOptions
+
+| Option | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `endA?` | `EdgeEnd` | Which end of edge A to connect. Default: 'start'. |
+| `endB?` | `EdgeEnd` | Which end of edge B to connect. Default: 'start'. |
+| `tangentModeA?` | `TangentMode` | Tangent mode for edge A. Default: 'along'. |
+| `tangentModeB?` | `TangentMode` | Tangent mode for edge B. Default: 'along'. |
+| `tangentA?` | `Vec3` | Explicit tangent for edge A. |
+| `tangentB?` | `Vec3` | Explicit tangent for edge B. |

+
+### `Curve3D`
+
+**Properties:**
+
+| Property | Type | Description |
+|----------|------|-------------|
+| `points` | `Vec3[]` | — |
+| `closed` | `boolean` | — |
+| `tension` | `number` | — |
+
+**Methods:**
+
+#### `sampleBySegment()` — Sample the curve with a fixed number of points per segment.
+
+```ts
+sampleBySegment(samplesPerSegment?: number): Vec3[]
+```
+
+#### `sample()` — Sample the curve to an approximate total point count.
+
+```ts
+sample(count?: number): Vec3[]
+```
+
+#### `pointAt()` — Return the position on the curve at normalized parameter `t` in `[0, 1]`. O(1), no allocations.
+
+```ts
+pointAt(t: number): Vec3
+```
+

