Why Is My Model Slow? Precision, Bounds, Engines
A diagnostic path for slow Rig Cad projects: find the node, match the symptom, learn the cube law behind SDF precision, and pick engine and GPU settings.

If you already think in Geometry Nodes, the Objects tree is the graph. Mesh Boolean is a hard CSG node. The purple diamond turns that same node into a field.
Oversize the Cutter: Reliable Booleans in Rig Cad
Use deliberate cutter margins to prevent coincident-face failures, preserve transformed through-cuts, and give smooth SDF subtraction room to resolve cleanly.
Signed Distance Fields: Geometry as a Function
From exact primitives and Boolean composition to sphere tracing and level sets, signed distance fields turn geometry into a queryable scalar function.
