Previous versions would only unbend around straight one. Now we allow you to anchor the unbending in any straight.

Click on the image below to see a video of how this works.

This window lets you find any true or normal orientation for any line or bend in any model.

(Note that the video shows VTube-LASER. The feature is the nearly the same for both STEP and LASER mode - except there is only a MASTER tube in STEP mode):

This window lets you transform the orientation of any bend to true to the XY plane. You can also transform the tube so that any straight is aligned with the X, Y, or Z axes.

This is different than changing the orbit - which just rotates around the part. This actually rotates the part to the XY plane by changing the part centerline coordinates.

Now you can make any component or collected item invisible on the screen without deleting it. You can also make the imported model invisible without deleting it.

When parts of models are invisible, then a new yellow banner displays at the top of the viewport.

The visibility is controlled with a new Visbility column in the Collected and Constructed features grids.

Now you can query distances between any two points in the viewport. Turn the diameter off, then open the Dimension / Query window. Then select any two points on the screen and press the "Query 3D Information" button.
