Release Notes interiorcad 2021 F3 / F3.1 / F3.2


Corpus / overall dimensions Dimension of Cabinet 3D objects can now be defined (both in dialog "Settings..." and in the palette "Object info") as either overall or corpus (box) dimensions, e.g. to accommodate defining the actual height of the cabinet by a custom plinth height.
Miter 3D / Rabbet 3D Miter 3D now uses the same gestures (click on Custom Part 3D edge to place routing) as the tool Profile 3D. The line-based tool is still available as "Miter 3D (Line)".
Miter 3D / Rabbet 3D The new tool Rabbet 3D uses the same gestures (click on Custom Part 3D edge to place routing) as the tool Profile 3D. The line-based tool Dado / Rabbet 3D is still available.
Miter 3D / Rabbet 3D In order to make the large number of powerful NC machine & tool settings more accessible, it is now possible to use full text search in the NC-Export dialog panes.
Drillings within rabbets Drillings can now be placed within rabbets, e.g. to attach a rabbeted back with additional screws.
Reference edge for Profile 3D Profile 3D objects on plain Cabinet 3D front panels can now be placed either on the outer or inner edge of the front panel.
Menu command "Assign fitting type" Additional options to edit record values associated with the fitting symbol / geometry (F3.1)
