New WIP Release (1.4 WIP 2016-07-26)

We’re pleased to announce the release of a new Work-in-Progress (WIP) version of Orca3D (1.4 WIP 2016-07-26). This WIP will expire on November 1st, 2016.

Please note that this release no longer supports Rhinoceros version 4. This and future Orca3D WIP releases require Rhinoceros version 5.

Enhanced Features:

  • Added manual override for stability criteria evaluation angle limits.
  • Added flat bottom control to developable hull assistant.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed multiple bugs causing instability in the developable hull assistant.
  • Addressed a unit persistence error in developable hull assistant.
  • Improved error handling in cross curves of stability form.
  • Fixed installation location of CommonDataFolder for 64-bit network client.

 

As a WIP, there will certainly be feature additions, changes, or removals before the final release, but this is your chance to give us feedback and suggestions. A few important notes to be aware of:

  • This version of the 1.4 WIP will function only with Rhino 5, and not with Rhino 4. You should have Service Release 10 or later.
  • Only one version of Orca3D may be installed at a time. Therefore, you must uninstall Orca3D from your computer before installing this WIP.
  • No change to your License is required. The new version of Orca3D will find your existing License.
  • Portions of the Help file may not be entirely up to date.
  • This WIP will expire on November 1st, 2016. Either a new version of Orca3D will be released before then, or a new WIP will be released.

If you have questions as you install and use the new release, remember that you can:

  • send an email to support@orca3d.com
  • read through the Help file which is available from the Orca3D menu in Rhino, and on our web site here
