Reports. New Parameters

Shape Deviation

...

In the reports an ideal ellipse is used as a reference for any сuts recognized as oval and lacking own reference shapes.

Shape deviation now works on non-convex faces

SmartRecut controls the new parameter if they are present in the appraiser. There is a comparison of SmartRecut solution with and without using this parameter on the picture. It is important to note that this parameter prevents the continuous deterioration of the girdle shape in the SmartRecut on SmartRecut scenario.

The Shape Deviation parameter can be utilized not only for solutions but also for scans of finished diamonds. To do this, select the scan, right-click on the corresponding cut in the "Cut Book," and choose "Link current scan to this appraiser." The scan can then be evaluated in the Appraiser Editor or Polish Report can be built.

Registration of in-house cuts with ShapeDeviation control

Users can register their in-house cuts with ShapeDeviation control using three new templates "Goodwin_GirdleShape_*". The first registered form will be used as a reference for the ShapeDeviation parameter. Take care in selecting it. For evaluating ShapeDeviation, its Girdle Ratio will be adjusted according to the current solution. In the future, we will enable registering multiple reference shapes and provide tools to assist in selecting reference shapes; ensuring the validity of the user's set of girdle references; creating a girdle reference for the current solution based on the user's multiple references.

One girdle shape reference form does not limit the number of allocation forms. For the algorithms to function correctly, we recommend using allocation forms with an EX grade by Shape Deviation parameters.

Which appraiser tempate to choose?

Image Modified

The green option is recommended for rounded fancy cuts. The necessity and usefulness of the green option for step cuts are still under question, so both green and yellow options are possible for them.

Image Modified AnycutBasic : Goodwin type cuts support AnycutBasic appraiser as well, but with the lack of important advantage of having slope angles in the appraiser.

Image Modified Goodwin* : The appraiser control Crown and Pavilion Slopes. The selection of the most important cut facets is performed automatically. The only advantage of this type of templates over other options is the 2C3P version, which is well suited for rectangular cushions with a two-tier pavilion.

Image Modified Goodwin_Starts* : The appraiser control Crown and Pavilion Slopes. The selection of the most important cut facets is done by the user using gold and silver stars. This prevents the desynchronization of values at all stages of the diamond's life cycle.

Image Modified Goodwin_GirdleShape_Starts* : The appraiser additionally control the Shape Deviation parameter, responsible for the beauty of the girdle shape.
