Frame Builder V2.4 Release

Frame Builder V2.4 Release
Updates/Fixes:

  • Runs on Alibre Design v28 Build 28126.
  • Fixed a crash that sometimes occurred with rebuilding corners after updating frame members.
  • Changed options in frame rebuilding to allow “Rebuild Broken Corners” or “Rebuild All Corners”. “Rebuild Broken Corners” can be much faster, but note that it will not always recognize broken corners, so please review frames after rebuilding.
  • The “Edit Existing Frame Corners” TreeView now remembers where you were in the tree until closed. This only works when in Contract mode as the TreeView is always expanded in Expand mode.
  • The Update/Rebuild Working… spinner indicator now includes more information about what Frame Member or Corner it is on. Note that it will always show the total Frame Members or Corners even if some are skipped based on Update/Rebuild settings.
  • Increased the deviation to 0.0001 for detecting collinear points as 0.0000015 was occasionally allowing through “collinear” points resulting in incorrect Trim/Extend to Faces.
  • Planes automatically created in frame members for building corners are now hidden to reduce visual clutter.
