Overview
A patch consists of
several files compressed and archived into a single archive file.
The files contained in the archive file include a README file together
with one or more product files. The README file describes the contents
of the patch. The product files AUGMENT or REPLACE files of
the original product installation and are intended to correct problems addressed
by the patch. Archiving several files into one single archive file makes
the patch easier to download to your computer.
In general, the steps necessary
to install a patch include:
- Exit all running instances
of the applicable product(s)
- Download the archive
file containing the patch to your computer
- Extract the product
files contained in the patch archive file to your product installation
- Review the README file
included with the patch
- Restart the product
Note: Specific instructions
for installing a particular patch are listed in the section that describes
that patch.

Bugs Fixed
Gaps in Delaunay
Terrain - In certain situations, noticeable gaps between adjacent
polygons are created when generating terrain using Delaunay triangulation.
GeoFeature Attribute Pages
- The Modify All setting is ignored when making changes within a GeoFeature
attribute page when multiple features are selected. Also, undo
is disabled when changing the value of the height field on GeoFeature
attribute pages.
Insert Property on Mesh Nodes
- When invoked on mesh nodes, the Insert Color, Insert Material and
Insert Texture tools do not function properly.
Decompose Mesh - When
invoked on mesh nodes containing triangle fans or quadrilateral strips,
the Decompose Mesh tool creates back facing polygons. Also after invoking
Decompose Mesh on a mesh node that is a child of an object node, the
undo does not function properly, resulting in lost geometry.
Duplicating Geometry Containing
Morph Vertices - When invoked on geometry containing morph vertices,
the Duplicate Tool creates incorrect geometry. This is noticed
after translating the duplicated geometry.
Duplicating Geometry Containing
Light Strings - When invoked on geometry containing light strings,
under certain circumstances, the Duplicate Tool causes incorrect results.
OpenFlight Extension Attribute
Page Access Violation - Enabling or setting values for OpenFlight
extension attributes within any attribute page does not function properly.
Opening/Closing Database
Files - Certain OpenFlight files were found to cause Creator to
exit when being read and/or being closed. Most noticeably, those
containing many external references.
Coordinate Entry via Coordinate
Panel - Entering coordinate data into the Coordinate Panel when
a graphic view does not have explicit focus can cause Creator to exit
under certain circumstances.
VRML Exporter Plug-in
- Invoking the Export VRML tool causes Creator to exit.
Set DOF Limits - When
changing the Rotate Range while using the Set DOF Limits tool, the incorrect
rotation attribute is modified.
Batch GeoPut - After
restarting the Batch GeoPut Tool, the Selected File list may incorrectly
show Flight files when the Batch File type indicates Texture and vice
versa.
