Camera animations inside the animation builder

Take full control of camera movements in your animations:
  • A new “Record View” button lets you save the current camera position for any waypoint.
  • Use it to create smooth camera transitions with your waypoints or build standalone camera animations without animating any parts.



Locate Selected Animated Part

Quickly locate and identify animated parts in the hierarchy:

  • Click the “Locate” button (magnifying glass icon) on any animated part in the list.
  • The Parts Catalog will automatically:
    • Open and expand the hierarchy to the selected part.
    • Scroll to the part's position in the list.
    • Highlight the part with a blinking effect (3 times for 0.5 seconds each).
  • The part’s selection state will remain unchanged after blinking, making it easy to continue your workflow.

This streamlines navigation and helps content creators quickly understand where animated parts are positioned in the hierarchy.


Immersive Room

Sync Bookmarks

We’re excited to welcome the Bookmarks feature to the Immersive Room!
  • Room hosts can now interact with bookmarks using the Bookmarks Button.
  • Sync bookmark states seamlessly with all participants, ensuring everyone sees the same content.

Remote Support

Toggle Flashlight in Call (iOS only)

Shine a light on the details during remote support calls:
  • A new Toggle Flashlight option lets you turn on your device's flashlight while on a call.
  • Perfect for capturing clear videos or showing elements in low-light environments, ensuring others can see everything clearly.

Flow Editor

Open Animation Manager from Flow Editor

Simplify how you add interactions with this streamlined update:
  • The Animation Manager now opens directly from the Flow Editor, eliminating the old interactions menu.
  • Adding interactions is easier than ever:
    • Click on a node and press the + button to open the manager.
    • Select an interaction and click on the new blue + button next to the name of the interaction to attach it to the node.
This integration ensures a smoother workflow and improves consistency when working with interactions.

"Go To Procedure" node open the attached procedure when Double Click

Speed up your workflow with this new shortcut:
  • Double-click on a "Go To" procedure in the Flow Editor to open it instantly.
    This feature helps content creators work faster and more efficiently when managing interconnected procedures.
NotesNote: Make sure a procedure is attached to the node before attempting to open it.

Remote Support

Auto Join a Call from a Notification

Join calls faster by clicking on an incoming call notification, which opens the app and immediately connects you. A loading screen ensures clarity during any delays.

Super Admin

Add Device ID to generated report

Generated reports now include a 9-digit Device ID for each user, making it easier to identify and contact them.

Bug Fixes

Interactive Flows
  1. Users are redirected to the Projects page after exiting a procedure.
  2. Node Color: Pop-up borders do not display the correct color in 2D or 3D procedures, showing white instead.
  3. Closing a procedure also closes the AR session. When returning to the 3D scene, AR mode is lost, and re-anchoring is required.
  4. Users viewing 3D Interactive Flows on iOS and Android will not see the animation timeline. Navigation must be performed using the play button.
Digital Twin
  1. If a DT is closed while Xray mode is active, the Xray button remains highlighted in the next DT opened, even though Xray is not active. 
Remote Support
  1. The syntax in the "Share Screen" toast message is incorrect.
  2. Captions do not function correctly on iOS devices when communicating with other devices.

Known Issues

Interactive Flows: 
  1. Camera location resets upon exiting AR mode instead of retaining the final animation position.
  2. Camera lags when transitioning through animations with grouped parts and camera movements.
Animation Builder
  1. Breadcrumbs from a previous animation remain visible in subsequent nodes, even when they should reset.
  2. Deleted groups in the Animation Builder reappear in the list after adding a new part or tool, despite being removed individually.
  3. Parts retain their modified highlight color after being removed and re-added, instead of resetting to the default color.
  4. Highlights do not update automatically when a new waypoint is added, requiring users to toggle highlights off and on to see changes.
Mobile: Android 
3D Procedure: AR - Highlight Does Not Appear Around Interactable Object in AR
