(New River Kinematics: Williamsburg, VA) -- New River Kinematics has released SA 2012.03.13, engineering software with surface colorization and offset surfaces feature.

With SA 2012.03.13, users can generate colorized deviation maps based on deviation of points from surfaces. This is similar to the view for a vector group, in which measurements indicating excess material are blue, and measurements indicating too little material are red, except that the colors are interpolated and “painted” across the mesh. This is intended for use as another tool in visually reporting measurement deviation.

Using the new Construct>Surfaces>From Point Groups command, surfaces will now be created taking into account measurement offsets. This allows you to create offset surfaces using any desired offset. This new command replaces the former Construct>Surfaces>From Point Groups (Interpolate) and Construct>Surfaces>From Point Groups (Approximate) commands.