+
+```ts
+tangentAt(t: number): Vec3

+
+```ts
+length(samples?: number): number
+```
+
+### `PathBuilder`
+
+**Line Segments**
+
+#### `moveTo()` — Move the cursor to an absolute position without drawing a segment.
+
+When called after the initial [`path()`](/docs/sketch#path), this establishes the start of the outline. Calling `moveTo` again mid-path starts a new sub-path (hole in `close()`, separate segment for [`stroke()`](/docs/sketch#stroke)).
+
+```ts
+moveTo(x: number, y: number): this
+```
+
+#### `lineTo()` — Draw a straight line from the current cursor to an absolute position.
+
+```ts
+lineTo(x: number, y: number): this
+```
+
+#### `lineH()` — Draw a horizontal line segment by `dx` units from the current cursor.
+
+Positive `dx` moves right; negative moves left.
+
+```ts
+lineH(dx: number): this
+```
+
+#### `lineV()` — Draw a vertical line segment by `dy` units from the current cursor.
+
+Positive `dy` moves up; negative moves down.
+
+```ts
+lineV(dy: number): this
+```
+
+#### `lineAngled()` — Draw a line at the given angle and length from the current cursor.
+
+Angle convention: `0°` points right (+X), `90°` points up (+Y).
+
+```ts
+// L-bracket with angled return
+path().moveTo(0, 0).lineH(50).lineV(-70).lineAngled(20, 235).stroke(4);
+```
+
+```ts
+lineAngled(length: number, degrees: number): this
+```
+
+**Arcs**
+
+#### `arc()` — Draw an arc defined by center, radius, and angle range (no trig needed). If the path has no segments yet, automatically moves to the arc start. Positive sweep (startDeg < endDeg) = CCW, negative = CW.
+
+```js
+// Arc centered at (10, 0), radius 50, from -30° to +30°
+path().arc(10, 0, 50, -30, 30).stroke(8, 'Round')
+```
+
+```ts
+arc(cx: number, cy: number, radius: number, startDeg: number, endDeg: number): this
+```
+
+#### `arcTo()` — Draw a circular arc from the current position to (x, y) with the given radius. `clockwise=true` → arc curves to the right of the start→end direction. `clockwise=false` → arc curves to the left of the start→end direction.
+
+```ts
+arcTo(x: number, y: number, radius: number, clockwise?: boolean): this
+```
+
+#### `tangentArcTo()` — G1-continuous arc — radius derived from current tangent + endpoint. Throws if endpoint is collinear with current direction.
+
+```ts
+tangentArcTo(x: number, y: number): this
+```
+
+**Curves**
+
+#### `bezierTo()` — Cubic bezier from current position to (x, y) via two control points.
+
+```ts
+bezierTo(cp1x: number, cp1y: number, cp2x: number, cp2y: number, x: number, y: number): this
+```
+
+**Closing & Output**
+
+#### `close()` — Close the path and return a filled [`Sketch`](/docs/sketch#sketch).
+
+The winding of the polygon is automatically corrected to CCW (the expected orientation for ForgeCAD sketches). If the path contains multiple sub-paths (started with subsequent `moveTo` calls), the first sub-path is the outer contour and subsequent sub-paths become holes subtracted from it.
+
+Edge labels (assigned with `.label('name')`) are transferred to the resulting sketch and propagate through `extrude()`, `revolve()`, `loft()`, and `sweep()` into named faces on the resulting [`Shape`](/docs/core#shape).
+
+```ts
+const triangle = path().moveTo(0, 0).lineH(50).lineV(30).close();
+
+// With a hole (second sub-path)
+const frame = path()
+  .moveTo(0, 0).lineH(40).lineV(30).lineH(-40).close(); // outer
+  // (hole would be added with another moveTo and line sequence before close)
+```
+
+```ts
+close(): Sketch
+```
+
+#### `closeLabel()` — Label the closing segment and close the path. Shorthand for labeling the implicit line from the last point back to the start, then closing.
+
+```ts
+closeLabel(name: string): Sketch
+```
+
+#### [`stroke()`](/docs/sketch#stroke) — Thicken an open polyline (centerline) into a solid filled profile with uniform width.
+
+Expands the path into a closed profile `width` units wide (half-width on each side of the centerline). Use `'Round'` for ribs, wire traces, and organic profiles — it adds semicircular endcaps and rounds joins. Use `'Square'` (default) for sharp miter joins without endcaps.
+
+Not the same as rounding corners of a closed polygon — for mixed sharp-and-rounded outlines, build the polygon first and apply [`filletCorners()`](/docs/core#filletcorners).
+
+```ts
+// Square-join L-bracket
+const bracket = path().moveTo(0, 0).lineH(50).lineV(-70).lineAngled(20, 235).stroke(4);
+
+// Round-join rib
+const rib = path().moveTo(0, 0).lineH(60).stroke(6, 'Round');
+
+// Equivalent standalone form
+const wire = stroke([[0, 0], [50, 0], [50, -70]], 4);
+```
+
+and semicircular endcaps.
+
+```ts
+stroke(width: number, join?: "Round" | "Square"): Sketch
+```
+
+#### `label()` — Label the most recently added segment. Labels are born here and grow into face names when the sketch is extruded, lofted, swept, or revolved.
+
+Labels must be unique within a path. Each segment can have at most one label.
+
+```ts
+label(name: string): this
+```
+
+**Other**
+
+#### `getX()` — Current cursor X position.
+
+```ts
+getX(): number
+```
+
+#### `getY()` — Current cursor Y position.
+
+```ts
+getY(): number
+```
+
+#### `lineBy()` — Draw a line by a relative `(dx, dy)` displacement from the current cursor.
+
+```ts
+lineBy(dx: number, dy: number): this
+```
+
+#### `arcBy()` — Draw an arc to a point offset from the current cursor.
+
+```ts
+arcBy(dx: number, dy: number, radius: number, clockwise?: boolean): this
+```
+
+#### `bezierBy()` — Draw a cubic Bezier using control points relative to the current cursor.
+
+```ts
+bezierBy(dcp1x: number, dcp1y: number, dcp2x: number, dcp2y: number, dx: number, dy: number): this
+```
+
+#### `arcAround()` — Arc around a known center point, sweeping by the given angle. Radius is derived from the distance between the current position and the center. Positive sweep = CCW (math convention), negative = CW.
+
+```js
+// Arc 90° CCW around (50, 50)
+path().moveTo(70, 50).arcAround(50, 50, 90)
+// Arc 45° CW around the origin
+path().moveTo(10, 0).arcAround(0, 0, -45)
+```
+
+```ts
+arcAround(cx: number, cy: number, sweepDeg: number): this
+```
+
+#### `arcAroundRelative()` — Arc around a center point given as an offset from the current position. `(dx, dy)` is the vector from the current point to the center. Positive sweep = CCW (math convention), negative = CW.
+
+```js
+// Arc 90° CCW around a center 20 units to the right
+path().moveTo(50, 50).arcAroundRelative(20, 0, 90)
+// Equivalent to: path().moveTo(50, 50).arcAround(70, 50, 90)
+```
+
+```ts
+arcAroundRelative(dx: number, dy: number, sweepDeg: number): this
+```
+
+#### `smoothCapTo()` — Smooth three-arc end cap from the current position to (endX, endY). Inserts: small corner arc → large cap arc → small corner arc, all G1-continuous.
+
+```ts
+smoothCapTo(endX: number, endY: number, cornerRadius: number, capRadius: number): this
+```
+
+#### `tangentBezierTo()` — G1-continuous cubic bezier — first control point is auto-derived from the current tangent direction. `weight` controls how far the auto-placed control point extends along the tangent (default: 1/3 of the chord).
+
+The second control point `(cp2x, cp2y)` must be provided — it controls the arrival curvature. For a fully automatic smooth curve, see `smoothThrough`.
+
+```ts
+tangentBezierTo(cp2x: number, cp2y: number, x: number, y: number, weight?: number): this
+```
+
+#### `smoothThrough()` — Catmull-Rom spline through a list of waypoints from the current position. The current position is included as the first point. The last waypoint becomes the new cursor position.
+
+```ts
+smoothThrough(waypoints: [ number, number ][], tension?: number): this
+```
+
+#### [`fillet()`](/docs/core#fillet) — Round the last corner (the junction between the previous two segments) with a tangent arc of the given radius.
+
+Must be called after at least two line/arc segments that form a corner. The fillet trims back both segments and inserts a tangent arc.
+
+```js
+path().moveTo(0,0).lineTo(10,0).lineTo(10,10).fillet(2).lineTo(0,10).close()
+```
+
+```ts
+fillet(radius: number): this
+```
+
+#### [`chamfer()`](/docs/core#chamfer) — Chamfer the last corner with a straight cut of the given distance.
+
+```js
+path().moveTo(0,0).lineTo(10,0).lineTo(10,10).chamfer(2).lineTo(0,10).close()
+```
+
+```ts
+chamfer(distance: number): this
+```
+
+#### `mirror()` — Mirror all existing segments across an axis and append the mirrored copy in reverse order, creating a symmetric path. The axis passes through the current cursor position.
+
+'y' mirrors across the local Y-axis (flips X), or `[nx, ny]` for an arbitrary axis direction.
+
+```js
+// Build right half, mirror to get full symmetric profile
+path().moveTo(0,0).lineTo(10,0).lineTo(10,5).mirror('x').close()
+```
+
+```ts
+mirror(axis: "x" | "y" | [ number, number ]): this
+```
+
+#### `closeOffset()` — Close the path and return an offset version of the filled Sketch. Positive delta expands outward, negative shrinks inward.
+
+```ts
+closeOffset(delta: number, join?: "Round" | "Square" | "Miter"): Sketch
+```
