  • Driving Dimensions 0.2 for Rhinoceros (August 2009)

New:

  • Animation functionality is completely reworked: frames are precomputed in background, bounds for animation parameter are stored in .3dm file, playing and navigation trough the animation frames is now done via traditional player-like interface with a slider. Also, it is now possible to pan, rotate and zoom the model while it is being animated.
  • Default value for a new dimension is precomputed upon its creation

  • Driving Dimensions Manager is now dockable
  • User is immediately informed about unsupported types of constraint's arguments upon its creation
  • Icons for constraints added into Driving Dimensions Manager
  • Command line prompts are now more informative
Fixed:
  • Crash upon animation fixed
  • Highlighting of constraints' arguments isn't lost after switching from Driving Dimensions Manager to the Rhino's working area
  • Hidden objects aren't unhid after animating the model
  • Instability while creating constraints with cylindrical surfaces is fixed


  • Driving Dimensions 0.1 for Rhinoceros (June 2009)

This is the first public beta-release of Driving Dimensions v. 0.1 plug-in for Rhinoceros v. 4.0 (SR5b) on Windows.

New:
  • Supported geometry: rigid canonic surfaces and curves (also included in a polysurface), single points
  • Constraints: Fixation, Concentricity, Coincidence, Parallelism, Perpendicularity, Tangency
  • Dimensions: Distance, Angle
  • Driving Dimensions toolbar
  • Driving Dimensions Manager window
  • Apply Constraints command
  • Animation (via Driving Dimensions Manager context menu)
  • Highlighting of dimensions' arguments
  • Undo/Redo
  • Saving constraints and dimensions in Rhino .3dm file
