mirror, translate from/to, and rotate around axis options in the transform tool
regular views (left, right, top, bottom, front back)
adjustable grid (XY, YZ, ZX planes)
if you double tap on a face, the grid will move to the face
freeform surface tool completely revisited, lots of bugs fixed, now it should work much better
much better highlighting mechanism (selected/unselected states for shapes when using tools)
Bugfixes:
-fixed a bug that made the progress indicator disappear before finishing the import progress. That could be very confusing.
-fixed a bug that messed up the control points of periodic splines
-boolean operations are now faster in some cases
Great: iTunes Connect is down. The new release will be available when it is fixed. I don’t know why did we expect that Testflight will work properly. Just once.
Very nice! The transform, rotating a solid about an external axis is great. It would be nicer still to be able to repeat it or chose how many copies of the solid you want. I’m sure that is coming at some point. Not essential, but would speed up getting multiple copies of the solid at equal spacing/rotations.
There is bug in the revolve tool. If the arc is too small it skips details.
I am confused with the views. Front and top are rotating around the z axis while right goes to a correct side view. Front and right should show the object the same
On the revolve: it is a bug in the visualization, the shape is correct otherwise, if you would import it to another app, it would look OK. But I will fix it.
Yeah, probably later. Forgot to mention, but probably many of you have spotted that you can set the pivot point (center of the transformation) in the basic transform tool as well in this update.
While front and right would be more or less considered side view.
Here an object I created in top view and below I then want side and front view to be.
Haha, that’s funny, actually that’s how it worked originally. And then we had some requests that Y should be vertical. So we changed that. But it can be changed easily. So how should it be?
Hi there - really love the new transform tool - it is now immensely powerful and really quick to use. The mirror tool is great - can think of a lot of uses for this. Also like the ability to rotate using a pivot point that I can set. Just one thought on this, it may just be me, but it took me a while to work out how to set the pivot point. It was the tapping on the transform button at the top of the screen bit after selecting the pivot point that I seemed to miss out - I kept looking for a button on the side of the screen (may just need something added to the explanation top left eg ‘tap on transform button at top of screen’. (on the other hand, I may just be being a bit slow this morning!)
The moveable grid is also great. I am just wondering if drawing on a surface could be helped if the grid showed through onto the surface itself and that the snap points worked as if you were drawing on the grid itself - I think you mentioned before that this may be a feature of future updates?
Anyway, great update and will enjoy experimenting with the new tools! Andy
