The BIT shape selector includes TRI, TRI2, PENT, and PENT2. For upright compartments, TRI/PENT place a flat edge at the bottom and TRI2/PENT2 place a vertex there. Laid-down TRI and TRI2 use the same pointed-bottom profile. Windows validation uses BIT 4.13.0 from the reviewed BIT revision. The library profile pins that revision so new projects download the verified shape implementation. Update this pin through the normal release flow after Windows validation.
