[xSergio74]

Hi again,
many updates in these days: hoping not boring you too much  :)

The last update of the application is available as usually from http://sr3dbuilder.altervista.org/
It does not contains many news, but just a few but necessaries fixes.
The only significant new is the ability for unregistered users to try the STICKER feature by adding up to 2 sticker to their models.
Loading model with more sticker will causes only first 2 sticker being displayed.

Following the list of what is changed.

Enjoy

Sergio

0.7.3.17 - Changes to previous version (2012.08.29)

Fixed
- Parts with a filename ending with 'H' were not displayed at all
- Connection snapping prevents some parts to correctly align
- Studs connected to a transparent part were incorrectly hidden by the application
- Modifying a Flex do not updates its boundaries box causing problems in reselecting it

Changed
- Unregistered users can add up to two stickers to model to evaluate program feature
- Selecting parts should now be a bit faster due to code optimization
- Updated tire manager association

   Refer to the following video for detailed instruction on how to use it

Fixed
- Better part positioning when using Alternative UI (really recommended now)
- A lot of changes and fixes in hinges managements. Now the 8258 robotic arm is working !!
- Racks movevent are sometimes along a wrong direction
- Instruction Miner does not always shows all controls
- Occasionally selecting hidden grouped parts causes application crash
- Using State Buttons in Animation console cause application crash when loading a saved model

Changed
- Updated available part library
- Selecting parts should now be a bit faster due to code optimization

And here are the two videos:
1. DrawBrickMode Instructions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpU3Ioip3dQ#

Here I'm to announce the latest new release of my application.
Official web site: http://sr3dbuilder.altervista.org/

It takes by far much longer than what I expect, but it worth the waiting!!
Here is a pair of videos to show what I'm talking about:

A lot of fixes and some major addiction are available. Here is a list of changes.
Please read carefully for what pneumatic parts are currently supported. More to come...

Fixes
- Drawbrickmode: Slope parts are only partially displayed
- Extra unuseful connection added to Axleholes
- Picking a brick can cause wrong group assignment
- A lot of Pneumatic parts fixed and technic parts cleanup
- Some unwanted parts keep sliding in animation
- Pin with bush was incorrectly managed causing wasting time in animation computation
- The ClearConsole button has no way to cancel the operation
- The Bump Mode option in Animation Console was not saved in model
- Application crashes when loading a model if it has a switch ring (part 6539) not connected to an control handle used in AnimationConsole
- Restoring group view in big models can cause crash when hovering with mouse over model
- Starting an animation AnimationConsole without starting a classic animation before causes nothing to happen or application crash
- Locked Block in Animation Console was not correctly loaded from a saved model
- In animation, all parallel translation keep moving together
- Resetting animations does not reset flexible parts
- If you try to save model in the application folder you can fall into an infinite loop
- Towbar steering has a little wrong movement when used with shock absorber
- Towbar steering could hanging when mixing steer and shock absorber
- Sloped shock absorber were not having correct slide length

Added
- Major addiction: management of some pneumatic parts
    . flexible tubes and air splitters
    . switches (input from central and exit from lateral connections only)
    . small, medium and big pump (not connected to motor)
    . small pistons only
    Pistons speed is still not correctly managed. Be patient...
- Hinge solve now can connect pneumatic pistons   
- A marker showing where DrawBrickMode starts
- Alt + mouse wheel moves selection a whole brick up/down (24 instead of 8)
- Latest lDraw official update has been included
- Many technic parts addiction to Mirror List

Changes
- to easily connect a piston to engine cylinder do the following:
    Enable Alternative UI (by pressing <U> key)
    align piston to cylinder moving mouse and holding LMB pressed and then release it
    correct orientation by pressing keys (you cannot click the pivot arrows while in UI) to rotate piston (don't mind if piston will move following your cursor)
    hoove to the ball over the rod to connect the piston
    Easyer to do than to explain. Try it!
