known-issues

• Each layer name must be unique ; otherwise, you might see strange results!

• Make sure to use the colon “:” correctly. if it’s missing or misplaced, the layer might show up with an unexpected color or thickness. I’ve tried to make the app error-tolerant, but you know.

• Open paths: to extrude a piece with volume, the path must be a closed shape. However, Punctured and Neon tube modes use open paths to draw lines without turning them into volume. For other uses, turn the path into a shape —for example with “Expand Stroke”— before loading it.

• SVG specification supports gradients and image patterns, but NearSolid does not (yet!): At the moment, we cannot display these styles in NearSolid.

• NearSolid isn’t built for ultra high-quality renders It’s designed to give you a solid, good-enough preview that runs smoothly in your browser and on your phone. If you need a higher-quality render, you can always export the NearSolid model as GLTF and open it in Blender.

• Sometimes things can go wrong: A shape with too few points might not properly detect the previous layer. If this happens, try adding an extra point or vertex to help NearSolid recognize the object.
