Zmodeler 3.1.2 download#

The recent updates as well as the download of uptodate stable build of ZModeler 3 are on a front page.

The website comes up with personal account management and disucssion forums in a bundle. The Helix tool is very alike Circle tool in workflow, but creates a helix/spring with additional options: amount of loops and a total height.The homepage for ZModeler 3 product was launched. An entry-box appears after creation, so you can refine amount of points and radius value(s). When you hold Ctrl key, you can specify any initial position of control point and alternatively can create an ellipse (so two radius values are specified: Base-radius and Up-radius). The circle is aligned to viewport, so it's control points are laid with higher accuracy. The Circle spline creation tool creates a circle given it's center point and a radius. The strip tool can end spline creation then, or can continue if needed. Then ZModeler will ask whether you intended to weld points at given positions, or just snap them (refine positions, so they perfectly match, but do not weld). When you place a point close enough to existing spline point, the potential weld is highlighted with a small purple circle. An Arc tool creates a three point arc spline given a start, end and mid-points.Д®ach of these tools can interactive weld control points with existing splines. Spline is drawn interactively, so you can see changes during creation. Strip tool requires click-and-drag approach when click specifies position of control point and dragging specifies an outgoing curvature of segment. Spline creation tools are on 'Create' tab of commands bar in 'Splines' group. These allow snapping to spline points and to spline curve lines. Snapping - two more buttons added to snapping toolbar: Spline Points and Spline Curves. Merging several sequential control points of the single spline will produce single control point instead of selected. Welding a start and tail point of the same spline will 'close' the spline into looped curve. Weld - merges selected control points (points from different splines can be welded to create a merged/linked control point). Will detach it's merged points from other splines. Mirror, Move, Rotate, Scale - each tool does what it supposes to do.Дetach - can be applied to spline on nodes level. Insert - when applied on manipulators level, creates a spline point under cursor in a given spline. When splines head or end-point is merged to another spline, using a break tool on this point can detach spline, so it's no longer linked with merged point to any other spline (to say, 'Detach' tool does the same).Дelete - deletes spline or spline control point When breaking non-closed spline chain, a new spline is created at break point. You can break the closed (looped) spline so it will have an accessible start and end-point. The following tools can deal with splines and perform specific tasks when applied to spline or spline control point:ДЄttach - merges joined spline into one spline when applied on nodes level (splines should have a shared point already) merges splines into single spline when applied on manipulators level (a sort of 'connect' operation is performed when one point is bridged/connected to another point with new spline segment) - no shared point required to attach this way.Д«reak - breaks up spline at a given control point. Per-spline color assignment can be configured in settings menu (and color is set in spline properties)Дrawing spline direction arrow can be configured in settings menu. Spline and manipulators colors customization via settings menu

User-defined options can be set on spline and/or any control point

Three types of control points (affects incoming and outgoing spline segment): corner, bezier and bezier-corner Per-point segmentation (detalization) or automatic detalization

Shared (linked) control point positions between different splines Splines and their control point have the following features (some should be configured in options): Splines were restored and now available in ZModeler3.
