Bricksmith 2.5 adds the following features:
  • Multi-threaded file parser (10.6 64-bit only)
  • Inlined primitives drawn with faster optimized structures
  • Direct primitive vertex interaction
  • Cursor-centric zooming
  • Supports 3DConnexion mice for part orientation
It also fixes the following bugs:
  • Fixed situation in which all viewports could disappear
  • Fixed preserving perspective/orthographic view between launches
  • Magnification trackpad gesture is smoother
Bricksmith 2.5 offers several more speed improvements; notably, it completely expunges the obsolete and slow rendering method which was hitherto used to draw inlined parts. Models which use inline parts could see substantial improvements. (Datsville is a good example.)

Also new to Bricksmith is the long-awaited ability to reshape primitives using onscreen handles, rather than typing in vertex coordinates.

Bricksmith requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later, and may be download it at http://bricksmith.sourceforge.net/. It is both Intel and PowerPC native.

Sincerely,
Allen Smith
