Cleave 1.5 is out, free for everyone who owns Cleave. Here is what is new.
 Dowels A round hole in each piece for a pin printed apart. Export writes the pins too. |
|
 Rod channels A channel for a reinforcing rod through every piece. The panel gives the length to cut. |
|
 Packed plates Print View packs the pieces onto as few plates as they need, one 3MF per plate. |
|
 Parts From Materials Take the parts from the model's materials instead of the scan. The model needs several materials. |
|
 Simple mode Every stage's basic controls in one panel, in a lightly redesigned sidebar. |
|
Leave Open Cut without a cut face: one clean edge loop on each piece, to model the joint by hand. |
|
IMPROVEMENTS PAINT Shift+Wheel resizes the brush; the brush stays fluid on dense models. | | | SEAMS Seam From Loop follows the cursor live, even on dense models, and cutting a dense model is faster. | | | CONNECTORS Moving or resizing a connector stays fluid, live booleans stay in place until you let go, and Apply is faster. | | | PARTS Scan is faster on dense models, and Split All Parts at Once sits at the foot of the Part Finder. | | | SEAMS Extrude has no depth limit, says why a depth does not fit, and previews faster. | | |
|
|
FIXES SEAMS On a Mac, Edit Seam Points shows the seam's points again (Blender 5.1 and later). | | | CONNECTORS A model painted per vertex no longer stops Split All Parts at Once; on a Mac, the Rod Channel's end handles show again and connector outlines keep their thickness. | | | PARTS Ctrl+Z after Split All Parts at Once gives the parts back as they were. | | | PRINTER On a Mac, Print View's plate outlines keep their thickness. | | | PAINT On a Mac, the brush circle and the lasso keep their thickness. | | | SEAMS Extrude accepts jagged and steep seams that fit, a plug it cannot build is refused before the cut. | | |
