inclusions

Information about inclusions, their positions, sizes, and shapes comes with the project file containing a model. The information itself is gotten by the external tools.

titleNote

Inclusions can also be created manually in the HP Carbon Oxygen system itself. See Manual Creation of Inclusions Create inclusions manually below.

To access information about inclusions:

...

, do one of the following:


In the Recut mode, on the left panel, overview of the Inclusions section.

On the top panel, click Image Modified Inclusions in polished. The main view goes into the Inclusions mode, the left panel goes into Plans & Scans Mode.

Filter inclusions with QC filter

You can filter inclusions visualization in Scene. This can be done via the Inclusions panel, its QC Filter (Quality Control Filter).

Image Added

Activate the QC Mode button to start using specified filters. De-activate it - all solution inclusions will be displayed without filtering.

The QC Panel applies filters to the model inclusions, such as:

  • Clarity select one or several clarity values from the list - only inclusions with the specified clarities will be displayed
  • Diamond for multiple diamond solutions you can select only inclusions for the selected diamond will be displayed
  • Inside/Outside check if to display inclusions inside, outside the diamond or both
  • Depth of the area where to display the inclusions (works together with  Inside/Outside ) -  use the slider or type in the value in µm

Filters utilize the AND logic, for example, if "Diamond 1", VS1 clarity, "inside" and 90 µm are selected, then only VS1 inclusions within 90  µm area inside Diamond 1 will be displayed.

Note
titleNotes
  • For now, the diamond filter cannot work with nonconvex models.
  • Rarely, some filter combinations may cause the filter to fail, the system shows notification - try other parameters if so.

Use inclusions statuses

...

To change how inclusions affect algorithm work and produced solutions, you can change the statuses of the inclusions.

StatusInstructs an algorithm...May be used for...
Green Status

"You should not do anything to include or exclude these inclusions".

Speeding up an algorithm work by marking the inclusions that you are sure do not affect the result (definitely will be outside or inside potential diamonds).
Yellow Status

"You should exclude or include these inclusions depending on condition".

Automatic show up only the solution with a better price (may be with or without marked inclusions).
Red Status"You should exclude these inclusions".Getting better clarity.
Grey Statuses"These inclusions do not exist". Getting maximum mass.

See the details in the sections below.

...

The default status of inclusion is set automatically due to its clarity group. The approximate correspondence is like following:

Clarity GroupDefault Status

IF

VVS1

Green

VVS2

VS1

VS2

SI1

Yellow

SI3

I1

I2

Red

...

status

Specifying this status instructs the algorithm "You should not do anything to include or exclude these inclusions". May be used for speeding up an algorithm work by marking the inclusions that you are sure are not important.

Yellow

...

status

Inclusions having this status may be included or not included in the solution.

...

  1. takes all the yellow inclusions of the worst clarity group, marks them as red and builds the solution which does not include these inclusions, estimates its price;
  2. takes the same inclusions, marks them as green and builds the maximum mass solution that may have these inclusions inside, estimates its price; 
  3. compares prices; 
  4. selects only the solutions with a higher price; 
  5. makes one step up in the hierarchy of clarity groups and repeats steps 1-4 for it;
  6. compares prices of previous and current clarity groups solutions; 
  7. shows only the solutions with a higher price.

Red

...

status

Specifying this status instructs the algorithm "You should exclude these inclusions". May be used for getting better clarity.

Grey

...

status

Inclusions having this status will not be taken into account during allocation. The solutions are built as if these inclusions do not exist, they are still presented within the produced solutions and affect their price.

Clarity

...

groups

The system automatically assigns the clarity group to every inclusion in accordance with the size of the inclusion. If necessary, you can change the clarity group of the inclusion manually.

...

The setting is available from the main menu, Settings > Default diamond clarity and color.

...

Create inclusions manually

You can create inclusions manually in HPO:

  1. Use the Recut mode.
  2. In the Scene, right-click the model at the position where you want to place a new inclusion.
  3. From the context menu, select the appropriate inclusion option from the list.



    The inclusion will be created.

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 ("Sandwichsandwich").

For a future "sandwich" inclusion you can specify:

Inclusions Visualization - QC Panel

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.

Deleting inclusions

You can delete existing inclusions. This can be useful if some caverns have been added by mistake.
