LEDAS Ltd., a provider of variational design tools known as Driving Dimensions plug-ins for different CAD platforms, has announced version 1.1 of its Driving Dimensions plug-in for Google SketchUp 3D modeling software. With this plug-in, SketchUp users can parametrically edit their models.
Version 1.1 introduces the ability to apply driving dimensions between geometric objects included into one group. Enhancements of the graphical user interface include a new toolbar button that simplifies the access to online help and improved usability when selecting two dimension arguments with a mouse.
With release 1.1 LEDAS also made a step toward the Mac community of SketchUp users. Driving Dimensions for SketchUp runs not only on Windows 2000/XP/Vista, but also on the Mac OS X platform. It became possible after porting LGS, a variational geometric solver developed by LEDAS, to Mac OS X.
