Strata 3D 3.8 (plus and pro) are now running native on Mac OS X 10.x. File Menu - Export... Export is new to Strata 3Dpro 3.8. Export... allows you to output your file to the various export options in Strata 3Dpro: HOTKEYS AND MODIFIER KEYS FOR STRATA 3D 3.8 - Macintosh Hotkeys for accelerating and decelerating movement of Camera controls, View Move, View Rotate and Nudging are now available in Strata 3D 3.8. Nudging Modifier Keys Command-(arrow keys) - Nudges the object at a faster rate and gradually gets faster as you hold down the keys. The acceleration factor for this command is 10. In other words, a Nudge setting of 10 -- ten nudges per unit -- would translate to 1 nudge per unit. Option-(arrow keys) - Nudges the object at a slower rate and gradually gets slower as you hold down the keys. The speed deceleration factor for this command is 10 or 1/10 the default speed. In other words, a Nudge setting of 10 -- ten nudges per unit -- would translate to 100 nudges per unit. Tool Palette - View Management Tools Hotkeys Shift-1 = View Move Shift-2 = View Rotate Shift-3 = View Zoom Note: The Caps Lock key is a toggle modifier for the View and Object Management tools. For example, with Caps Lock "ON" the above View Tools Hotkeys would change to 1, 2, and 3 respectively and the Object Management Tools: Move, Rotate, Scale Hotkeys would become Shift-1, 2, and 3, respectively. Also, please note that if you press 1 for the Object Move Tool and then press 1 again it will toggle to the previously used tool. This is similar to pressing the space bar to toggle between the most recently used Management tool and other tools in the tool palette. Tool Palette - View Move Modifier Keys Command = faster View Move adjustments Option = slower View Move adjustments Holding these keys while moving the view will cause the view to adjust faster or slower depending on the modifier key that you press. Tool Palette - View Rotate Modifier Keys Command = faster View Rotation Option = slower View Rotation Holding these keys while moving the view will cause view to adjust faster or slower depending on the modifier key that you press. Camera Control Modifier Keys Command-(Camera controls) - moves the object at a faster rate and gradually gets faster as you hold down the keys. The amount that the Camera will move is dependent on the Nudge sub-divisions value. The speed acceleration factor while using the Command key is 4. In other words, a Nudge setting of 10 -- ten nudges per unit -- would translate to 4 steps per unit. Option-(arrow keys) - Nudges the object at a slower rate and gradually gets slower as you hold down the keys. The speed deceleration factor while using the Option key is 4 or 1/4 the default speed. In other words, a Nudge setting of 10 -- ten nudges per unit -- would translate to 40 steps per unit. Ren…
