For 3D printing professionals, the new Solid Healing 2.0 tool is a miracle. The old version only fixed reversed faces. The new version automatically welds stray vertices, fixes non-manifold geometry, and reorients back-facing planes with a single click. This means less time in Netfabb or Meshmixer and more time printing.
Copying a project (e.g., a pneumatic assembly for a new customer) has always been risky. The old DBRsolids sometimes missed in-context references.
The new Smart Copy uses a reference graph algorithm that:
A side-by-side diff shows you exactly which files will be renumbered and which will remain shared. dbrsolids new
If you have installed the new version of DBR SOLID, the first thing you will notice is the toolbar. The old drop-down menu system has been replaced with a contextual ribbon. When you select two or more solid groups, only the relevant boolean tools (Subtract A-B, Subtract B-A, Common, etc.) light up. This reduces cognitive load and speeds up workflow.
Before diving into the new features, let’s establish a baseline. DBR SOLID is a premium suite of boolean and solid modeling tools designed specifically for Trimble SketchUp (both Desktop and Web versions). While SketchUp’s native Solid Tools are functional, they are often criticized for being slow, buggy with complex geometry, or lacking specific cutting and joining options.
DBR SOLID fills this gap by offering:
When users search for “dbrsolids new”, they are typically looking for Version 2.0 updates, recent 2024-2025 patches, or specific feature releases that enhance performance.
If you open dbrsolids new for the first time, you will immediately notice:
The old “wizard-style” multi-step dialogs have been replaced with a single-page dashboard. For power users, there is a new Script Console where you can type DBR commands directly (e.g., Export-PDF -Path "C:\Vault\Drawings" -Format "A1"). For 3D printing professionals, the new Solid Healing 2
One of the most requested features is finally here. The new revision table tool scans your PDM revision history and automatically populates a SOLIDWORKS drawing table.
New capabilities:
No more manual typing of “Approved by” or “Date.” A side-by-side diff shows you exactly which files
To understand DBRSOLIDS is to understand the concept of "solids" in a sonic context. Sound, typically transient and fleeting, is treated here as a building material—dense, impenetrable, and tactile. On "New," the producer moves beyond the standard tropes of the electronic underground (be it Techno, IDM, or Glitch) to create something that feels architecturally load-bearing.
The EP doesn’t ask to be listened to; it demands to be endured. The sonic palette is distinctly post-industrial, utilizing what sounds like corroded machinery, granulated synthesis, and the ghost-in-the-machine echoes of broken firmware. But unlike the chaotic approach of noise artists, DBRSOLIDS retains a rigid, mathematical precision. The chaos is controlled; the entropy is designed.
