The Stonetrip team have been working hard to complete tutorials for selected new features of ShiVa3D v1.9.

The latest tutorials explain the principles underlying the features and take you, step by step, through the procedures needed, with screenshots from ShiVa3D and examples of code required. Once you have followed the tutorial, you’ll be able to use what you have learned in your own Shiva3D projects and, we hope, to build on the knowledge from the tutorial to develop your own routines.

If there is any area of ShiVa3D v1.9 you’d like further documentation or guidance for, do let us know, either in the Stonetrip develop forums, or directly by email to enquiries@stonetrip.com.
