MatrixGold 3.4
Bug Fixes:
-
Toolbar: Curves: Flip Curve:
-
The Flip Curve icon was slightly larger than the rest, causing a minor issue with switching between the Curve category and any other category. The Flip Curve icon has been resized to fit properly.
-
-
Older Files: Gumball/ViewPort Control Handles (VPCH): Move/Rotate:
-
Some files from previous versions of MatrixGold were not populating the Move/Rotate VPCH. Those VPCH should now show in the Viewport where applicable.
-
-
Toolbar: Curves: Extrude Curve:
-
The last release introduced a bug with Extrude Curve, which prevented it from working with open curves. This has been resolved, and Extrude Curve should work with open curves again.
-
-
Preferences: Status Bar: Status Bar preferences were saving but not populating correctly on launch. Now, those preferences should save and load correctly between sessions.
