The new Variable Radius options are great! Would be nice to be able to set a point to a radius of 0.00. When used with the linear option, it would provide a conical fillet, for example from one corner to the opposite of a cube. Currently the fillet is distorted unless a radius of > 0.00 is provided (0.01 works).

UPDATE: this fine works for circular fillets, I was using G1 with the example above.

Have a great vacation Michael!

I've got the release notes updated now.

- Michael

Hi Fabien, yeah I can repeat the distortion when using G1 blend - maybe the blend variants are not expecting to see a zero radius and get kind of freaked out when they run into one. That might not be difficult to tune up (famous last words...), I'll take a look when I get back from vacation.

In the meantime if you want a conical result you'll only get that with circular anyway though.

- Michael

And re: linear blend - you generally don't want to leave that on when you're filleting any sort of chain of edges, because you'll get an abrupt change of shape where 2 fillets run into each other.

- Michael

That's a good healthy update Michael - Thanks, enjoy your vacation

Thank you Michael. Nice update.

Michael... Thank you so very, very much!

YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!

I'll sneak in some time today to try these out more, but from what I can see so far, I'm really excited about your new tweaks!


Have a wonderful, well-deserved vacation!

Wow, someone has been busy : )

So wineskin has been the culprit with performance on my mac. Actually, I'm still using v2.52. Have most of you been using the beta? Perhaps I should give it try (now that I've finally got the interface to match my favorite Vim color scheme).

Variable fillets are da bomb! :-)
Looks great. Thanks, Michael.

Results of Make2D are better now. Thank you!

Anyone experiencing long start times with the new beta?
Should I have deleted the old beta before loading this one?
Ron

Maybe you must keep previous version, because generally you will have installed some special scripts or commands!
So an easy way for make some copy past!

Hi Ron,

> Anyone experiencing long start times with the new beta?

No you don't need to delete the old beta before loading the new one, and in fact I'd recommend keeping the old one around just in case there's something wrong with the new one.

Are you on PC or Mac? Do our long start times persist after the first initial load? What happens if you restart your machine does that change anything?

Thanks, - Michael

Right on Michael. Righteous release!

Yes, I totally agree.
Thanks Michael!

Michael,
It's your vacation, man! :-)
It seems normal today - must have been something else clogging up my comp.
Thanks.
Ron

Hello,

Excellent performance improvements on the hidden line removal. I'm down to just a few minutes to do minor cleanups on large images, thanks Michael.
