This video provides an overview of the key new features and improvements introduced in the VG Studio Max 2025.1 release and its related products. The presentation highlights significant enhancements across various aspects of the software, including project navigation and reporting through "Object specific views" which link visualization settings directly to project objects. It also introduces "VG trainer," a new standalone product enabling users to train custom deep learning segmentation models. Further updates include the addition of interactive 3D color overlays for geometric tolerances in reports, enhanced multi-selection capabilities for CAD faces, new cylindrical and spherical coordinate options in the fit point dialogue, and a refined method for fitting regular elements based on source geometry fit points. The video demonstrates how to access and utilize these new functionalities within the software interface.
Exploring VG Studio Max 2025.1: A Detailed Look at its New Features and Improvements
0:00:11 VG Studio Max 2025.1 Release: This video provides an overview of the new features available in the latest version of VG Studio Max and related products, focusing on how to find and use them.
0:00:27 Object Specific Views: A new way to define, save, and apply visualization and workspace settings associated with specific objects (volumes, meshes, CADs, analyses, regions of interest) for streamlined project navigation and reporting.
0:01:10 Apply and Inspect Views: Views can be activated by double-clicking, restoring their saved settings. Properties can be inspected to see the thumbnail and referenced objects.
0:01:23 View Settings Scope: Views store settings for the object they belong to, its parents, and any visible child objects, setting all other objects to invisible when applied.
0:01:37 Copy & Paste Views: Views can be copied and pasted between similar objects, facilitating consistent visualization across multiple parts.
0:01:58 Automation and Referencing: Views are included in exported evaluation templates for automated scenarios and track referenced objects, indicating if they are missing and automatically finding them if recreated.
0:02:33 Bookmark Tool Integration: Project views are now displayed in the bookmark tool, grouped according to their associated objects.
0:02:53 Automated Reporting Images: Updated images of all views belonging to reported objects are automatically included when creating reports.
0:03:12 VG Trainer (Standalone): Introduces a new standalone product that allows users to train deep learning segmentation models using their own labeled data (labeled in VG Studio Max), for use in deep segmentation analysis.
0:03:49 Interactive 3D Geometric Tolerance Overlays: Reports can now include interactive 3D results displaying combined color overlays of geometric tolerance deviations.
0:04:36 Enhanced CAD Face Selection: When a workflow requires selecting CAD faces, a new contextual "CAD selection" ribbon appears, offering different interactive 3D multi-selection modes.
0:05:09 Fit Point Dialogue Coordinate Systems: The fit point dialogue now includes options to display fit point coordinates using cylindrical or spherical coordinate systems, derived from the active coordinate system.
0:06:03 Restrict Regular Element Fitting: A new default option restricts the fitting of newly created regular elements to the fit points of the source elements, allowing users to ignore certain surface areas (like engraved text) for the fitting calculation.
0:06:48 Additional Resources: Users are encouraged to check the software's 'What's New' section, the website, and the VG community for a full change log and further information.
