This makes it easier for users to standardize setups across different projects, ensuring consistent quality, and minimizing repetitive work.Advanced tools and enhanced user experienceBeyond support generation, CHITUBOX Pro V2.0 introduces several new tools and improvements to elevate the overall user experience. The software now features a redesigned user interface with a fresh theme and Lighting/Detail Mode to enhance model visualization in various environments. Support for Microsoft DirectX and Apple Metal provides a smoother and more responsive manipulation experience, making model handling more intuitive. The reworked code base also enables the program to utilize system resources more efficiently to achieve lightning-fast support generation and model slicing.Light theme new user interface.

Additionally, the introduction of RMA integration simplifies access to a basic model library of standard parts, making it easier for users who regularly require common components.In terms of model manipulation, the Rotate View feature allows users to rotate models around a pivot point based on mouse clicks, enabling better control over model orientation. Expanded and customizable Shortcut Keys make navigation even more flexible, allowing users to tailor their workflows to their specific needs.Risk management receives a boost with the Cavity Detection tool, which builds on the Basic versions detection system and adds solid filling for closed cavities while facilitating quick hole-digging, ensuring structural integrity. Improved Collision Detection helps prevent errors by identifying clashes between parts before printing begins, which helps reduce print failures.Advanced model editing capabilities come with the Advanced Hollow feature, which introduces new filling options, including solid, honeycomb, and mesh structures. This also supports a bottom-through mode that allows users to create lighter models while maintaining strength. Additionally, the Dig Hole function has been refined to ensure model integrity when creating holes in hollow designs.Standard parts in light theme.
