If your actual cut is within yellowor red, the step will be marked as "Completed" (grey steps).

If your actual cut is within a grey area, you need to continue polishing - the green area will show how many µm you need to cut to reach the left of allowed yellow.


Order of Workwork

An important principle is the order of work. and related statuses of steps and stages:

Unfinished Stepssteps

Let us say, you did not finish polishing the step, but want to move to another facet and polish it now. Let us consider an example:

Here you did not finish work on the facet #113 (now step 3 - "In Work", but decided to Start work on the facet #116.

So the system follows your decision: work on the facet #116 is now your step "In Work" and you can start working on it. But pay your attention to what happened with #113 - it was split by the Actual Cut mark into what had already been done (now it is "Completed" step 3) and what is still remains to be done: step 9 at the end of the sequence - the work on #113 should be finished there.


Unfinished Stagesstages

The same approach is now used for stages. To finish stage that has unfinished steps, in the list, right-click the stage and then from the contextual menu, select  Finish Stage .

...

This will split the stage into two - one "Completed" (with all steps that have already been completed), and another "Not Started" - at the end of the sequence, with all steps to be completed.


Actual Cut Modelcut model

The " Compass/GPS Actual cut" model is displayed in the solution list. This model is updated each time an actual cut is changed on the faceting step in work. I3D mini and Comparative I3D reports can be built for this model.

faceting stages

To generate the next faceting stage for the selected solution:

  1. G1 mode shows the main scan and active solution (target plan) from Recut mode:

    "G1 Galahad" mode"Recut" mode

  2. To get steps, in the Recut mode, select the solution, then go to the G1 mode, and click the Generate next faceting stage button. The Next Step Plans panel is displayed.
  3. In the Next Step Plans panel, select Facet type, for which you want to generate a stage with steps.
  4. Set other parameters.
  5. Click Generate. The stage and its steps are generated and added to the left panel, to the end of the list.

To delete the stage:

  1. In the G1 Galahad mode, on the left panel right-click the stage you want to delete. The context menu is displayed.
  2. From the context menu, select Delete Stage. The confirmation dialog is displayed.
  3. In the confirmation dialog, click OK. The stage is deleted along with all steps.

You can delete the last sub-step of the step. To do so:

  1. In the G1 Galahad mode, on the left panel do one of the following:
    1. Right-click the step for which you want to delete the last sub-step.
    2. Right-click any sub-step within the step for which you want to delete the last sub-step.
    The context menu is displayed.
  2. From the context menu, select Delete last substep. The confirmation dialog is displayed.
  3. In the confirmation dialog, click OK. The last sub-step of the current step is deleted.

Select initial facet manually

In Galahad Mode, for the selected step it is now possible to manually select the initial facet different from the one automatically calculated by the system. Once manually set, the initial facet can then at any moment be reset to the default one.

Edit allowance

It is now possible to edit the Allowance defined during stage generation. The Allowance can be edited both for stages and for separate steps.

To edit allowance for a step:

  1. Right-click the step.
  2. From the context menu select Edit Step. The edit panel is displayed.
  3. In the edit panel, set the new Depth.
  4. Click Apply. The new allowance depth is set for the step.

If you have a modified allowance for the step, you can Discard this difference and revert this step to the stage standard value.

Allowance can also be edited for the stage. Note that if some steps of the stage have their own changed allowance, applying a new value for the stage will reset all steps, the corresponding warning is displayed:
