RD8 Changelog

Intermediate Calculations

You can now slide out a panel "Intermediate Calculations" to break down complex calculations into bite size-pieces. You can define new variables on the fly and use them in other calculations.

Interface archetypes shown in the 3D viewer

An "Ideal Interface Illustration Gizmo" now appears next to the coordinate gizmo. It represents an illustrations of the ideal constraint-set.

Parameter Edits from Parameter Database

Added step to preview impact of changing parameter values (like when publishing a draft from a calculation).

3D Viewer: View to Normal + Roll

Added “View normal” button to the cross section controls that aligns camera to the normal of the cross section plane.

Added possibility to roll model along the screen normal (Alt + right-click + drag)

Extended calculation formula error tooltip to show both expression (like unmatched parentheses) and evaluation (like division by zero) errors, highlighting where in the formula the problem is.

Added functions/mah operators nonneg, nonpos, and abs to calculation formula.

Furhter fixes:
- Numpad Enter now triggers save
- No longer possible to insert linebreaks that cause calculation to fail
- Decreased size of help tooltip
- Element now shown again in parameter suggestions

Added option to “ignore” a constraint, which removes the constraint from the detailed analysis without adding an unclarity

Renamed “negligible” constraint to “insufficient” to better convey its intent: constraints that are present in the geometry but insufficient to actually constrain in the real world
