Dear users, Given the sample specific nature of the shape trends produced by the PCA, the original design of AGMT3-D did not allow to change the items included in a project after its creation. While this had an analytical reasoning concerning the universality of the results it also generated complicated workflows which are extremely demanding with regard to processing time and storage space - especially for larger projects. After several years working with the software and additional thought it was...

Dear users, Given the sample specific nature of the shape trends produced by the PCA, the original design of AGMT3-D did not allow to change the items included in a project after its creation. While this had an analytical reasoning concerning the universality of the results it also generated complicated workflows which are extremely demanding with regard t processing time and storage space - especially for larger projects. After reconsideration of this trade-off it was decided that latter considerations...

Hi Alex, Thank you for using the software and for posting your comment. The difference to which you refer stems from the different methods used to calculate these values in the different software. Specifically for the surface area, while Meshlab and other general 3D processing software measure the whole surface of an item (i.e. the sum of the areas of all faces in the mesh) AGMT3-D measures the "archaeological" surface area (i.e the 2D surface area of the projection of the item onto the bifacial...

Dear Matt, Let me start, again, by apologizing for the late reply. As I wrote to you last time, things always come up (unfortunately not always related to work or academia) . So, from reading your email I understand that my first guess was off. I have a few other thoughts - but as you suggested - I think the best idea would be that I will have a look at some of the files first. If it is ok with you, please send me the following files: YOUR_PROJECT_NAME-MorphoProject.mat - this file should be inside...

Dear Matt, Thanks for your email, and sorry for the late reply, as I am currently the only one supporting AGMT3-D, replies sometimes get delayed. Concerning your issue, this is most definitely a bug and has nothing to do with your machine (which has excellent specs) . While the landmarking process is indeed somewhat slow (hopefully an issue that will be improved in the next version), the PCA shouldn't take more than a few minutes. From your email I get that you had no problems with the 'Process folder'...

Dear users, We are happy and proud to bring you the new version 3.1 of AGMT3-D with new and enchanced features including: • New project creation system. Creation of a new project now includes the measuring of inherent attributes for each artifact. These include metrics [max length, width, thickness, grid length, width and thickness, length to max grid width, length to max grid thickness, width and thickness at lower fifth, mid length, and upper fifth], volume, surface area, deviation form perfect...

Dear users, Following feedbacks we got from some of our users we have quickly released a new version which takes care of a serious bug that was discovered, as well as adds some new features. Major bug fix: In the landmarks’ positioning procedure, a bug which caused an error to occur in cases when the number of latitudes and the number of landmarks per latitude were unequal was fixed. Now any number can be assigned in each of the fields. The process folder procedure now saves a Microsoft Excel file...

Thanks to feedback I got from a user I figured users who don't have Matlab installed have no way to access the raw landmarks coordinates. This issue will be fixed in the next release of AGMT3D. In the meantime I'm releasing a simple tool for extracting the landmarks form the 3dl files and saving them as Excel. The tool is very simple, you just need to install it, run it, and select a folder contaitng 3dl files. the Excel files will be saved in new folder created in the folder containing the *.3dl...
