Changelog

[2025.7.3] - 2025-12

Fixed

• Badly imported surfaces in Alias files

[2025.7.2] - 2025-11

Fixed

• Badly imported obj file
• Duplicated material at FBX export

[2025.7.1] - 2025-11

Added

• scene.getPartOccurrencesGroupedBySimilarity

  Group all part occurrences following similarity criteria controlled by the function's parameters.

Changed

• scene.separateSelection

  : Now takes an additional optional parameter: createSingleOccurrence, true by default. When true, it creates a new occurrences with an identity transform, placed under root, and containing every polygons selected. When false, it will create an occurrence per part containing a selection, positioned at the same place in the tree. Consequently, the function now returns a list of occurrences instead of a single occurrence.

Fixed

• Missing animation in USD import
• Crash with setMeshVertexColors
• Execution stopped when baking with Lines/FreeVertices
• CATDrawing format typo in format list

[2025.6.1] - 2025-11

Added

• scene.getFinalPrototype

Deprecated

• scene.findDuplicatedPartOccurrences

  will be removed in the next major release. Workaround is to use

  scene.getPartOccurrencesGroupedBySimilarity

  and remove each first element of a set of duplicates containing at least two occurrences.

  scene.removeSymmetryMatrices

  on Autodesk alias files
• Material assignation on lines

Viewer properties

• UseSSGI

  VeryHigh

  ,

  High

  ,

  Medium

  and

  Low

  . Default is

  Low
