Overview

When there When there is an extra facet adjacent to the girdle,  GIA and Octonus use different methods there are OLD and New methods to handle them, which defines that define different shapes of the corresponding girdle curve. Later, the points related to the calculation of the stone heights will be searched on this curve. As the different versions of the program use different methods, it is important to understand difference between them.

Note

Currently, the GIA method is used in the system. Octonus values for Girdle bezel , Girdle bone, and Girdle valley are also calculated for testing purposes, but available only via Export Report Data function.

  • In versions up to 5.2.10 - Girdle bezelGirdle boneand Girdle valley are calculated using the OLD method. NEW method values are also calculated for testing purposes, but available only via the Export Report Data function.
  • Starting from version 5.2.10 - the  Girdle bezeland Girdle bone are calculated using the NEW method. The Girdle valley is calculated using the OLD method.

Notes

  • extra facet adjacent to the girdle and meeting at least one of the conditions:
    • with height > 10% from Total Height
    • from pavilion side, with facet area > 1/580 from the total cut area
    • from crows side, with facet area > 1/900 from the total cut area
      ...is not a girdle extra facet (it is a crown or pavilion extra facet)
  • steep girdle extra facet has less than 15° deviation from the girdle plane
  • shallow girdle extra facet - more than 15°
  • Uses real model:
    • steep girdle extra facets are calculated as a part of a girdle
    • shallow girdle extra facets are not calculated as a part of a girdle
  • Uses virtual model built on the real brilliant model by:
    • leaving steep girdle extra facets in their places and calculating them as a part of a girdle
    • excluding shallow girdle extra facets
    • excluding caverns
    • for RBC, in all HPO versions except 5.2.10 - excluding crown and pavilion extra facets adjacent to the girdle
    • when excluding a facet, the neighboring facets are continued until they intersect

See examples and further explanations on the Building Virtual Model page.


...

For these parameters, the normal bookmark set is extended with the same bookmarks with _GIA and  (OLD method) and _OCT in  (NEW method) in their names.

Note

This functionality is currently available only under the following HASP keys:

  • "Developer" HASP key
  • 7-30542
  • 7-30546

...

Therefore, values of default bookmarks are equal to _GIA, that is, for example, GIRDLE_WIDE_BEZEL_MAX = GIRDLE_WIDE_BEZEL_MAX_GIA
