What we've changed
We have added a new tool called Straight Line Erase to FreeForma. This tool allows users to erase in a straight line, similar to the draw line tool. Additionally, we have restyled the tool palette for a better user experience.
How it affects you
If you are a user of FreeForma, this update provides you with a more efficient way to erase on the platform. With the Straight Line Erase tool, you can now erase in a straight line and save time. The restyled tool palette also enhances the user experience by providing a more visually appealing and easy-to-use interface.
How to use it
To utilize the Straight Line Erase tool in freeForma mode, select the tool from the options provided and choose two points on the area that you wish to erase. The tool functions in the same way as the draw line tool, except that it erases instead of drawing. You can access the redesigned tool palette by clicking on the tool icon on the left-hand side of the screen.
In both freeForma and autoForma, a new warning popup now appears at the start of the Fit & Draw validation step. The popup serves as a reminder to check the dimensions of the splints to ensure that there is adequate space to add the closing system before proceeding to the next level. This step is crucial because if users exit the level and subsequently realize that there is no room to accommodate the beltloop on the splint, they will have to start the entire model again from scratch.
With the automatic function of Autoforma, you can now easily create models for W1 and W2
