Measurement API: Custom Measurements Workflow Creation for Developers
The latest Measurement API update introduces major enhancements, offering developers greater flexibility and precision in handling measurements. Key highlights include:
Improved Data Structure: New properties, better naming conventions, and more efficient structures streamline data handling and improve developer productivity.
measureBetween: Calculate minimal distances, angles, and other metrics between points, lines, planes, topological elements, and nodes. This enables the creation of custom measurement workflows, essential for complex engineering and design tasks.
New UI Features:
Focus-To-View to find measurements faster and put them on top of the view
Camera-Dependent Positioning
Copy Button: Easy reuse of measuement results
These updates streamline the development process, making it easier to integrate and customize measurements across various applications and industries.
Transform Your 3D Workflow with New ClipPlane Enhancements!
Experience a significant enhancement in ClipPlane interaction within your 3D Space. This update simplifies visualisation with a clear, border-only quad geometry and streamlines controls with a single, centered arrow for translation and larger, torus-like handles for rotation. These improvements ensure a more intuitive and efficient workflow, making it easier to manage and manipulate ClipPlanes in your 3D scenes.

Elevate Visual Inspections with ViewerMagnifierAPI's Digital Zoom
The ViewerMagnifierAPI is now officially part of our main product lineup! This feature brings added flexibility to your workflows and applications. Users have successfully combined this API with our RealityAPI to enhance their Mixed Reality Applications. Experience mature digital zoom capabilities: customize the zoom factor, shape, size, and position of the magnifying glass within your applications to meet specific needs.
Safely Delete Entities from a 3D Space with Safe-Delete
In the previous versions, our SessionStore worked, but it had its fair share of inconsistencies and shortcomings. This led to multiple issues, particularly with functionalities built on top of it, such as snapshots. Our latest update aims to address these problems head-on. We've focused on improving stability and performance when storing and restoring information. For example, snapshots will no longer restore deleted nodes, eliminating user confusion.
With new functioality like translation, cloning, and deletion, managing your 3D drawings has never been more intuitive. Create, modify, and perfect your engineering documentation with ease and precision. Add arrowheads to line segments, customize their properties, and effortlessly edit drawings.
This feature enables developers to build for use cases such as:
Efficient Design Reviews: Quickly select, move, and clone line segments to streamline design iterations and feedback loops
Model-Based Illustration: Create precise, annotated drawings directly within the 3D model, for model documentation or mounting instructions
We’re excited to unveil our newly revamped Documentation Portal! This update focuses on enhancing the visual experience and improving navigation without altering the existing content. Here are the key changes:
Light and Dark Mode: Enjoy a fully immersive developer experience with our new light and dark mode options.
Sleek New Sidebar: The sidebar has been restructured for easier navigation
Local Table of Content: Each page now includes a local Table of Content on the right side for quick and easy access to sections.
Improved Mobile Responsiveness: Our portal is now fully responsive, ensuring a seamless experience on any device.
Integrated Links: Starting with version 3.9, your local instant3Dhub splash page will include links to both the online https://docs.threedy.io (recommended) and your local, packaged documentation.
Explore the new portal now and let us know your thoughts!
