Display Modes • New: X-Ray mode is now available in the Display Modes menu, allowing you to see internal geometry while keeping the overall shape of your design visible. Use the Opacity slider to adjust transparency so you can inspect internal parts without losing the context of the outer model. Decals update in Visualization • New: Now you can allow decals to flow across multiple connected surfaces using the “Face Chaining” option. When enabled, your graphics will wrap seamlessly over adjacent faces rather than being restricted to a single surface. • Improved: Decals are now supported in PBR and USD exports, ensuring labels and logos are preserved when sharing models via Published Versions. • Fixed: Decals are now accurately clipped by the Section View plane, preventing graphics from lingering in the modeling space when their surfaces are hidden. Construction Tools • Improved: Construction Plane and Construction Axis moved from the Add menu to a dedicated Construct menu for better visibility. The Adaptive User Interface now also suggests multiple construction options based on your selection, making construction tools easier to find. • Improved: Aligning Construction Planes and Axes is now more precise, with notable points highlighted in purple during selection to provide more predictable snapping and alignment.

• New: Now you can add Decals in Visualization. Import .png or .jpeg images to place and position standalone graphics—like logos and labels—directly on your model’s surfaces. • Improved: Selections are now always rendered on top of your geometry, including when previewing steps in your history. You can also directly select sketches displayed on top of models, making it easier to work with overlapping designs. • Improved: Saved Views now capture more details when using Section View. In addition to the plane position, your views now capture the on/off states for 2D Section View and Section Only modes, making it easier to return to your exact sectioning setup.

• Improved: Wireframe display mode now includes silhouettes for better model definition. Silhouettes are also rendered around Section View capping polygons, making it easier to distinguish between touching bodies. • Improved: AR mode now supports snapping and placing models on vertical surfaces, in addition to horizontal ones.

• Improved: Now you can import .png and .jpeg images as custom materials in Visualization, applying them to your models like any native material finish. • Improved: Performance is now optimized when working with repetitive bodies created via Move, Rotate, Translate, and Pattern. This also applies to importing large assemblies from professional CAD formats, significantly reducing memory usage.

• New: Now you can use the Section Only mode within Section View to hide all model geometry and focus exclusively on the cross-section. • Improved: Toggle 2D view (formerly Ortho View) to display the cross-section and visible background edges and silhouettes for better depth perception. When you rotate the camera, you can now use the Normal to Section option at the top to instantly realign the view without leaving the mode. • Improved: The Wrap & Emboss tool now includes a gizmo for rotating your design and adjusting emboss depth directly in the modeling space, giving you visual control alongside the tool card parameters.

• New: Now you can display edges in the Visualized shader option from the Display Modes menu, or by using the Show Edges command in Visualization, giving you full edge visibility when modeling with realistic PBR materials. • New: Visualization now includes painted ash, cork, oak, and matte car paint materials to give you more options for realistic finishes. • New: Learn tips, modeling techniques, or shortcuts while waiting for projects to open or files to import. The loading screen now shows helpful Shapr3D information. • New: Access the latest release notes directly from the Dashboard. Go to Releases in the Learn section to view all updates in the Shapr3D Help Center

• New: Add embossed details to your designs with the Wrap & Emboss tool by wrapping sketches around cylindrical and conical surfaces. • New: Now you can toggle Ortho View in Section View to automatically display the cross-section and visible edges behind it, while hiding sketches, images, and hidden geometry. • New: Saved Views now preserve your section view settings. When you save a view while in Section mode, returning to that view restores both the camera angle and section state. • New: Capture screenshots faster with the new Screenshot tool button in your workspace. • New: Advanced import preferences can now be enabled for faster processing of STEP, IGES, CATIA Part, SolidWorks Part, and Solid Edge Part files. • Improved: The Project tool now features a refreshed icon for better clarity.

• New: Bring your own textured materials into Visualization by importing .glb files. Imported materials are added to your material library and apply to your models like native materials. • New: Now you can snap and apply constraints to the world axes during sketching, even when sketching off the default world planes. • Improved: Now you can import multiple Shapr3D projects at once from the Import Projects dialog, making it faster to bring in parts and reuse existing designs.

• Improved: Now you can adjust Scale, Orientation, and Twist directly from the Sweep card in the History sidebar, allowing you to create complex sweep geometry directly within a single operation.

• New: Now you can import other Shapr3D projects directly into your workspace without exporting and reimporting them first, letting you reuse existing designs and components more efficiently. • Improved: Sketch snapping now detects more intersection points between geometry elements. Snap points and annotations appear where edges, sketches, or axes intersect with construction planes that lie on your active sketch plane, even if they don’t directly intersect it. • Improved: When sketching in orthogonal mode, you can now snap to and reference geometry that’s outside the active sketch plane. These off-plane edges or sketches are automatically projected into the sketch plane, allowing you to create and maintain constraints with precise alignment.
