Support for Solutions with Arbitrary Numbers of Polished Diamonds

The Fast Swim processes solutions containing any number of polished diamonds. The order of layers in the solution defines the working zone for each polished diamond, where the Bound Swim algorithm is executed.

• When the first layer is moved, Bound Swim runs for all polished diamonds in the solution.

• Typically, each layer isolates one polished diamond from the remaining ones.

• For subsequent planes (second, third, etc.), the working zone remains unchanged for previously isolated polished diamonds, and the algorithm is not triggered for them.

Compatibility with Different Section Types (Layer, Pie)

The algorithm now supports all section types, including:

• Layer: Traditional planar sections.

• Pie: Two planes in one section (newly supported).

Operational Notes:

• Pie sections can only be moved or rotated as a single unit.

• Adjustment methods:

  • Direct manipulation in the 3D scene (mouse controls).

  • Precision editing via the Movement panel.

• Restriction: Angle adjustment between planes within a single Pie section is currently unavailable.

Algorithm Selection Integrated into Main Toolbar

    The AutoSwim algorithm settings (activated after plane adjustment) are now accessible in the main toolbar.

Detailed solution information in the Scene

• In Fast Swim, extended solution details have been moved to the top-left corner.
• Price changes for diamonds and the solution itself are now marked with +/- signs.
• Below a dotted line in the table, you’ll see information about diamonds that cannot be modified when adjusting the current saw.
• This compact summary automatically disappears after 30 seconds.

You can navigate the scene using your mouse. However, for more precise adjustments, you'll need to use the movement panel, which can sometimes be inconvenient.

We'd like to introduce OXOx/OYOy/OZ Oz rotation modificators.

Additionally, the glue point orientation button now puts the glue point not only in vertical position, but exactly at the scene center.
    

Scene context menu improvement

Context menu appears for the currently selected diamond, but now you to click on the diamond directly in the scene to make it active, without needing to select it from the diamonds panel first.

Image Modified

Layer selectable from the panel

Layers are now selectable like diamonds, enabling the use of object movement tools on the selected layer.

Operation "View along sawing direction"

A new context menu item, "View along sawing direction," has been introduced for layers. This command arranges the scene so that the layer becomes horizontal.

Sawing layers thickness settings

An additional column has been added to the sawing thickness table to display the minimum mass value, indicating the interval for the corresponding thickness value.

Image Modified

Sawing parameters

The sawing layers have been upgraded with new data and an improved interface. The "Create sawing data" command in the solutions context menu has been replaced by two distinct commands: "Create sawing layers" and "Generate sawing data."

Image Modified

Here’s the key difference: "Create sawing layers" removes all existing layers and populates the solution with appropriate new layers (similar to the previous "Create sawing data" command). In contrast, "Generate sawing data" simply adds additional data to the already existing layers.
This additional data includes the following: generating half-planes where necessary, creating a glue point, establishing sawing directions for each layer, and developing a rough projection contour (blue line).

Image Modified

The parameters for sawing directions can be defined in "General Settings -> Allocation -> Sawing Parameters."
Image Modified
You can also set parameters for each layer individually by clicking on the "Sawing parameters panel" in the layer context menu.
The available parameters are:
For Plane:

• Points step
• Out step
• Sawing angle
• Sawing direction

For Pie:

• Points step
• Out step
• Sawing direction

For Shaping:

• Shaping offset
• Sawing direction

Image Modified

Here is a brief description of each parameter:

• Points step: The distance between key points along the rough diamond for laser sawing.
• Out step: An additional key point located outside the rough diamond for laser sawing.
• Sawing angle: Controls the sawing direction vector for individual layers.
• Sawing direction: Determines whether the sawing is done on one side or both sides.
• Shaping offset: The distance to the girdle for laser sawing.

To create a shaping, you can use the "Generate girdle shaping" command from the diamond context menu. For shaping sawings, there is additional data provided: a shaping contour around the girdle (yellow line).

Image Modified

Blocking layers

You now have the option to create blocking layers when generating a preplan. To do this, simply check the "Create layers for blocking facets" checkbox and click the "Create preplan" button.
The sawings will be positioned with an offset from the facets. You can modify the offset value in "General Settings -> Allocation -> Sawing Parameters -> Facet Distance".

Pinning Solutions in the Solution List. Rendering upgrades.

We have added the ability to pin solutions in the solution list. To pin a solution, right-click its checkbox; click the same area again to unpin it. The pinned solution remains visible on the scene at all times, regardless of your selection from the list. This is particularly useful for keeping scans (like the main scan) permanently displayed.

When loading a project, the Main Scan is automatically pinned if its processing stage is Rough, Saw, or Bruted. In Recut mode, scans with these stages appear transparently instead of in lines mode—this can be adjusted in the rendering settings, where separate display modes for Rough and Polished scans are now available.

Image Modified

 Image Modified

 Saw rendering has been improved: non-visible parts are now shaded, and the active layer is highlighted in red with thicker lines. For users who prefer solid mode, this option can now be applied to layers(planes) in the Rendering Settings.

Sample Facet Types

When editing the Facet Types of a sample, the modified types are not saved to the sample file by default. However, this feature proves to be quite useful and convenient. Therefore, this functionality has been implemented.

...

1. Dimension “A” - "HEART_GROOVE_WIDTH_MM", "HEART_GROOVE_WIDTH_PC"
2. Dimension “B” - "HEART_GROOVE_DEPTH_CRN_MM", "HEART_GROOVE_DEPTH_CRN_PC"
   
3. Dimension “C” - "HEART_GROOVE_DEPTH_PAV_MM", "HEART_GROOVE_DEPTH_PAV_PC"
   
4. Dimension “D” - "HEART_GROOVE_HEIGHT_MM", "HEART_GROOVE_HEIGHT_PAV_PC"
   

Fixed problems and improvements

• Swim, Ballon and Change Cut algorithms now use correct sawing thickness according to layer general settings.
  For instance, diamonds perfectly alligned to the layer with a thickness of 0.15 mm, corresponding to a rough weighing 8.84ct(between 5-10 ct interval).

• Now the "Open Sample" dialog remembers the selected method, and the next time the dialog is opened, it will be automatically selected.

Preplan updates 

Preplan Creation Improvements

  The preplan creation process has been enhanced and stabilized. The "Create sawing preplan" feature now fully supports half-planes, pies, and shapings, including imported Sarin projects.

New Preplan Creation Methods

  Two additional ways to create a preplan have been introduced: from the layer's context menu, you can select "Make preplan for cutting part" and "Make preplan for part on glue." "Make preplan for cutting part" creates a preplan for the part of the rough that should be cut off by the sawing. Typically, this is a sawing preplan for the diamond being cut. "Make preplan for part on glue," on the other hand, creates a preplan for the remaining rough part. This is the part of the rough, that remains at the glue point after being cut by this layer.
