Hi!

The Beta 2 of TreeDesigner is available for download at:

http://www.algonet.se/~jhubert/TreeDesigner

The Beta 1 will expire with the beginning of march, so be sure to
download the new version!

Here a few snippets from the new features list:
(more can be found at the TreeDesigner Homepage)

- A new Overview Pane has replaced the old
  Create/Modify panel and the old Select dialog.
  It allows for easier access to each element as
  well as for a better representation of the data.

- The leaf-formats are now stored in their own
  files, allowing for userdefined leaftypes by
  adding your own leafdefinition files to the "Leafs"
  subfolder of the TreeDesigner folder.

- There are now three different detail-levels for
  the export to Moray, with the lowest level being
  ideal to import a large number of background plants
  into Moray.

- You can now choose to use a placeholder for pan, zoom
  and rotate, which makes those actions much smoother
  on slow computers or with large models.

- A better support for lefthanded-user has been added:
  Depending on which hand moves the mouse, you can choose
  the shortcut/hotkeys to suit your other "free" hand.


I hope you like the new version, for any opinions, ideas, suggestions
etc., don't hesitate to e-mail me:

Greetings, Johannes.

Hi Johannes !

The new Beta looks great. The new overview pane gives me more
freedom to work direcly with the parameters and it
is a good idea to work with userdefined leafs.

And here is the first question about the leafs.
First I read the tutorial and all seems easy.
Now I want create a oakleaf and give a series of 51 vertics
(num=51) divided by 1 (div=10), to get rounded edges.

The definition for surface is right, I think.

When I start TreeDesigner I get the following alert:

Unexpected end of file in leaf-definition file
the file will be ignored.

Are there any restrictions with num= or div= in veritcs-
description.


name="DZ_Standard"
type=flat

[Exp:Povray]
no texture
Povray\Standard.pov

[vertices]
num=13
div=20
0.0 -0.25  0.0  0.5 //p1
0.0 -0.25  2.0  0.5 //p2
0.0 -3.25  4.0  0.5 //p3
0.0 -4.50  7.25 0.5 //p4
0.0 -3.00  7.0  0.5 //p5
0.0 -4.5   8.0  0.5 //p6-------|
0.0  0.0  12.0  0.5  // midle  |
0.0  4.5   8.0  0.5 //p6-------|
0.0  3.00  7.0  0.5 //p5
0.0  4.50  7.25 0.5 //p4
0.0  3.25  4.0  0.5 //p3
0.0  0.25  2.0  0.5 //p2
0.0  0.25  0.0  0.5 //p1

[surfaces]
num=2
4 = 0 1 12 13
11 = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

When I insert the vertics (p6) and start Treedesigner
I get :
Assertion Failed Path\Leaf_Type_Flat.cpp,Line 203


Greetings Dankfried

The server seemed to be down for quite some time, so please excuse the
late answer!
