nTopology 2.26 is here! This release features some powerful new blocks, such as the Angle Field block which enables you to find the angle on a surface of an object with respect to a vector as a scalar. In addition, we’ve enhanced the Organization Administration Licensing dashboard to make it easier for you to manage the licenses and users in your organization. As with every release, nTopology’s dedicated support team is ready to answer your questions. Please visit support.ntopology.com to gain access to helpful tutorials and support articles.
