Sorry that was a short life for 44d!
Ep went to use 44d last night to resume work on animating some of her early hand made work (one of her patchy cows made in seamless 1)
Sadly 44d crashed right away soon as she tried to open the file where she had last left it in a previous version of 44. I traced the reasons for the crash back to her using a CopyPart node she was using in the build field. I had tested 44d on the updated (but not uploaded) buildTexturedAv so would have thought this was a pretty good test since this file uses CopyPart nodes but found she was using different functionality so is the reason I missed some bugs.
Unless you experience crashes there may be no need to download version 44e (bound to find some more bugs soon
Most don't use the CopyPart node (It remains undocumented) but the following functions from the F10 menu use the CopyPart node hidden from the user:
delete/triangles left from the selected coord
delete/triangles right from the selected coord
delete/triangles up from the selected coord
delete/triangles down from the selected coord
paste/part
paste/part mirrorX
paste/part mirrorY
paste/part mirrorZ
paste/add part mirrorX
paste/add part mirrorY
paste/add part mirrorZ
The CopyPart node may also be used in other functions including importing parts and even perhaps generating immediate geometry for parts surrounded by parts that share vertices with other parts in the geometry.
For proof cutting a portion out while vertices are shared see the picture of Petra's facial surgery done using 44e
delete/triangles left from the selected coord
best wishes
