VTube-STEP now allows for different kind of Trim Surfaces now. Older versions only allow for the centroid (average XYZ point) of all points in a solid used to trim.

• CENTROID POINT - Trim/Extend to the average centroid point in the surface cloud.
  
  

• FURTHEST POINT - Trim/Extend to the furthest point in the cloud from the midpoint of the tube centerline.
  
  

• NEAREST POINT - Trim/Extend to the nearest point in the cloud from the midpoint of the tube centerline.
  
  

The new properties column allows for new options to accompany each of the collected objects.

The properties cells will show the TrimSurf datum type.

Right click on any TrimSurf row, then choose Edit Trim Surface Datum to enter this menu (below):

Since the STEP mode calculation engine completely automates the Projection Tolerance, there is no longer a need for the user to set this value.

It is removed from above the Collection grid.

The Projection Tolerance in VTube-STEP now starts with an very small projection tolerance at a 10th of a micron (0.0001 mm, or 0.000003937 inches). If the centerline for the cylinders cannot be solved for, then VTube increases the projection tolerance until it finds a solution.

The Eaton Leonard Laservision measuring center can import CSV (Comma Separated Value) files built in an Excel spreadsheet. This version of VTube can now export to this format. This version fine-tunes the new feature to make the output conform to customer specifications for the project.

The Quick Open dialog now has a pull-down list that shows all the recent previous paths used to load VTube project files or imported solid model files.

Click on the previous path to use, and the folder tree on the left will open the new folder.
