Creating "Sandwich" Inclusions

For the stones with inclusions, the system now supports the ability to increase in some cases the mass of the solution by specifying that  some part  of inclusion can be included in the future solution. This can be done by marking an inclusion as multi-part ("Sandwich").

Scanning - Applying Facet Marking from Sample

Now during scanning using a loaded sample cutting, a facet marking from this sample is automatically transferred to the created 3D model. This provides an effective way of getting the correct facet classification (marking) for your model and creating the  appropriate reports .

...

  • You can  view the facet marking  of your sample (DMC format). Do one of the following:
    • As you select your sample in Cutting & Method, it is added to the Models section. There click its name, then on the right panel, click Facet Marking.
    • Open your DMC in HP Carbon and then click the Facet Marking button on the right panel. The file can be opened by:
      • Drag and drop your DMC to the HP Carbon window.
      • In HP Carbon, select File > Open, navigate to your folder, then start typing the name of your file. As soon as it is suggested, select the file and click Open.
  • You can  change something in the facet marking  of your DMC sample. To do this, perform the steps:
    • Open DMC and its facet marking as described above.
    • Make changes to the facet marking.
    • Click Export Sample, specify a name for your changes version, and then click Save.
    • Add a new version of the sample to the system, remove the old one.

Industrial Object Models - Build and Facet Marking Improvement

A building of industrial object models (cubes, cuboids, trapezoids, truncated cylinders) is improved.

...

  1. Prepare your DMC sample with the appropriate facet marking.
  2. Use the Scan mode.
  3. In the Cutting & Method section, add  your sample to the list.
  4. Select your sample as a cutting. The system will automatically set the optimal method.
  5. Start scanning.
    The model of your object is built using one of the improved methods and added to the Models section. Its facet marking is automatically taken from your sample.

Trapezoid Workflow

Now you can use the system to quickly obtain important information ( report ) about your trapezoid-like objects:

...

  1. Use the Scan mode.
  2. Use the Cutting & Method section.
  3. Expand the section.
  4. Add your sample. 
  5. If necessary, drag your sample to the Favorites list.
  6. Select your sample to be used as cutting. The sample will be added to the Models section.
  7. To check the facet marking of your sample, in the Models section, click your sample, then on the right panel, click Facet Marking.
    1. Side facets of your trapezoid should be marked as "Pavilion - Main".
    2. If you want to modify the facet marking of your sample, in the Facet Marking dialog make your changes, then click Export Sample and save as DMC.
    3. You will need to add a changed version of the sample and then use it (repeat step 2).
    4. Remove the old sample from the Samples list.
  8. Run Scan or Rebuild. Your new scan is added to the Models section.
  9. With your new scan selected, on the right panel, click Polish Report, go to Open HTML, then select "Illustrated report for trapezoid" and Make Report.

Polish Report Templates

HTML Illustrated for Trapezoid

The new template for Polish Report is added - HTML Illustrated for Trapezoid.

...

This template is an essential part of the Trapezoid Workflow.

Square Cushion - Cutting Type Support and Reports

Now in Polish Report, the Cutting Type list includes "Square Cushion".

...

Also, the Standard Report for Square Cushion is updated correspondingly.

Comparative I3D Mini View - Distance from Reference/Current

For the Comparative I3D Mini View, two new modes are added:

...

Distance from Reference, µm

Distance from Current, µm

  • A - intersection of facet of reference and normal to it
  • B - from all the projections of facet of current onto normal - the one with minimum distance from the center
  • C - from all the projections of facet of current onto normal - the one with maximum distance from the center
  • A-B - Distance from Referenceµm
  • A-C - Distance from Referenceµm
  • A - intersection of facet of current and normal to it
  • B - from all the projections of facet of reference onto normal - the one with minimum distance to A
  • A-B - Distance from Current, µm

Notes on meaning:

  • The less the difference between maximum and minimum, the more parallel the facets of current and reference are.
  • Both values positive means the current is larger than the reference .
  • If Distance from Reference , min is negative (like on the picture above), this means a part of the facet of current should be kept.
  • Distance from Reference max shows "how much should be cut in the correct direction" to get the result.
  • "How much more can be cut parallel to the facet of the current?"
  • A positive value means the current is larger than the reference .


Here is an example:

New Smart Recut Parameters

The new parameter is added to the appraisers used by the Smart Recut algorithms.

SquareDeviation Tolerance

Info
This parameter is applicable to the following cuts: AnyCut.

G1 Galahad

New Features

For the G1 Galahad mode, the new features were added. As this functionality is shared with the Galahad Compass product, see details in the Galahad Compass documentation:

...

  • Workflow improvements
    • Actual Cut and 4 Colors for Steps

    • Order of Work - Stages and Steps

    • Actual   Cut Model

    • Protection of Overcut Area ("lock" icon)

Slope Allowance Parameter

In the Next Step Plans panel, the Allowance section, the Angle parameter is renamed to Slope. The usage of the parameter is temporarily blocked (next step calculation does not consider this parameter) due to technical reasons (planned to be restored in the upcoming releases).

DZ Color Estimation - New Approach and Progress Bar

Previously for DZ Color Estimation , the calculation of Table Color was performed  after  the Pavilion Color for all the solutions - the process could take time but the progress was not anyhow displayed within the system. This caused the cases when the  export to Cutwise  could have been started before the calculation is finished thus the data uploaded to Cutwise did not contain the Table Color information. Now the Pavilion Color and Table Color are calculated together for each solution and the entire progress is indicated:

...

This approach guarantees that during export to Cutwise all the solutions will be exported with information about both Pavilion and Table Colors.

Polish RTF Reports - Views without Invisible Edges with Rotation

In the Polish RTF Full Report, there are Pavilion and Crown views without indication of invisible edges (PAVILION_VIEW and CROWN_VIEW bookmarks):

  1. Open the template you want to change via the right panel > Polish Report > Open Templates Folder, then opening the template file in MS Word.
  2. Delete the bookmark of the image we want to replace.

  3. In this position, insert the string:

    Code Block
    [Width=74;Height=74;PictureID=DRAW_DIAMOND;PavilionView=1;Circle=0;Parameter=0;FontSize=0;X=22.5;Y=90;]
  4. Highlight this string including brackets, then insert MS Word bookmark PAVILION_VIEW1.



  5. At the very bottom of the page, in the small font string, at the end of the string but before closing square bracket, put comma then (without space) PAVILION_VIEW1.



  6. If necessary, to set boundaries for your image, insert columns or/and rows using the MS Word Table tool.


  7. Save changed report template.

    If you want to save changes as a separate template, use Save As - before saving, in the small font string, change the VisibleName parameter.

Cutwise Integration - Upload to Cutwise vs Manual

When using Integration with Cutwise, you have two ways of uploading your data to Cutwise:

...

It is important to remember, that if you use the Upload to Cutwise function in HP Carbon, you should not use the manual approach for the same data, because after Upload to Cutwise is used if you try to manually upload the same models/reports, you will not see the new data in Cutwise - the one previously uploaded from the system with the Upload to Cutwise function will stay unchanged.

New Logo and Icons

HP Carbon now has the new logo:
