Inivis AC3D 7.2 includes: 3D File support Groups can now be drag/dropped to adjust the ordering and newly grouped objects retain the ordering - especially useful if you are editing large structures. A more complex example: Creating a slide for some trim flaps. Finally, include the button in the cockpit texture so the user has something to look at. Some improvements have been made to the Tool->Hierarchy. Make a panel where the button is supposed to be (interaction spot), and give the panel the relevant manipulator information, such as the command you want to use and the cursor to see. This is great when you have a folder/library of objects/textures and you quickly want to load them in AC3D. can be dropped directly onto an object so you can instantly see the texture in place. (Windows/Linux) You can now take a model from your desktop, or a Windows-Explorer/file-browser window and drop it straight into AC3D. This new function is available from the Tools menu as "Select Leaky Surfaces". The plugin checks for holes and open edges, selecting surfaces that are at the edge of the 'leaks'. AC3D 7.2 also includes Ron Jensen's plugin for checking the integrity of an object prior to 3D printing.
Models from STL files are automatically optimized at import (duplicate vertices at the same position are replaced by a single vertex).ĪC3D's new STL support means that you can directly preview and edit the STL files from 3D printing download sites such as Thingiverse. fixed window titles and global variable decls for remap/rescale texture coords.
STL is the most common file format used in 3D printing and AC3D 7.2 supports both ASCII and Binary STL files. to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation. More and more people are discovering that AC3D works well both creating and managing models for 3D printing and is a great alternative to large, complicated and expensive 3D CAD programs.
