The Cutters command is designed to apply precise cuts to gemstones, offering full customization over the shape and dimensions of the cutter.
This command consists of three key panels:
Selection Panel: In this panel, you can select the gemstones to which you want to apply the cutter. This allows for easy and targeted modification of specific gems within your design.
Parameters Panel: The Parameters Panel provides detailed control over the cutter's configuration. You can define the cutter to interact with various parts of the gemstone, including:
Crown
Pavilion
Girdle
Additionally, you can customize the shape of the cutter's bottom section, choosing from three available options:
Round
Square
Hexagonal
These settings give you flexibility in creating different types of cuts, whether for aesthetic purposes or specific design requirements.
Expander Presets Panel: The Expander Presets panel allows you to define the overall shape of the cutter. You can choose from four preset shapes depending on the type of cut you need. These presets provide options for whether the bottom part of the cutter should be straight, expanded, or adapted to other specific design needs.
This element is editable, meaning it can be modified anytime.
Goldsmith Tip: Be mindful when selecting the type of cutter for your design. If the prongs are already placed and you've performed a Boolean union with the base of the gemstone, choosing a cutter with an extended crown section could accidentally remove part of the prong. To avoid this, ensure that the cutter is appropriate for your design and won't interfere with other components, such as prongs, that are already in place.
