SpinFire 11.12.0 Release Notes

Overview

SpinFire 11.12.0 provides users the ability to select Importer Presets for importing files and reworks some of the settings UI. It also provides several new scripting functionalities for users to make use of. There are also several performance improvements and importer updates to Revit, Parasolid, and 2D NX.

Notable Changes

• Importer Presets added.

  • These settings allow users to quickly select different presets to be used when importing files.

• Reworked 3D Viewer Settings layout.

  • 3D Viewer Settings have been changed to a single column with collapsible groups, order of settings has been preserved.

  • Grouped settings by use context. Three settings, “Prevent Thumbnail Creation”, “Static Model Enabled” and “Load Surfaces on Demand” have been moved from 3D Viewer Settings to Importer Settings. The logic behind this being to split the settings between those that must be set before import and those that can be changed afterwards.

  • Calculate Projected Area
