Main Features
AnyCut Workflow
AnyCut Composite Appraiser
The AnyCut relative appraiser ("MyAnyCutOpt | MyAnyCutRelatve") has been transformed into the "MyAnyCutOpt | MyAnyCut" Composite appraiser. The new appraiser combines relative and absolute appraisal of the created solutions so that if you are aiming to get some grade, both absolute and relative parts should have at least this grade, which means the algorithms will be searching within the intersection of the relative and absolute values.

Appraisers for Cushion
For AnyCut Workflow, two new appraisers are added - both for working with the Cushion cutting:
...
- Relative + Absolute (default)
- Relative only
- Absolute only
|
|
SweetLine for AnyCut
By analogy with the SweetLine parameter for Brilliant and Oval cuts, the system now allows working with SweetLine for AnyCut. Thus the SweetLine parameter is now presented additionally in the following appraisers:
...
- Show allocation forms of your cutting as described here.
- Right-click the appropriate allocation form and select Sweetline anycut: set first point of line.
- If necessary, select another allocation form and select Sweetline anycut: set other point of line .
The selected points are marked in the Allocation column as "SL1" and "SL2".
Smart Recut AnyCut - Using Girdle Extra Facets
Now when using the "19. SmartRecut (Brilliant, Oval, AnyCut)" algorithm with the "MyAnyCutOpt | MyAnyCut" composite appraiser, you can enable the Allow Girdle Extra Facets option. The option is used to enlarge the mass of the solutions by instructing the system to produce the extra facets if possible.

Working with DM-Xray (DMX) Files
Opening DMX Files
The system now supports importing DMX files created in DM-Xray. For more information about DMX files, see "Protected DMX export" in DM-Xray 1.0.0.1 "What's New".
Importing DMX Models - Using Recognition and Centering Model
On importing DMX models (via File > Import), now the Model matching preview dialog is displayed:
...
- Use recognition or
- If you do not use this option you can Center model if necessary
QC Panel - Inclusions Visualization
Now you can filter inclusions visualization in Scene. This can be done via the new QC Panel (Quality Control Panel), available in the Recut mode, on the left panel.

New Algorithm - "20. Single (Recut)"
The new "20. Single (Recut)" algorithm is added to the system. The new algorithm is the improvement of the "19. Single (Recut)". The "20. Single (Recut)" is intended, like its predecessor, to be used for the solution allocation within AnyCut Workflow (see "Allocation" section for details). The algorithm is expected to produce better solutions than the "19. Single (Recut)" - during the testing period both algorithms will be presented in the system. On success testing, the "20. Single (Recut)" will replace the "19. Single (Recut)" and in prospect also the "13. Single (Rough)" algorithm.
Other Features
Facet Marking
Improved Integrity
For more comfortable manual facet marking, now Tier, Type and SubType depend on Element and Type - only values making sense for the selected Element/Type are available. Previously you could select any Type-SubType for any element and Tier where it was inapplicable which led to mistakes.
Notification for Cuttings without Facet Marking
Now in the Recut mode, in the Cutting list section, if your cutting does not have a facet marking, it is marked with the 
icon. On mouseover, the following message is displayed: "Cutting does not have Facet Marking. Please, register as new cutting, set Facet Marking during registration."
...
See detailed description on how to resolve the problem in Troubleshooting: Cutting Does Not Have Facet Marking
Smart Normalize - New Presets with Custom Facet Marking
The “19. SmartNormalize” algorithm has its own set of presets independent of appraisers. Now, this set is extended and includes new presets. New presets take into consideration additionally or only a custom facet marking (CFM) of the model while the old one worked only with the symmetry axis. Where CFM is taken into consideration, the facets from the same CFM group will obtain the same Slope Angle.
...
- For the cuttings with 1, 2, 3 or 5 symmetry axis, the old "Sym" presets work fine.
- For the cuttings with 7 or 11 symmetry axis or in case of problems with the automatic detection of symmetry axis, "only CFM" presets are good.
- For the cuttings with 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 symmetry axis the best results will be provided by the "Sym"+"CFM" presets.
MyRound Appraiser
New Commercial SweetLine Profile
For the "MyRound | GIA Facetware + MyRound" appraiser, the new MyRound_Commercial_SweetLine profile has been added.
...
| MyRound_Commercial | MyRound_Commercial_SweetLine |
|---|---|
| Parameter ranges statistically match the brilliants produced by the large manufacturer. | Allows getting a result similar to MyRound_Commercial, but with better optical performance due to narrowed limits for the SweetLine parameter. |
H&A Profile - New Boundaries for SweetLine Parameter
To obtain more solutions with an excellent Hearts & Arrows pattern, in the "MyRound | GIA Facetware + MyRound" appraiser, for the "MyRound_H&A" profile, the limits for the SweetLine parameter have been changed.

New "MyRound_H&A 5ct+" Profile
To create better solutions for the big (5ct+) stones, under the "GIA Facetware + MyRound" appraiser, the new "MyRound_H&A 5ct+" read-only profile has been added.
...
- StarLength EX set to 45-55 (istead of 42.5-57.5)
PavilionPainting EX set to 1.5 degrees (from 2.5)
Symmetry parameters have been narrowed
Expand title Show... 
All these changes aim to produce highly symmetrical solutions with correct proportions for the big stones.
Smart Recut
Extra Facets - Mechanism Improvement
For Smart Recut, the mechanism of how the girdle extra facets are created has been improved. The change is how the position of the extra facet is defined. The improved extra facet positioning function allows getting solutions with the larger mass.

Project: ef_101ct_test.ox2z, profile profile_test.txt. Note Within the project:
|
| Recut | Old Mechanism | New Mechanism | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mass, ct | 0.9623 | 1.0057 | 1.0110 |
| Front Side |
|
|
No extra facet here. The better extra facet is created on the back side. |
| Back Side |
|
In this example, an old mechanism does not see any potential for the extra facet creation on the back side. |
Extra facet providing more mass increase is created on the back side. |
Using for Multi-Diamond Solutions from Rough
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
Options works only for RBC properly for a now. |
Using Smart Recut for the multi-diamond solutions produced by the "13. Cascade-2M" algorithm from the rough stones is now made more user friendly. The work is now performed as follows:
- Open your rough model.
- Produce multi-diamond solutions with the "13. Cascade-2M" algorithm.
- Select the solution, select one of the diamonds inside it.
- Run Smart Recut. The new solution is added to the list. The previously selected diamond is transformed by Smart Recut.
- Select your newly produced SR solution, select the second diamond inside it.
Run Smart Recut again. The new solution is added to the list. Now both diamonds are transformed by Smart Recut comparing to the initial Recut solution.
Note While transformed, both diamonds still remain in their initial stone areas.
Cascade Algorithm - Configuring Sawing Layer
The "13. Cascade-2M" algorithm produces the solutions containing two diamonds and a sawing layer between them.
...
In HP Oxygen, in the solution list, the Diamonds section for the selected solution (the solution includes 2 diamonds), the sawing layer is listed, its thickness in mm is displayed.
I3D Mini View - Average Parameters
In I3D Mini View, the Average Parameters table is now displayed by default (corresponding Average Parameters option is selected)
Standard Report - Displaying Grades for Cushion
In the Standard Report now, the grades for the Cushion cutting are displayed, including separately for Absolute and Relative parts of appraisers. This is available for the following appraisers:
- CushionRectangular_Opt
- CushionSquare_Opt
- MyAnyCutOpt appraisers
