New and Changed in GenerativeComponents CONNECT Edition Update 1

The following topics summarize the new features and enhancements in the GenerativeComponents CONNECT Edition Update 1 release.

Generated Node Type (GNT) Manager

GNT Manager lets you manage GenerativeComponents's new way of handling generated node types which alleviates the currently necessary strict version dependency and limited transferability between different users. The way Generated Node Types (GNTs) are stored changes so that they become less dependent on regeneration in each new version of GenerativeComponents application. This change no longer requires executing the scripts, reconstruct DLLs which create the GNTs; it is only required to exchange the GNTs themselves and load them through the GNT Manager dialog. Instead of handling DLLs distribution, GNT manager simply maintains the data structure of types, independent of version and easily accessible in networked users. Custom node types created initially are saved as a library file (.gnt), has got ease of portability. The discrete file can easily be distributed among distinct users for further advancements.
