Eyeshot 12 Beta
Alberto Bencivenni
devDept Software is proud to announce the Eyeshot 12 Beta program.
New Features
- Improved lighting (more vivid colors)
- Environments: ViewportLayout control has been replaced by Model (ex ViewportLayout), Drawings and Simulation controls. Environments are variants of the ViewportLayout control tailored for their specific scope.
- Drawings environment with support for vector and raster views, metric and Imperial units and bidirectional exchange with AutoCAD® PaperSpace. (Video)
- Teigha SWIG. With version 12 we moved from the deprecated Teigha .NET Classic to the Teigha SWIG platform for DWG/DXF interoperability.
- A new, less intrusive, native renderer for WPF control.
- Table entity
- Improved Solid3D entity drawing speed
- Solid3D.SubdivideBy(), Solid3D.Face.SubdivideBy() (Video)
- Fast ZPR. Controlled by Entities.MaxComplexity = 3000 property (it kicks in when the total number of objects in the scene goes beyond this threshold). Use int.MaxValue to disable. Use EntityList.UpdateBoundingBox() to update. No selection, no transparency, no dimensions support yet. (Video, Video)
- Enhanced ObjectManipulator (see ObjectManipulator source code sample) (Video)
- Proprietary file format Thumbnail view (Video)
- Multi-plane clipping (Video)
- Improved LAS file format import. Added export.
- Brep (former Solid3D) read/write from/to DWG/DXF (Video)
- Built-in support for temporary entity drawing (Video)
- dataset assembly replaced by source code
Proprietary file format data integrity is not guaranteed during Beta.
New Code Samples
- PaperSpace
- ComputeDistance
- TempEntities
Breaking Changes
- Changed Solid3D.CutBy(), Solid3D.SplitBy() return type from bool to booleanFailureType
- Solid3D class renamed as Brep
- Replaced Solid.BrepMode property with Solid.IsClosed
Project converter tool currently does only essential renaming.
Documentation
Only the language reference of the WinForms and WPF API documentation is periodically updated.

OK, Go ahead.
Where can I find the Beta?
Under your account if you have a current subscription.
Doesn't seem to be visible in account downloads with active subscription
Also not in mine - that's what I checked first, before asking you Alberto;-)
I will send you the setup via WeTransfer while Tiziana checks your accounts.
Hi Alberto,
great news, I love to read :-)
Also for me, I do not find the download link under my account...
Please check.
Thanks in advance.
Just to make sure, the FastZPR will eventually support the transparency right ?
It will become pretty much a must that new feature as we are going to jump from our usual 3,000 - 5,000 (Meshed and Solids) to 75,000 in 1 viewport.
Also missing link under my account.
What improvements can I expect for IFC files?
Hi EyeShot Team,
excellent work :D
I'm already looking forward to the Graphics improvements in my areas of application.
EyeShot is the best SDK I've ever bought, also the support is great!
keep it up and best regards
Markus
Thanks for the nice words on our hard work! 💪
Yes Francis, transparency will be supported.
Hello,
I look forward using it.
Thank you for all these new great features.
Regards
For ReadIFC there are these minor changes:
- Added import of IfcOpeningElement, they are saved in the IIfcEntities.Openings property as a list of IfcMesh.
- Added a Deviation property, used to build the geometry.
I will certainly renew my license.
Excellent work.
I look forward to new options for IFC.
Regards
Hi Alberto,
the download option is still not visible on our account page.
Can you please again send me a download link for the beta?
Many thanks in advance!!!
Kind regards
Stefan
Hi Stefan,
Serial numbers and download links are provided with 2018 license renewals. I forwarded to you the download link.
Any progress on export to 3D PDF?
Regards
Brian
Hi Alberto
Excellent stuff as always.
Did I read somewhere that we would be able to read dwfx or dwf as well?
Thanks
Martin
Hi Alberto,
do you have plans to bring Eyeshot to .NET Core ?
best regards
Markus
No, sorry.
To Markus Wenzl :
You might want to look at the Frame demo we got a couple weeks back if you have access to it. That's the closest to crossplatform there is right now. It actually run inside a browser.
I don't know if it's only for ultimate licence holder so i won't post the link here as i don't know if i'm allowed. Alberto can probably clear this up
Hi Francis,
No, you can run any edition of Eyeshot on Frame. There are no restrictions.
Hi Alberto
Did you see my question about dwfx?
I was not sure what some of your responses were too.
Thanks
Martin
The export to 3D PDF or PRC file format will be available in the next build.
Export to 3D PDF will be a cool function :D
I hope that export to 3D PDF will support layers and materials?
Thanks
Brian
Hi,
Is there any option released to export multiple layers in pdf format??
or how can make pdf of multiple layers.
No, sorry but layers export is currently not supported. You can follow this feature request: https://devdept.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360007837459-PDF-Export
