The system provides the in-house cut workflow which includes the tools and comfortable user interfaces for registering your own in-house cuts from your own designs, sample stone scans, and successful allocation solutions. The workflow is a simple way for both the process of cut registration and subsequent solution allocation, and also provides extended control over the parameters of the solutions. This is achieved by the comfortable user interface for in-house cut registration, as well as adding the new Recut algorithms working with the hybrid appraisers and providing the option of automatic start of Smart Recut basing on the automatically detected best Recut solution.

You can apply the new workflow to any cuts.

For a general overview of the process, see Workflow - in-house cut allocation (diagram)

The In-house cut workflow includes the following steps:

Below these steps are described in an overview video and as step-by-step.

In-house cut registration

This stage includes obligatory normalization of the model you decided to use as cutting, then registration optimal normalization variant as a new cutting.

  1. For the scan, you want to register as cutting, run the "SmartNormalize" algorithm. Several solutions are produced.
  2. From the solutions, produced by the "SmartNormalize" algorithm, select the one you want to register as cutting.
  3. Right-click this solution, and from the context menu, select Register as new cut... The dialog is displayed.
  4. In the Register new cut dialog, if necessary, specify facet types.



  5. Set Cut name.
  6. Click Ok.

Allocation

This stage includes sequentially:

You can execute both steps within one run.

For the Recut allocation within the in-house cut workflow, two algorithms are presented in the system:

To perform Recut + Smart Recut allocation for your previously registered in-house cut:

  1. In Recut mode under Diamond Allocation cut select Algorithm = "19. Single (FixedForm)" or "20. Single (Recut)".
  2. From Cutbook > In-house cuts select your registered in-house cut
  3. Set Appraiser = hybrid appraiser, linked to your in-house cut or MyAnyCut with the profile configured for your in-house cut.
  4. Select the +SmartRecut option. With this option selected, from the two best by price Recut solutions, the SmartRecut will be immediately started.

    Note that the SmartRecut algorithm will run with the latest used options. The latest version of the composite appraiser in addition to others supports Fix Girdle, Fix Crown and Fix Facets options.


  5. Click Run. Recut solutions are added to the list, then Smart Recut solutions are added.

Adding allocation forms

Main article: In-house cut registration

Algorithms are able to run on a single base form (cut itself). Still, it is highly recommended to register allocation forms, especially for the different W:L ratio, as it significantly improves allocation results.

For any registered in-house cut, immediately after its registering or at any moment later, you can add any number of the allocation forms. Each allocation form is a high-quality solution variant for your cut. Any solutions or normalized scans can be registered as allocation forms for your registered cuts.

Registering allocation forms improves the quality of solutions because on running your registered in-house cut, the optimization algorithm will check all the included forms trying to produce solutions well allocated with these forms. This means, the more high-quality solutions you register as allocation forms, the better results you achieve when running optimization with your cut.

Some questions and answers on allocation forms:

To add a new allocation form to your registered in-house cut, do one of the following:

Workflow demonstration and testing

The following elements of the system can be used for testing the AnyCut Workflow:

On figure: 1 - demo oval cut; 2 - allocation forms within cut; 3 - MyAnyCut hybrid appraiser with the corresponding profile.
