Well, look what’s new with peel 3d version 1.0.4 (2023-06-07)

peel.OS

• New tooltips for each major step in the workflow (Parameters, Scan, Clean, Merge, Align, Improve, Colorize, Export).
  Click the play button on each tooltip for a video explanation!




• Zoom adjusted with scanning area
• Scanning area changes with Object size and Detail level selected. It can also be manually adjusted in the Advanced panel. Initial scanner zoom will be adjusted in relation to this.


• Mesh properties can now be found in bottom left toolbar
• Triangle count
• Vertex count
• Mean edge length
• Watertight
• Volume
• Area
• Boundary perimeter

• Merge by surface best-fit
• At merging step, the software tries a target best-fit by default. If the best-fit does not converge, it is possible to click the Surface best-fit button instead.

• Tooltip deactivation
• It’s possible to deactivate tooltips in the options menu.


• Remove background
• New methods are available in the clean step to create clipping planes
• Select background (One click background selection)
• Select 3 targets to create a plane

peel.CAD

• Direct transfer to Fusion 360
• Send parametric entities to Autodesk Fusion 360.

• 3D viewer interaction
• Possible to select meshes or entities in the 3D viewer
• Unselected meshes or entities will appear to highlight when hovered over in the Meshes node or 3D viewer.
• Right-clicking on a mesh or entity in the 3D viewer opens contextual menu.
• Possible to select multiple meshes to use Decimate tool in one operation.


• Entity manipulation
• Resize some entities (plane, cylinder, cone) directly in 3D viewer using arrows or points of the 3D manipulator at creation.


• Multiple .p3d files import in peel.CAD
• It is now possible to multi select .p3d sessions and import them in peel.CAD


• New construction methods
• Point by line-circle intersection
• Point by line-cylinder intersection
• Circle by sphere-plane intersection


• New Move object alignment mode
• Allows the 3D manipulator to be placed at the center of mass of the object.


• Cross-section
• New initial plane creation for radial cross section with point and rotational axis
• Now possible to delete curve in the entity detail drop-down panel

• Pipe centerline
• Adding the pipe centerline extension length

Add circles in pipe centerlines; hidden entity which will only be visible once export


• Algorithm improvements
• Watertight remesh
• Better result in a much faster time
• Selection tools now enabled to apply the "Watertight remesh" algorithm on selected triangles.

• Smooth mesh
• Added pre-set based on mean edge length of the mesh.
