In November 2020, we issued an enormous new release, Coreform Cubit 2020.2. In this release we rebranded Trelis as Coreform Cubit, and added many new capabilities to Coreform Cubit which improve user experience, add new and/or improved meshing capabilities, and added new mesh import/export capabilities, and updates to our licensing infrastructure enabled us to provide a free edition for non-commercial use: Coreform Cubit Learn. Perhaps most importantly, we implemented an incredible amount of “behind-the-scenes” infrastructure for Continuous Integration & Continuous Deployment (CI/CD). In the long-term this will help us deliver a more reliable product for you, with increased velocity.
Unfortunately, there were some issues that we introduced during this process and that eluded our best efforts to capture in our CI/CD pipelines. We will maintain a list of known issues below, we’re working diligently to resolve these issues and we will release patches to critical issues in the coming weeks and months.

This is a known unintended issue - we are preparing a hot fix to make the Sculpt functionality available as soon as possible and will let you know as soon as we know when this will be.
