AC3D 8.3 Beta Available

[Andy]

AC3D is now 64 bit, supports a multitude of import formats and has the new Thicken function. Download a beta today!

AC3D 8.3 is 64 bit
AC3D is now 64 bit so that you can enjoy working on larger models (requires a 64 bit operating system).

Thicken
The new Thicken function (Object menu) adds the powerful ability to turn single layer objects into fully shelled 3D objects with a defined ‘thickness’.



You can choose the direction of thickness (in, out, both) and specify a final thickness for the shape.

Thicken is handy on lines too:


Extrude has now been simplified. Using a combination of Extrude, Thicken and Extrude-edges (Vertex menu), it’s now easier to add extra surfaces without introducing unwanted additional geometry.


AC3D 8.3 imports a huge number of 3D file formats*. Some of the existing file format support has been updated so that models load faster. The number of imageformats has also been extended.


For a full list of other changes, see the ‘changes’ file that comes with the AC3D installer.

Why a beta?
The changes required for 64 bit mean that developers who use AC3D with custom plugins will need to recompile their code to work with this version. AC3D runs on a huge range of hardware but it’s possible that, because of the changes to AC3D, some problems may occur on some computers or operating systems. Please let us know if you have any problems.

Where is the X-Plane plugin?
New 64 bit X-Plane plugins (Windows & Mac) for use with AC3D 8.3 are available here: http://www.inivis.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7032

Will this affect the previous version, if I download it ?

[Andy]

It shouldn't. Just install it in a different location and you can keep both versions.

Thank you.

Could I please get the code, to add to the tcl, that allows me, to copy the custom vector coordinates to an editor such as notepad ?

1. After download I could not "try the new version for 14 days" - because I own an older version?
2. I would very much appreciate if the current final version would include a short cut for "Vertex - Snap to first vertex". This would be worth to pay the full amount for the new version. (I used this function some thousends times...).
Thank you

The Orbiter.msh converter by David Hawthorn no longer works. can this be fixed ?

[Andy]

Hi Uli - what key combination would you like to use for it?


Will look at the trial period not working - thanks - are you on Windows or Mac?

Should be fine: https://www.inivis.com/supercoldmilk...sh_impexp.html


That's a 32 bit plugin but it should compile under 64 bit. Will add to the todo list.

Thanks for your replay. I will suggest Ctrl+Shift+F for Snapping to the first vertex. This would be great.

I could not "try the new version for 14 days"

I use Windows 10.I get the message "TrialEXPIRED..." I can work with the new version, but not save neither export.
I did not find the x-file export option. Is it cancelled in the new version? I need it for exporting my work to
