• Object Layer Workflow Adjustment:

  • This change will affect object layers, materials, and current workflow assumptions.

  • Previously, Graph Objects (objects created from MatrixGold Dynamic Commands) that have had their layer assignment changed from their non-default layer would revert the change if an update was applied to the object.

  • Example:

    • A Gem is created and appears on the Gem 01 layer.

    • The Gem is changed to the Gem 02 layer.

    • The Gem’s size is changed, and when complete, is redrawn on Gem 01 layer.

  • This workflow allowed ease of use in regard to Layer materials, rendering, and the ability always to draw certain stones on specific layers.

  • i.e., a Pearl will always, by default, draw and be assigned a Pearl material.

  • With this update, Graph objects that have had their layer assignment changed from their non-default layer will not revert the updated object to their default layer.

  • Example:

    • A Gem is created and appears on the Gem 01 layer.

    • The Gem is changed to the Gem 02 layer.

    • The Gem’s size is changed, and when complete, is redrawn on the Gem 02 layer.

  • This workflow will allow users that organize objects based on layer not to have to repeat the action with every update. Though now, materials will no longer apply “smartly” - A Pearl may or may not be on the correct layer, using the correct material, so could appear as with a Diamond material.

• Updated Cathedral Ring Rail Collections with updated tooling.
