• Extract Lines at intersection of two planes, planes/surfaces, planes/elements, and surface/surface.
• Extract Nodes/Points at intersection of two planes or planes with lines, surfaces, or solids.
• Faces, edges, and equivalence have new context menus available to check and fix mesh connectivity issues.
• The Detach elements workflow is migrated under the Topology Detach context menu.
• Element quality legend support for 1D elements is added along with the ability to dynamically change criteria values to obtain the failed element count.
• Merge solids by removing shared surfaces supported under the Boolean: Combine tool.
• Split lines at joints has been added under the Split: Parametric tool.
• Create lines by dragging nodes has been added under the Lines tool.

• A 3-point circle creation method is added under the Circles tool.
• Create mesh option has been added for Spline, Node/Point Cloud Surface Creation tools
• Elements and Facets selections are added to create solid elements using the Spin tool.
