October 2, 2025

Updates

New Tools

  • 3-2-1 Align (Features tab) — Pick 6 points (3 base, 2 direction, 1 point) to snap the part to world axes, locking 6 degrees of freedom.
  • Hollow/Thicken (Mesh Edit tab) — Offsets a mesh to create inner and outer shells for quick hollowing or uniform wall thickening.
  • 2D Grid (toggle under the View Cube) — Displays a planar grid to aid alignment and measurement.
  • 3D World Grids (toggle under the View Cube) — Shows world-space grids for spatial orientation and scale checks.
  • Multi Clone (Mesh Edit tab) — Creates multiple copies of an object with editable translation and rotation for patterned layouts.

Improved Tools

  • Measure Distance — Adds an option to report the true 3D distance and the X, Y, and Z axis components separately for faster diagnostics and GD&T checks.
  • Measure Point — Automatically activates during Distance Compare to create deviation probes, add them to the scene, and record normal deviation.
  • Section — Supports ancillary objects so you can visually clip meshes and trim surface paths for cleaner cross-sections.

UI/UX

  • Object Tags — Tag objects and manage tags in the Object Information panel for quick filtering and organization.
  • macOS Trackpad Orbit — Smoother, more predictable scene rotation with touchpads.
  • Instant Settings Save — Preferences persist immediately after change.
  • CMD Key Support (Web on macOS) — Common shortcuts work in the browser version.
  • General Polish — Stability fixes and minor UI/UX refinements.

Save/Load
