Generators DSL

Generators are authoring-time helpers. They expand into explicit features/sketch entities before compile and do not appear as their own runtime IR feature kind.

Generators

• featureArray(layout, make) -> IntentFeature[]
• sketchArray(layout, make) -> SketchEntity[] | SketchProfile[]
• featureCircularArray(layout, make) -> IntentFeature[]
• sketchCircularArray(layout, make) -> SketchEntity[] | SketchProfile[]
• featureRadialArray(layout, make) -> IntentFeature[]
• sketchRadialArray(layout, make) -> SketchEntity[] | SketchProfile[]
• featureArrayAlongSpline(layout, make) -> IntentFeature[]
• sketchArrayAlongSpline(layout, make) -> SketchEntity[] | SketchProfile[]

Generators expand at authoring time. count is a fixed integer tuple [cols, rows], while spacing and origin accept Scalar values (numbers or expressions). Circular/radial layouts require numeric angles and radius values because trigonometry is evaluated immediately.

Examples:

• Feature array
• Sketch array
• Circular array
• Radial array
• Spline array
• Pattern vs generator comparison
