We have deployed the following updates to production
IMPROVED
  • Application view lists products and their publish status per PlannerApplication
This feature enables you to see publish status in the site configuration settings
FIXED
  • We've fixed an issue causing slowness in translations view
  • We've fixed pages on Documentation site that exposed metadata needed for linking docs to Manager app
  • We've improved our Apple device AR feature to detect usage of incompatible browsers for ARKit. For AR to work on Apple devices, you must use Safari browser.
We've deployed the following update to the production:
NEW
In order to support different websites/webshops from the same product catalog of our customer we are building and restructuring relevant configuration in the Manager App. When the whole capability is done, this means a huge improvement for manufacturers who have multiple reseller and/or multiple webshops in different platforms and/or regions.
We call the umbrella capability as "Site Configurations". Through this configuration, we/you can define different configuration per site.
We have now deployed the following features:
  • A new tenant is empty by default
  • Manager App user can create a new Site Configuration
  • Manager App displays a list of Site Configurations
  • Manager App user can link a Products to a Site
  • Support publishing products to multiple Sites at once
We will continue to push new capabilities and move some of the configuration options already developed as time goes forward. Feel free to reach out to us in case you wish to learn more.
IMPROVED
For Shopify Integration we have deployed the following new improvements:
  • Grouping (bundling) shopping cart items in Shopify
  • Public share link shown as visible custom data on Shopify bundled cart item
  • Read-only link to plan shared as hidden data to Shopify
These features in combination means that complex compositions can be seen in the shopping cart as bundled item groups therefore making it easier to make many compositions and see them as groups in the shopping cart. The public and read only links allow shopowner AND shop buyer to return to the composition added to shopping cart as it was designed at a later time to verify and see the composition at the time of adding to cart.
Additionally we have deployed the following new improvements:
  • Add scripting support to material tile scale and offset
This improvement allows independent scripting based scaling of material scale and offset which allows dynamic scaling of materials based on other configuration parameters and editable value.
  • Improve visibility of overlapping placers
This improvement requires adding a new PropertySet to all relevant parts which allows them to render placers differently in the scenario that the placers overlap. For configurations with a lor of overlapping placers, this capability makes it more pleasing to see placers without sacrificing ability to configure them effectively.
FIXES
  • We've fixed an issue causing IntegrationDataProperties from working working
  • We've fixed an issue that made products selection in Site Configuration not loading correctly
  • We've fixed performance issues discovered in one specific customer scenario
We've deployed the following update to the production environment:
NEW
  • Starting a planner UI supports Site ID parameter
This update is related to a bigger overall new feature called "Site Specific Configuration". It will allow each site (eCommerce platform or other website) to have it's own configuration for planner look and feel, the unit system, and permitted products from the tenant's Product Catalogue and over time more as the overall feature set is developed. This change does not alter how integrations or plugins work for now, but we will be changing that in the future and will deprecate some integration APIs. There will be ample time to update and at this time no change is necessary. Stay tuned or reach out to learn more!
IMPROVED
  • Send scene capture over embed API add to cart data
This update belongs to the Unit Capture feature where we now send the unit capture image
  • CSS customization of addToCart - component
This update is part of CSS customization of the planner instance which allows addToCart button to be customized. As CSS customizations are admin only feature, please reach out to us for the needed work.

Look for the highlighted icon in the category structure editor:

Unit Captures
The Unit capture feature allows to configure the system to take images of the specific items for summary, PDF and eventually pass also to integrations to make the configured state more visually pleasing for the users and clear for the shop owner for what was configured. This also helps with possible disputes. The following features are deployed now:
  • Unit image capture for the summary and PDF
  • Send unit captures over embed API
UPDATED
Camera
We added horizontal limitation controls that permit limiting sideways rotation of the camera. This is usefu for product that should only be viewed from the front and 360 degree viewing is not desired.

IMPROVED

  • We've enabled copying a product and paste-in it under the same library
FIXED
  • We've fixed an issue that causes validation rule contrast to being too low when using certain CSS customization parameters
The deployment done on 26.8. caused a small issue we are fixing with this deployment
FIXED
  • Loading glTF files with DRACO compression does not work
We wish to inform that the update we made in 26.8. changes the visual look of the 3D scene from what has been the default in past.
These changes make the 3D scene look more realistic and the tone more neutral and bit more darker. Also the shader that calculates ambient occlusion (how each pixel in the scene is exposed to light) is changed which impacts shades and shadows. Also worth noting that white color will turn more grayish than pure white as light is toned down where shadows are cast.
Below is an image showing current visual quality on the left and updated on the right.
example 20230812
You can see the shading of the armrest being bit more stronger and the overall tone bit more darker and neutral.
As a solution to the darkening, the intensity of the scene light can be increased manually as needed, but not automatically in the Manager UI.
NEW
  • We've added a a support for branding header for Summary PDF
  • We've added new tone mapping options for fine-tuning visual quality
  • We've added tooltips for property editors in manager
  • We've added support for automatically clearing a slot when it is disabled by a script
IMPROVED
  • We've updated the rendering engine and ambient occlusion effect which improves visual quality
  • Default values for environment and material property sets have been updated
  • Documentation has been improved
FIXED
  • Fixed an issue where some texts were not translated inside subcategories
  • Fixed an issue where QR code was partly hidden when viewed from mobile
