Fast Track Pro is designed for Advanced Content Creators, empowering them to:

This new add-on doesn’t stop there—our Digital Twin Editor has received a major upgrade, offering advanced customization options to tailor your Digital Twin to meet your specific needs.

NotesNote:
 While this article focuses on creating a Digital Twin using Fast Track Pro, the enhancements to the Digital Twin Editor are covered in a separate section and additional articles.

What Can You Do with Fast Track Pro?

Here’s what makes Fast Track Pro a game-changer:

  1. Direct CAD Import: Eliminate the hassle of external tools by uploading CAD files directly within the app.
  2. Seamless Integration: Fast Track Pro simplifies the process, allowing you to manage everything in one place.
  3. Enhanced Customization: The upgraded Digital Twin Editor lets you tweak your Digital Twin from top to bottom, ensuring it meets your exact requirements.

New File System: FLDT

With Fast Track Pro, we've introduced a powerful new file format called FLDT (frontline Digital Twin).

Here’s how it works:

  • Conversion: CAD files are converted into the FLDT format during the optimization process.
  • Lighter and Optimized: FLDT files are smaller in size and optimized for better performance.
  • Shareability: You can share FLDT files with anyone who has access to the Fast Track Pro feature.

After optimizing your CAD file, you’ll receive a ready-to-use frontline Digital Twin (FLDT) file that’s optimized for seamless use in frontline.io. Just like CAD files, FLDT files can be uploaded directly into the app, allowing you to enjoy faster performance and smoother workflows.

Digital Twin Editor Add-On Features

Thanks to the new upgrades accompanying Fast Track Pro, the Digital Twin Editor now includes these powerful new features:

  1. Merge CADs:
    After uploading a CAD file, you can now import additional files into the same scene, enabling you to combine multiple CADs seamlessly.


  2. Hierarchy Changes:
    Enjoy full control over the hierarchy of your Digital Twin. You can now:

    • Delete parts.
    • Duplicate components.
    • Completely restructure the hierarchy to suit your needs.

  3. Export Parts:
    Export individual parts or the entire assembly as a single FLDT file for use as a new Digital twin.

  4. Slicer Tool:
    Activate the Slicer option directly from the app (previously available only on the web). This tool allows you to slice through the Digital Twin.

  5. Background Color Customization: (TBA)
    Personalize your scene by changing the background color directly within the app, creating a workspace that suits your aesthetic or functional preferences.
