  ,

  Medium

  and

  Low

• core.Regex

  : Changed from struct to

  core.String

Changed

• algo.automaticUVMapping

  : Now have two new optional parameters allowing to set up the resolution and the padding

• algo.createVisibilityInformationAdvanced

  : Now has a

  level

  parameter, like

  algo.createVisibilityInformation

• algo.decimateTarget

  : Now takes an optional experimental parameter for hybrid memoryless approach

• algo.explodeConnectedMeshes

  : Now has an optional parameter allowing to split connected components along non-manifold edges

• algo.getFittingCylinder

  ,

  algo.mapUvOnFittingCylinder

  : Theses function now take an optional forced direction vector

• algo.remeshSurfacicHoles

  : Algorithm was improved, new parameters were added

• algo.removeOccludedGeometries

  ,

  algo.findOccludedPartOccurrences

  and

  algo.createVisibilityInformation

  : Now can create viewpoints on an hemisphere

• algo.removeOccludedGeometries

  ,

  algo.findOccludedPartOccurrences

  and

  algo.removeOccludedGeometriesFromPoints

  : Viewpoints generation no longer creates a uv mapping of a grid of

  sphereCount

  ×

  sphereCount

  on a sphere (density is higher on the poles than on the hemisphere) but creates a uniform distribution of

  sphereCount

  viewpoints on a sphere.

• algo.removeOccludedGeometries

  ,

  algo.removeOccludedGeometriesAdvanced

  ,

  algo.removeOccludedGeometriesFromPoints

  and

  algo.removeOccludedGeometriesFromViewPoints

  : These functions now take an optional list of occluders

• algo.unwrapUV

  : Now has two new parameters to control solver's behavior

• cad.createLoop

  : Now has a parameter allowing to merge isolated vertices in the loop

• cad.createRevolutionSurface

  : Now parameters defining the starting and ending angles are renamed and used as if they were in radians

• cad.invertFaces

  : Now has a parameter to invert loop orientation

• core.endUndoRedoStep

  : Now has an optional

  deleteIfEmpty

  parameter

• geom.fromTRS

  : Rotation vector should be passed in degrees instead of radians

• geom.toTRS

  : Rotation vector values are now returned in degrees

• material.createMaterialsFromMaps

  : Now returns info on the created material

• scene.createTorus

  : Now has a

  generateUV

  parameter like other

  scene.create___

  functions

• scene.getAABB

  : Now takes an optional parameter allowing to compute more precise AABB

• scene.mergePartOccurrencesByFinalAssemblies

  :

  MergeHiddenPartsMode

  default value is now

  Destroy

• view.refreshViewer

  : Removed the parameters

  frameCount

  and

  forceUpdate

  that were unused

Renamed
