Substance 3D Modeler 1.18.0 overview

V1.18.0 brings some improvements to Export and Primitives, as well as some general quality-of-life improvements.

Primitives:

Converting from primitive to clay now assigns the correct material to the new clay object.
Linked groups or components inside primitive containers can now be set to the None Combine mode.
When selecting primitives and groups of primitives, parameters are now available so that all primitives in the selection can be updated at once.

Export:

Added a new parameter to Export – Use local space. When an object is selected, this can be toggled on to export the object so that it appears at the origin of the exported file.
Using File > Export now opens the Export panel, even if you were already in Export mode with another panel open.
Memory usage improvements when exporting as triangles.
The Material panel is now available in Export mode.

Quality of life:

Updated icons throughout the app.
Moved the shortcuts list to the Properties panel.
Added a button in VR to reset the grip pose.
Taper can now also be adjusted negatively both for primitives and clay brushes.
Added a Shear parameter to the Prism (triangular) primitive. This makes it possible to more easily create isosceles triangles.
Render mode resolutions can now be changed by modifying either width or height. Resolution will still be constrained to the selected Aspect Ratio.

General changes and fixes:

Fixed an issue where gizmo handles could behave incorrectly when a component was in focus.
Updated some strings and added missing tooltips.
