Creo 8
NX - Unigraphics 1980 PRT
Parasolid v33.1
See a full list on our Supported Formats page.
Enhancements
BIM specific shading modes to render views with technical drawing and conceptual drawing styles. Gooch shading and Toon shading are now both available to provide low reflectance shadowing and coloring to reduce photo-realism. Hand drawn style lines can be rendered to produce sketched style.
Native support for Apple Silicon is being introduced in this release. Binary packages for Apple platforms now contain universal binaries that run natively on both Apple Silicon (ARM) and Intel-based (x64) Mac computers for your convenience. Refer to this link for more information on porting your macOS application to Apple Silicon.
New API to set and unset the visibility state of individual face, line, and point elements.
Streaming now works as expected when loading multiple large models simultaneously, rather than streaming them in sequentially.
The speed of Convertor has been improved through the introduction of selectable file compression options Strong (high compression), Default (prior versions) and Fast (high speed). Use the CLI argument --sc_compression_strategy
to specify which to use.
Functional changes
New Selection options include:
Select a root node in the model tree and deselect a leaf node in the viewer with setIgnoreEntityWhenTogglingChildSelection().
Deselect an entire component when picking a non-selected entity of the selected component with setSingleEntityToggleModeEnabled()
The WebViewer.reset() function now resets the model in all cases as described in the API documentation. The previous functionality only reset the model if there was a default cad configuration.
New Model methods have been added related to node visibility. Each sets the visibility of a part given a partId
and line, face, or point Id. The new functions are:
setNodeFaceVisibility()
setNodeLineVisibility()
setNodePointVisibility()
