This update brings some UX improvements to scaling groups and zooming, but primarily it introduces a number of way to remove elements from groups. First is the new basic Group Remove node that simply removes all elements selected by the Apply to settings. Second in Apply Function, Apply Layer and Randomize nodes that apply scaling to elements now have an option to remove any elements that are scaled below a certain scale. In other words an option to remove small points outright in gradients or halftones instead of just making them small. And finally the Apply Layer and Apply function nodes now also have two options for removal chance for elements that can be varied across a group, to get a gradual removal of points in a random or counted pattern.
Changes and improvements
– Added a new Remove group node for simply removing a selection of elements in a group.
– Added option to remove elements scaled below a limit in Apply Function, Apply Layer and Randomize group nodes, letting you completely remove small elements instead of just scaling them down.
– Added element removal chance as options in Apply function and Apply Layer nodes, to allow gradually removing elements in groups.
– Improved layer scale handles to automatically offset layers to keep opposing edge/corner fixed when possible instead of scaling around pivot.
– Changed zoom to happen around cursor location when using scroll wheel or pinch gesture zoom.
Bug fixes
– Fixed relative repeater index values when using Random repeater.
– Fixed layers rendering blank after being moved entirely outside artboard and then back in after 1.1.1 update.
– Fixed changing artboard size not redrawing layers clipped by artboard edge after 1.1.1 update.
– Fixed viewport scroll bars not updating correctly on artboard size changes.
– FIxed issue with Function Repeater breaking layer generation in some cases if count was set to 1.
