The system provides the AnyCut workflow which includes new tools and comfortable user interfaces for registering your own new cuttings from your own designs (ascii, dmc), sample stone scans and successful allocation solutions. The new workflow significantly simplifies both the process of cutting registration and subsequent solution allocation, and also provides extended control over parameters of the solutions. This is achieved by providing the new user interface for user cutting registration, as well as adding a new Recut algorithm paired with the relative the composite appraiser and  and providing the option of automatic start of SmartRecut basing on the automatically detected best Recut solution.

User Cutting Registration

Main article: User Cutting Registration

This stage includes obligatory normalization of the model you decided to use as cutting, then registration optimal normalization variant as a new cutting.

  1. For the scan, you want to register as cutting, run the "18. SmartNormalize" algorithm. Several solutions are produced.
  2. From the solutions, produced by the "18. SmartNormalize" algorithm, select the one you want to register as cutting.
  3. Right-click this solution, and from the context menu, select Register as new cutting... The dialog is displayed.
  4. In the Register new cutting dialog, if necessary, specify specify Facet Marking.

  5. Set Cutting name.
  6. Click Ok.

The latest version of the system allows executing both steps within one run.

For the Recut allocation within AnyCut workflow, two new algorithms are added to the system:

  • 19. Single (FixedForm) - is intended to produce solutions in maximum correspondence with registered forms and limited by these forms number. Better to use when there is a number of registered forms and you want to stick to them. See detailed description of allocation forms in the "Adding Allocation Forms" section below.
  • 1920. Single (Recut) - is  is intended to produce solutions for forms and then search additionally beyond them (but in the limits specified by the appraiser). Better to use for searching for larger mass, taking into account that some fixed form solutions may be excluded from results if the algorithm finds better solutions.

To perform Recut + SmartRecut allocation for AnyCut with your previously registered cutting:

  1. Set:
    1. Algorithm = "19. Single (FixedForm)" or "1920. Single (Recut)"
    2. Appraiser = MyAnyCutOpt | MyAnyCutRelativeMyAnyCut (aka composite appraiser) or one of the composite Appraisers for Cushion)
    3. Cutting list via Cutting List > Client cuttings = your registered cutting

  2. Select +SmartRecut option. With this option selected, from the two best Recut solutions, the SmartRecut will be immediately started.

    Info

    Note that the SmartRecut algorithm will run with the latest used options. The latest version of the Relative composite appraiser in addition to others supports Fix Girdle, Fix Crown and Fix Facets options.


  3. Click Run. Recut solutions are added to the list, then SmartRecut solutions are added.

Adding Allocation Forms

Main article: User Cutting Registration

Info

This step is optional as AnyCut is able to run on a single base form (cutting itself). Still, it is recommended to register allocation forms, especially for the different W:L ratio, as it significantly improves allocation results.

...

  • To add a new allocation form from a scan:
    • For the scan, you want to register as the allocation form, run the "18. SmartNormalize" algorithm. Several solutions are produced.
    • Among the solutions, produced by the "18. SmartNormalize" algorithm, right-click the one you want to register as the allocation form.
    • From the context menu, select Add to allocation forms...The dialog is displayed.
    • In the Add to allocation forms... dialog, from the Cutting list, select the registered cutting, you want to add the allocation form to.
    • Facet Marking from the selected cutting is automatically applied to your new form. If necessary, adjust the Facet Marking.
    • Set Form name.

    • Click Ok.
  • To add a new allocation form from a solution:
    • Right-click the solution you want to use as an additional allocation form.
    • From the context menu, select Add to allocation forms...The dialog is displayed.
    • Further steps are the same, as described above for the normalized scans.

Workflow Demonstration and Testing

The following elements of the system can be used for testing the AnyCut Workflow:

  • Under Client cuttings, the "Oval_C32P24_Shifted_NBT" cutting is presented.
  • Corresponding profile under the AnyCut composite appraiser ("MyAnyCutOpt | MyAnyCut"). The cutting contains a number of allocation forms.
