Another collection of small fixes and features, with one or two that are sure to be crowd pleasers. \u00a0Get it now and don’t be left out!<\/p>\n
Most of the changes fall into two categories. \u00a0Sub-Surfaces and the main GUI.<\/p>\n
The first sub-surface work allows multi-surface geoms (common with custom components) to assign sub-surfaces on a per-surface basis (rather than to all surfaces).<\/p>\n
In addition, sub-surfaces are now output to DegenGeom files. \u00a0This kind of extension of the DG file format was always expected, so hopefully parsers have been written to ‘just work’.<\/p>\n
Sub-surfaces are output as a u,v polyline, it is up to the DegenGeom user to figure out what that means for their stick or plate representation.\u00a0 Sub-surface names are also written out as well as a flag indicating which side of the polyline is the ‘inside’ of the subsurface.<\/p>\n
The main window has been refactored such that it is now generated on the fly. \u00a0This will make future updates much easier. \u00a0While I was there, I made a bunch of other improvements and cleanups.<\/p>\n
The Undo button is now located under the Edit menu, and Ctrl-Z (Cmd-Z on Mac) will trigger Undo. \u00a0Lots of menu commands now have sensible shortcut keys that make common actions easier and also document some little-known capability.<\/p>\n
On Mac, the main menu bar now appears in the top window bar like other native applications. \u00a0This may take some getting used to.<\/p>\n
If you’re still looking for a reason to update, here it is. \u00a0With this version, a press of the ‘f’ key will fit the visible model (zoom and center) to the screen (and change the rotation center to the center of the visible model).<\/p>\n
