Steel Frame & Weldments
v1.3.2early access — App Store review pending
Fixed
- Vertical members in a vertical frame were swept with the section turned 90° from the rails, so same-group miters did not close.
- Short mitered or butted members (stair rails, small door frames) got a triangular notch at the corner.
- Edit frame did not detect sketch dimension changes; it now rebuilds when the sketch moved.
- Identical members could split into two cut-list rows at 90° rotations.
- Export CSV skipped custom (Profile from Sketch) profiles; Import CSV restores them.
- Miter corners are cut through the real corner of the two sections, so top/bottom-anchored members and two different widths (corner override) close.
Changed
- Section orientation follows the document’s up axis (Y-up or Z-up).
- Profiles and settings moved to a per-user folder (%APPDATA%\VanThanBK\Weldments), so App Store updates no longer wipe custom profiles.
- Info can check for updates and download the newest build (licensed users).
