MatterControl 2.22.04 (April, 4, 2022)
Support For Holes
MatterControl now supports Holes. Holes are an intuitive and powerful way to think about designing parts. They create the ability to mark any object in the scene as a negative space. When a hole is combined with another object it will automatically be subtracted.
The hole object can be dragged to the scene and combined with other objects to make holes
Any object can be converted to a hole and it will be subtracted when grouped
Transparent Rendering
You can now set any part to have transparent rendering to help with modeling and placement.
Fuzzy Surfaces
Select any part in the scene, right click it and and 'Convert to Fuzzy Region' in the Modify -> Printing menu. With this tool you can now create a fuzzy effect on any surfaces you want.
Any object can be converted to a region that defines where fuzzy will be applied
Part Settings Object (PRO Tool)
Now with MatterControl PRO you can create settings for a specific part and save them with it. This is tremendously useful when doing commercial printing or adjusting settings that are specific to a single part. Settings are only saved when using MCX files (MatterControls native format).
Settings added to the scene are saved with the design
Additional Improvements
- Boolean operations (combining and subtracting shapes) are dramatically more robust and handle many more conditions
- We now show the output state of Supports, Wipe Towers and Fuzzy objects in property panel
Bug Fixes

- When switching or adding materials the display did not always update
