What is it for?
To get plans for beautiful and massy diamondswith the best combination of mass and performance, add your in-house cuts to the system, then bind future plans to them populate them with forms, then allocate plans close to these forms with a hybrid appraiser.
How?
- Add what you consider beautiful as your in-house cut.
- Add variations of forms.
- Bind Allocate future plans close to your forms by a hybrid appraiser.
A hybrid appraiser has both absolute and relative parts:
...
- In the Recut mode, in the left panel, in the Diamond Allocation section, from the Cutbook select "In-house Cuts".
In the cut list, right-click your cut, and then from the context menu select Create Appraiser. The dialog is displayed.
In the dialog, read the information about the template and then click OK. Your new appraiser is created, named the same as the cut. Two profiles are automatically created for it.
Info title Notes * The new appraiser is created by copying the template. As for now, the only available template is the "AnycutBasic_2020-12-09" which is identical to the "MyAnyCut".
* If you previously already created the appraiser for this cut, the system will suggest rewritingit - for the cut, only one its appraiser can be presented in the system.- In the Appraiser section, from the Appraiser list, select your appraiser.
- Select the profile to be edited, then click Show Editor. The Appraiser Editor window is displayed.
In the Appraiser Editor set boundaries for your parameters and then click Apply. For hints on how to edit profiles, see Configuring Profiles here.
Warning Pay special attention that the absolute part must be filled with the parameters corresponding to your cut.
- If necessary, set boundaries for the second profile as well.
- As a hybrid appraiser only works when the linked cut has a good set of allocation forms, do not forget to add these forms to the cut (see details at In-house cut registration > "Adding allocation forms" and some questions and answers on allocation forms below).

| System behavior | Allocation, 1 cut | Process: In Recut mode, in the Diamond Allocation section, you select the cut, then, in the Appraiser section, from the Appraiser list, manually select the appropriate appraiser and Profile, then click Start Allocation. Result: If you selected the wrong appraiser, there may be no results or they can be bad. | Process: you select the cut, then click Start Allocation. Result: The linked appraiser* will be used automatically (and the last selected Profile of it) |
| Allocation, more than 1 cut | Process: In Recut mode, in the Diamond Allocation section, you select your cuts, then manually select the "Lexus_Opt..." (must include selected cuts) appraiser and start allocation. The "Lexus_Opt..." should be pre-configured by an expert (no modifications via UI - only editing as file). Result: If your cut was not described in the "Lexus_Opt...", there may be no results or they can be bad. | Process: you select the cuts, then click Start Allocation. Result: The linked appraiser* will be used automatically (and the last selected Profile of it) for each included cut. | |
| Appraisal of already existing solutions | In the Plans & Scans section, you click the solution, then, in the Appraiser section, from the Appraiser list, manually select the appropriate appraiser and Profile, then click Show Editor. | In the Plans & Scans section, you click the solution, in the Appraiser section, the system automatically displays the linked appraiser. When your switch between the solutions of different cuts, the appraiser changes correspondingly. | |
|
|
* In the system, cuts and appraisers are linked like this:
...
- In the Diamond Allocation section set Algorithm to smart recut one.
- In the solution list, select the "Recut + Recut" solution.
- In the diamonds section, select one of the solution diamonds. In the Appraiser section, the appraiser linked to the cut of the selected diamond is displayed automatically. Its active Profile is displayed as well.
- From the Presets list, select the preset you want to be used.
- Run allocation for the selected diamond. The new "Smart Recut + Recut" solution is added to the list, where Smart Recut is built with the selected preset.
- Repeat configuration for the diamond remaining Recut.
- Run allocation for the second diamond. Now you have a new "Smart Recut + Smart Recut" solution with each SR produced by the new preset.
...
The "gold star" shows which Smart Recut preset of preset will be used for the active profile will be used of the linked appraiser when running allocation for multiple cuts with for multiple cuts with a multi-diamond algorithm with + Smart Recut option. There is a default gold star for each profile of each appraiser working with Smart Recut. Thus, you can skip configuring gold stars - in this case, the default will be used (for MyRound profiles - preset №4preset №4, for MyOval and MyOvalPerformanceWare - №6, for MyAnyCut MyOval and MyOvalPerformanceWare - №6, for MyAnyCut and alike - №8 №8).

- Click Show Editor. The Appraiser Editor window is displayed.
- In the Plans & Scans section, switch to the required solution. The Appraiser Editor window will automatically switch to the appraiser linked with the cut/active profile.
For switching active profile
...
You can switch to the old mode of working with the system where the manual selection was possible (and required). To do that, in the Appraiser section, select the Manual appraiser selection checkbox.
To switch back to the automatic appraiser selection, deselect the checkbox.

- Main parameters of a solution.
- Table processing parameters.
- Reference Safe line parameters.
- Image with the angles of the main facets on the pavilion.
- Image with the angles of the main facets on the crown.
- Image reflecting the process of polishing a table (angle 1).
- Image reflecting the process of polishing a table (angle 2).
The images (6-7) reflecting the process of polishing a table includes information about:
- Poing of touch by polishing disc
- Positions of different planes related to polishing
- Door azimuth
- The azimuth of the table polishing start point.
- The Grind depth table processing parameter (see description here).
The report includes the Rotate Table processing start azimuth to door control (active if the hardware is connected).
...
- Right-click the Brilliant cut and then select Show allocation form for Current Appraiser in solution list. Allocation forms will be displayed in the solution list.
Note that for the Brilliant cut this command considers the current appraiser - before using the command, the appropriate appraiser should be selected. The reason is that several appraisers may be able to work with default cuts - each with its own set of allocation forms. Therefore the allocation forms for the default cuts (including Brilliant) are stored within the appraisers. If you do not select the correct appraiser (the one containing the allocation forms for this cut, the command will be unavailable:
...
- Select the solution.
- Set Algorithm to "20. MEC for round bruting".
- Run allocation. As allocation is finished, in the solution list, the new model representing a bruting radius is displayed.
- In the solution list, select this solution.
- From the main menu, select File > Export > MME for EOS bruting... Set name and location for your MME model file.
- In your bruting software, use the created MME model.

Allocation Solution Panel - Behavior and Order of Sections
...
The Inclusions panel lists diamond inclusions and allows users to manage them. Previously, the system also included a separate QC Panel used for inclusions filtering. To provide a more comfortable way of working with inclusions, these two panels are combined - the QC filter is included in the Inclusions panel and, if activated, affects the list of displayed inclusions.

| Applying filter in the QC Panel affected what was displayed in the Scene, but did not affect the Inclusions panel. | Panels are combined. When activating the QC filter, the inclusions are filtered both in the Scene and in the Inclusions panel itself which makes it easier to locate and select the required inclusions. |
...
To avoid duplication of information, the Diamond Info panel information was merged into the Diamonds panel:
Now all the detailed information about the selected scan/solution you can find in a unified detailed information section. The section name dynamically changes to Scan Name/Solution Nuber (like "Imported Model", "Plan 1", "Plan 2"):

The apply facet types from sample functionality introduced in the previous release have been improved. The major changes are:
...
The AdjacentFacetsAnglesEveryMin parameter previously was available only within the "MyAnyCut" appraiser - now it is also available in the presets of "MyOval" and "MyOvalPerformanceWare" appraisers.
Adding to SmartNormalize
The AdjacentFacetsAnglesEveryMin parameter is also added to the presets of the "19. SmartNormalize" and "19. SmartNormalizeLite" algorithms.
