Check.jpg NEW: END OFFSET POINT MODELS

This feature adds a second end point model of the end point before it is offset.

The extra model allows you to visually confirm that the offset point (orange) is based on the correct datum point (yellow) when a Measured offset is used, and/or a ball probe is used on the end.

In the top image on the right, the yellow ball represents the middle of the ball probe. The orange ball is the projected end point based on the compensation toward the end.

When the two points are within 0.1 mm (0.0039 inches) of within each other, then VTube only draws the final orange ball.

Check.jpg NEW: NOTIFICATION SWITCHING FROM LASER SCANNER TO BALL PROBE and BACK

As of this version if VTube-LASER toggles from LASER to ball probe or ball probe to LASER, it notifies you with a sound and a guide box message.

Check.jpg NEW: SWITCH BETWEEN UNISCAN TO MULTISCAN IN THE SAME TUBE

As of this version if VTube-LASER allows you to toggle UNISCAN to MULTISCAN and back in the SAME tube.

In previous versions, this was not easy to do because the measure setup was good for either UNISCAN or MULTISCAN - but not both. Now VTube included separate setup values in the Measure Setup LASER tab for UNISCAN or MULTICAN. Also, the Separation filter menu has separate values for both UNISCAN and MULTISCAN.

The reason we added this feature is because some tubes have bowed straights that can only be measured with MULTISCAN. (See video 67 in VTube-LASER Videos).

Check.jpg NEW: UNISCAN DCF (DUAL CYLINDER FIT) ADDED TO MULTISCAN

The DCF feature was only available in UNISCAN in the previous version. Now it is used in MULTISCAN too.

This method helps to ensure repeatability of the cylinder measurements on-the-fly using a LASER scanner - even when measuring at the tangent points like infra-fork probes do.

Read details about this new feature here: DCF - Dual Cylinder Fit

Check.jpg Other Features and Fixes

  • We discovered that the laser scanning sound was too quiet for factory settings compared to other sounds. We amplified it in this version.

  • We fixed a minor bug in DIAMETER MultiScan.

  • We removed two unneeded internal checks in DCF (Diameter Cut Plane) that were redundant. (Vector angle check and offset at a distance check).
