NEW: AUTOMATIC Adjusting Projection Tolerances
To calculate centerlines, VTube projects surface vectors (see the blue lines in the image). As of this version, when an intersection is not found, VTube will automatically double the projection tolerance and try again.The maximum automatic adjustment value is 1mm (0.039").If you are working with very crude cylinders, and need more than 1mm of projection tolerance, then manually set the projection tolerance higher, then calculate again. |
NEW: Viewport Popup Menu Items Added
New features are added to the VTube-STEP pop up menu:
|
NEW: Alpine Bender Output for Roll Bending
|
ENHANCED: Export/Import PERSISTENT Configurations With PROJECT DEFAULT SETUP Configurations
ENHANCED: QuickLoad Improved With Better Exploring
|
ENHANCED: System Options - Keep or Delete Imported Model During Project Save
NEW: Project Batch Report Output
Load the batch reporter in the Report menu of either STEP mode of LASER mode: |
ENHANCED: Collected Data Now Saved In Project Files
The collected objects are now saved and recalled to and from VTube project files. (In previous versions, they were automatically erased.) |
