TMD Solutions worked hard to fix minor bugs, improve functionality of some tools as well as adding a few new ones.
Within the next few days, there will be quick videos about the new functionalities (such as being able to select your own curve for any profile on the jewellery builders). Here’s the first video highlighting the key new RhinoGOLD features.
Regarding bug fixing, here’s the list of those nasty bugs that have been sorted.
Regarding the minor bugs and a WISH-LIST (that just keeps growing). TMD Solutions are working on it. Those little improvements will be published periodically as a Release Candidate update.
