v7.0.3.0

• Hair Strands are now illustrated better when pasting... hidden geometry portions are rendered partially transparent while visible portions are rendered opaque. Makes it easier to align and rotate the roots since you can see what portions will be below the growth surface.
• Implemented 2D rotations when pasting hair strand. Up-Down will control one axis and Left-Right the other axis.
• Removed "Paste Using Corners" option for hair strand pasting since it was problematic. New visual cues ( see above ) make it easier to align hair strands without this feature.
• Fixed "jumpy" initial angle when rotating hair strands as you paste.
• Hair Strands may now be created/pasted onto morphed growth surface ( previously, only the base vertices of the growth surface was considered )
• Fixed bug that occurred when attempting to paste a hair strand after deleting strand(s)
• Fixed cosmetic issue with interface overlay panels that may be overlapping each other on startup.

v7.0.2.0

• Fixed issues with Strand Straightener and Strand Restore tools
• Fixed several technical issues with Template import/export
• Hair Symmetry Improvement: Hair strands can now cross center line at the root while still preserving proper symmetry. Hold ALT key to force a single strand centered across the center line.
