Sphere with planar cap

sha256:12bf4e0c44a1aa01…

§1Prompt verbatim

Solid sphere of radius 25 mm cut by the plane z = 18 mm; keep the −z portion. Origin at sphere centre. Output a watertight solid.

§3Reference render

canonical reference · drag to orbit, scroll to zoom

Visualisation is rebuilt in-browser from the canonical parametric description. Scoring is performed against the held-out reference STEP file (sha-256 fingerprint above).

Each tile is rebuilt from the canonical parametric description and degraded to match the agent's scored profile (tessellation, non-manifold face removal, dimension scale jitter, missing features). Image-only diffusion models render visually plausible meshes but score in the single digits on BREP fidelity — the geometry is not a manifold solid even when the render reads clean.
