Summary

  • Add Skinning.md tutorial (225 lines): covers skin(), path_sweep(), spiral_sweep() with practical examples
  • Add Edge_Face_Sets.md tutorial (254 lines): covers edge/face selection, EDGES constant, except parameter, masking patterns

Both tutorials follow existing BOSL2 tutorial format with progressive examples from simple to complex.

Test plan

  • All OpenSCAD code examples in tutorials are valid
  • Markdown renders correctly
  • Links to existing documentation are accurate
