A new version of Project Refinery is now available for your generative pleasure via the Autodesk Feedback community. It’s a pretty big release – being the first since the launch of the public beta at AU 2018 – and has some very interesting features.
New Features
- Refinery installer
- New sample files
- 10 times faster
- Less computing resources used
- Better initial geometry views
- Smaller geometry storage on disk
- Filtering of designs in parallel coordinates
- Sorting for thumbnail views and table
- Better progress indicators
- Pause and resume for studies
- Refinery Server shutdown occurs automatically on exiting Dynamo
Bug Fixes
- Chinese input names now work correctly
- Fixed error “…does not seem to support WebGL”
Now a little commentary…
I’m happy to see the 3D geometry now being compressed to take up much less space on your hard-drive, as well as the general speed improvements and better initial geometry views.
It’s convenient having an installer, but this currently looks for Dynamo 2.0.2…
