Enhancements

  • HTML Export. For 64-bit Windows users, Visualize now supports HTML Export. You can select from either of two methods:
  1. Using the HOOPS Publish integration via HIOUtilityPublish. Calling HIOManager::GetOutputHandler() with “html_with_prc” as a parameter value will return a HIOUtilityPublish object.
  2. Directly from the Visualize DB to HTML. Calling HIOManager::GetOutputHandler(const char \* file_type) with “html” as a parameter value will return a HIOUtilityHTML object.

Please note, source code isn’t available for HIOUtilityHTML.

Also, please note that obsolete references to the ActiveX-based HIOUtilityHTML have been removed.

Please note, source code isn’t available for HIOUtilityHTML.

Also, please note that obsolete references to the ActiveX-based HIOUtilityHTML have been removed.

  • XOR emulation for DX9/DX11. Visualize now supports XOR emulation for DX9/DX11. This is enabled by any normal XOR setting, such as Set_Driver_Options_quick_moves_preference . (Visualize has always supported XOR with OpenGL and now supports XOR with OpenGL2, provided you’re using recent hardware.)

Functional changes

  • Visualize now calculates geometry bounding in all cases, so the setting for toggling Define_System_Options_automatic_geometry_boundings in Define_System_Options is now obsolete. Using this setting will have no effect on your application; it should be removed from your application.

Miscellaneous

  • The qthoopsrefapp demo application has been removed.
