September 17, 2010 - Oxygen Inclusions software version 3.1 build 754 is available.

• New option: inclusion contrast
• New visual model of Flat Crack
• Pacor rough classification cutting lists and yields in Oxygen
• Splitting cloud parts

New option: inclusion contrast

Added a contrast characteristic of inclusion which affects the Inclusion clarity assigned by automatic algorithms.

The contrast grade affects to:

• Suggested clarity group in the Specify inclusion clarity window
• Assumed diamond clarity in automatic diamond clarity estimation in inclusion in polished mode

By default cracks receive Medium contrast, clouds receive Low contrast, all other types - High contrast.

If you need to change contrast of some inclusion manually:

1) Right click on inclusion in Scene and select Change clarity..

or select an inclusion in list and press button Change

2) Specify Inclusion Clarity window appears

3) Change contrast in the list Inclusion contrast

Inclusion sandwiches receives the same contrast and clarity as the initial inclusion. Diamond clarity estimation algorithm consider the whole inclusion rather than separate sandwich parts, so you don't have to adjust contrast of sandiwch ex-parts.

Splitting cloud parts

Table of Content

In case some cloud points are located close to each other an automatic allocation tool can accidentally merge them. On the screenshot below you can see that a number of cloud points have been merged into one large 3D inclusion.

In such case please right-click on the cloud part and choose Split this part item in the context menu:

Oxygen will try to split an inclusion into smaller parts.
Splitting procedure results can be seen on the screenshot below.
