[Vzome-users] vZome 2.1 beta 14 released

[Scott Vorthmann]

Hi, again, vZomers,

This release is mostly about fixing some bugs, but there are a few  
new features that you've been asking for, listed below.  If you just  
want to get started with b14, here it is:

As usual, the "v21latest" version will automatically update to this
version, as well:

Importantly, I've fixed several bugs that prevented saved model files  
from opening.  You might have hit these if you used tetrahedral  
symmetry, or H_4 symmetry, or if you happened to create some  
"grayish" struts.

Here are the new features:

1. document "templates": the new "Open As New Model..." command lets  
you use any vZome document as a template... it will be opened as an  
untitled document.  All view and symmetry settings will be as  
specified in the template document.

2. rolled-up selections: now you don't have to "undo" past all the  
individual clicks you made to build a big selection, yet you can  
still undo just the last click to recover from a mistake

3. "invert selection" command: when you want to hide everything  
except for a few parts, just select them, then invert the selection.

4. VEF export: you can export my VEF format, to capture the ball and  
strut coordinates in exact values.

Enjoy!

Scott
