Release of FreeCAD/Croquet 0.2.1
Written by Kayef on August 14th, 2008I have just released a new version of FreeCAD/Croquet namely ver 0.2.1. You can get the Monticello package here or visit the downloads page. For instructions on installing, view this page. The list of changes is below:-
- New 3D axes
- Cube and Cylinder are now buffered for smoother rendering
- Face selection enabled for marker insertion
- Wireframe and solid view now available
- The size of the tree is now fixed at 20% of the total world width and the height is fixed to below the menu bar right down to the bottom of the world morph.
- The size of the tree changes and keeps its aspect when the world morph is resized.
- A lot of empty tree node errors fixed. If you find any, please let me know.
- Right-click on tree nodes to show pop-up menu added (only for MyRectangle and MyCircle).
- Fixed error of collapsing on empty collection when a child node is still selected.
- The avatar now moves smoothly using the keyboard controls (w,a,s,d…etc) without needing to wait for the OS key repeat to happen.
- Going forward with ‘w’ key will no longer have avatar blocking your view in first person mode.
- More than 1 key can be pressed now for diagonal movement e.g. w+d .
- Holding shift key when clicking and dragging on a cube will allow the user to move around the cube in a circular motion for full body view.
- Input field on windows now accept changes and stores the value when text is modified. Previously, the user had to hit enter or tab before the value is accepted.
For the face selection, you can unselect by hovering the mouse over the solid and hitting the Esc key.
To change the view to wireframe or solid mode, select the assembly from the tree menu and choose the view mode under ‘View’ in the menu bar.
All feedback on this release will be greatly appreciated.
