New features in KernelCAD 2.4

In this version we have added a new functionality layer called Direct User Access to KernelCAD components. It gives ability to access and edit the model at runtime by the end user via context menu or key shortcuts. This way useful functionality is added without any programming by the application developer. 

Context menu of KernelCAD components has new Advanced submenu, which gives access to surface modification and other commands.

Measurements available via  Direct User Access allow obtaining distances between selected points and coordinates of selected points. Measurements can be added to the scene as 3D items and edited at runtime.

New mesh editing functionality allows runtime modifications of surface. 

Line operation available from context menu allows quick definition of free-form curves on surfaces of objects.

Surface Cut operation allows quick removal of parts of surface and trimming of edges

Boolean Operations have been improved to handle marginal and irregular types of objects and cinfigurations. New eMotion sample demonstrates advanced usage of Boolean Operation in simulation of CNC machining.

New CAM 3D effects are useful for animation of machining / cutting processes.

2D mode of KernelCAD has a number of improvements, one of which is ability to automatically generate and optimise layout of dimensions on all four sides of the drawing
