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.
- Canonical PDF
- 10 physical pages
- Before references / appendix
- ≈ 8.11 page-equivalents
- Main figures / tables
- 9 / 2
- Attached appendix figures / tables

- Attached appendix span
- Separate file recorded below; not in this PDF total
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.

No recognized caption labels.
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.

Separate PDF (or ZIP containing it): whole-file layout of 9 physical pages; 6 detected figures and 4 tables. These may include overlapping main-text material.
Located appendix only: starts on physical p.1; ≈ 8.91 page-equivalents, 6 figure labels and 4 table labels. This interval is distinct from the whole file.

Argument and organization
- Related work and representation
Contrast 2D-prior and multi-view approaches before defining Gaussian latent editing.
- Method to evaluation
Introduce inversion, attention, masks and refinement before testing edit fidelity and preservation.
Problem, claim and contribution
The opening distinguishes the failure of 2D editing signals from the desired globally consistent geometric change, making the choice of a native 3D latent space the argumentative pivot.
Abstract and Sections 1–2, PDF pp. 1–3 · Main paper · Additional source 2
Argument and section order
Section 3 starts with a roadmap to each component and separates the inherited DiffSplat representation from the proposed editing operations.

Figures, captions and visual explanation
The compact result table on page 6 explicitly gives opposite metric directions for editing alignment and unchanged-region difference; rank colors complement bold numbers rather than replacing metric labels.

Tables, comparisons and evidence
CLIP metrics, pairwise GPTEval3D preferences and a human study supply different evidence for instruction following, view consistency and visual quality; these should not be collapsed into one accuracy claim.

Appendix and reproducibility
The supplement separates additional qualitative comparisons, geometry-control use cases and the metric/implementation protocol, making the extra images interpretable as evidence rather than decoration.
Supplement Sections 1–3, PDF pp. 1–6 · Main paper · Additional source 2
Clarity and writing conventions
Named component subsections and a method roadmap help readers navigate a pipeline that would otherwise appear as an unstructured collection of improvements.

What to reuse—and what not to infer
Transferable lesson: For editing papers, present separate evidence for the intended change and preservation of untouched content, and show exactly which stage enforces each.
Boundary: Do not turn the best average alignment into universal superiority: Table 1's unchanged-region difference is lower for GaussCTRL than for 3D-LATTE.
Apply this lesson using the argument and evidence worksheet.
