Essential Extension Updates

Conveyors

• Added new Curved Merge Rollers spur unit to the Essential Conveyors extension that supports multiple curve angles at merging.
• Improved the logic behind snapping behavior to account for occupied space and prevent conveyors from colliding.
• Improved some properties handling logic for curve and wedge units in Essential Conveyors to prevent unexpected disconnects and reconnections when modifying properties like Curve Angle or Handedness.
• Added property controls to select charge or discharge connectors along with graphic indication to determine the active connector when inserting or moving conveyors.

Deep Racking

• Added support for shuttle support beams to show up in the Bill of Materials with correct dimensions for Essential Deep Racking. 
• Added support for frame bracing to show up in the Bill of Materials with correct length measurements for Essential Pallet Racking and Essential Deep Racking.

• Updated the clearance logic in Deep Racking Pallet Live to remove the restriction involving Load-to-Load and Frame-to-Load values. Clearance behavior is now improved so that setting a Load-to-Load clearance to less than 2 × Frame-to-Load clearance will automatically updates the Frame-to-Load clearance to half of the Load-to-Load value.
  Improved the segment width behavior to ensure that changing the width now updates both Load-to-Load and Frame-to-Load clearance values simultaneously. 
• Removed the "Adjust bay" option from collision property during insertion in Deep Racking to ensure consistent and predictable behavior

MH Framework

• Improved performance of moving cursor around when inserting a component with System spread and solved the flickering of some dimension property values.

Mezzanine

• Added new Gate opening property to the Quick Properties for single, double, horizontal, and tilt gates to control the degree of opening for improved visuals.
