A new developer/preview version of the PrePoMax contains the following FEM features:
PrePoMax now has a new geometry selection method: Selection by ID
The previous selection method is called Selection by location. A short explanation is needed to understand the usage of these two selection methods. I will call them the old and the new selection methods.
The old selection method is based on the location of the user selection (point or area). Location data is saved for when there is a need to recreate the selection (remeshing, regenerating). If the selection is recreated the location data is used to create the selection again.
The new selection method uses the location of the user selection to get the geometry IDs of the underlying geometry and saves only the IDs. When the selection needs to be recreated the geometry IDs are directly used again.
In normal usage, like remeshing and regenerating, those two methods are equal. So no need to change the selection method for such tasks. However, things get interesting if the geometry changes before remeshing or regenerating (Regenerate using other files or Swap parts geometry). In such cases, the results of the selection could change. If the topology (numbering of vertices, edges, and faces) does not change and only geometry (dimensions) change, the new method will always select the same vertex, edge, face of part while the old method might fail to do so.
The new geometry selection capabilities can also be used to create reference points and coordinate systems. When two or three points are supposed to be selected (selection methods Between two points and Circle center), SHIFT key must be used. Previously, this was not necessary.
There is a nasty selection bug in this version. I will fix it as soon as possible and release a fixed version. Please, do not use this version further.
