These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-cyan-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lattice Modeling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Support for lattice modeling is being extended significantly with each release to facilitate more workflows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Rods of different radius are now permitted in the same model<\/li><li>When combining lattices, several options are provided to keep or delete coincident rods<\/li><li>When combining lattices, an option is provided to snap near-coincident balls together, within a specified tolerance<\/li><li>Facet meshes creation from self-intersecting lattice bodies is improved to handle the resulting disjoint meshes<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-cyan-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><strong>Modeling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Classic modeling enhancements are delivered including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In mid-surfacing operations, neutral sheets can now be created from faces in two sheet bodies, removing the restriction that faces must be from a single solid<\/li><li>When offsetting an edge to fill a gap with an adjacent model, creation of a natural curve extension can now be specified, to avoid creating non-smooth offset edges<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img

enhancements include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Local hollowing, hollowing a portion of a model, can now be performed where the portion of the model contains both B-rep and mesh faces<\/li><li>Wounds created in a model by deleting one or more faces, can now be healed by growing and shrinking both mesh and classic neighboring faces<\/li><li>Mesh faces can now be used in

including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Notch overflow blend operations on mixed geometry now create better quality mesh faces<\/li><li>Face-face blend operations now create better
