Para 3d Version 4.8 release date: 6/10/2016
You must uninstall older version of Para3d before installing this package.

New features

Parametric Edit Poly . A new container node that enables editable poly operations on polygon objects.
Surface triangulation (Delaunay triangulation) has been added in Parametric Mesh.Paint
Paint add-on can paint objects using true and false values
An option has been added in Paint add-on to automatically calculate the min and max value of input.
Vector controller returns Boolean values checking if the input vectors are parallel or perpendicular or in the same plane.
Intersection controller returns the list of faces (face index) where a line interest with a geometry(mesh)

Improvements

A better graphical representation for “Groups” .
Labels can be added in groups.
Bug fixed in explode shapes to splines.
Bug fixed in changing the number of operands in pattern-controller .
Bug fixed in Parametric Array link controller . Enables to link to X,Y/Z position and rotation
