Figure, table and section ledger
Editorial contribution type: Architecture & representation (primary).
Layout extraction, not a required paper template. Counts are distinct caption labels; a multi-panel figure counts once. Section spans are estimated from heading positions, including floats and whitespace. Method and limitations.

Extraction notes: No attached appendix boundary detected. Zero means no recognized caption, not independently verified absence.
Section-by-section lengths and source pages
The title/abstract/front matter precede the first numbered heading. A span ends at the next detected top-level heading, not at the last sentence; end-page whitespace is included. References and statements are listed separately. These are not measurements of text-only or artwork area.

Separate source files—excluded from canonical-PDF totals
A separate author version may repeat main text and references. Whole-file lengths and counts are not extra appendix material and are never added to the canonical PDF totals. Read the study's source scope for which sections received substantive reading versus layout inspection.
Additional source 1
Separate PDF (or ZIP containing it): whole-file layout of 3 physical pages; 2 detected figures and 3 tables. These may include overlapping main-text material.
Located appendix only: starts on physical p.1; ≈ 2.94 page-equivalents, 2 figure labels and 3 table labels. This interval is distinct from the whole file.
Argument and organization
- Hybrid supervision and scale control
Motivate 2D/3D consistency, then define encoder, prompt decoder and decoupled training.
- Dataset and two evaluation modes
Describe annotation curation before interactive and full-segmentation tests.
Problem, claim and contribution
The paper contrasts data-limited native 3D learning with inconsistent lifted 2D priors, motivating a hybrid training contract rather than choosing either extreme.
Introduction and Figure 1, PDF pp. 1–2 · Main paper · Additional source 2
Argument and section order
The task definition introduces both point index and optional scale, and the method separates encoder learning from later decoder training with the encoder frozen.
Sections 3.1 and 3.4, PDF pp. 3–4 · Main paper · Additional source 2
Figures, captions and visual explanation
The architecture divides encoder and scale-aware decoder with a clear boundary and frozen/trainable legend; the result grid and table separately label with-scale and no-scale variants.

Tables, comparisons and evidence
Interactive and full segmentation receive separate tables, while ablations preserve the distinction between supplied scale and no-scale testing.
Tables 1–3, PDF pp. 6–8 · Main paper · Additional source 2
Appendix and reproducibility
The supplement discloses that controlled scale tests use ground-truth part size, then probes perturbations and illustrates failures on thin structures and color-dependent distinctions.
Supplement Sections 2.3–2.4 and Figure 1, PDF pp. 1–3 · Main paper · Additional source 2
Clarity and writing conventions
The main text reuses scale, prompt and feature terminology consistently between the formal task, diagram and experiments.

What to reuse—and what not to infer
Transferable lesson: If an extra prompt improves performance, make its information advantage visible in every comparison and test sensitivity to imperfect user input.
Boundary: Ground-truth scale is privileged information relative to point-only baselines; the with-scale score should not be presented as a like-for-like automatic gain.
Apply this lesson using the argument and evidence worksheet.
