As the leaves begin to turn, we’re rotating into something fresh this September too. Our latest update introduces a highly requested feature from many of you. Now, you can create inspection planes on revolving and custom slice planes, giving you more flexibility and precision in your inspection and dimensioning workflows.
Inspection planes on revolving and custom slice planes
Before this release, inspection planes were limited to cardinal (x, y, z) planes. With this update, you can now take dimensions on more complex features and cross-sections in your scan.
These additions to Voyager's measurement toolkit can be useful if you’re inspecting turbine blades or impellers, where custom slice planes help dimension cross-sections curved or irregular components. They're also helpful with cylindrical components, such as batteries, bottles, or medical device couplings, where revolving slice planes assist in taking precise measurements.
More Enhancements
- At times, Voyager might have trouble loading objects in the data panel. Usually this stems from network issues, which interrupt object loading, or because an object is too large to load into Voyager (e.g., a Porosity Analysis that contains a significant number of voids). As we continue to improve Voyager’s ability to handle these cases, we’ve added clearer messaging and suggested actions for how to handle these issues (e.g., reloading the page).
- A few users reported that crop box handles were a bit jumpy. We’ve fixed that issue so that now those handles stay put!
- We’ve added in more graceful network interruption behavior and retries to Voyager Uplink when uploading scans from other CT scanners.
