To install the new version, please use the link in the post above.

UX Improvements

  • when uploading an image in the web app, set the aspect ratio as close as possible to the original
  • when a new render is generated, do not set it as the active one
    • this prevents the text prompt to be overwritten
  • added UI new renders badge, to show new renders that have not been viewed
    • clicking the new render count badge, selects the next new render that has not been viewed
  • left / right keyboard shortcuts no longer changes the render when a text box is active
    • this prevents the text prompt to be overwritten
  • ability to delete unwanted renders
  • updated keyboard shortcuts:
    • [Ctrl] + [Enter] - start new render
    • [Delete] - delete selected render
    • [Shift] + [S] - save selected render
    • [O] - toggle base / rendered image
    • [P] - start pen tool in Refine Mode

SketchUp Improvements

  • adjusted SketchUp base image line thickness to be more pronounced
    • this allows Veras to more accurately render the geometrical features

Stability/Bug Fixes

  • “Preview Image Error” bug fix in Rhino and Revit for times when preview image syncs properly, but error is still displayed.
  • In Revit and Rhino, when more than one rendering is completed at roughly the same time, none of those renderings will fail to be auto-saved any longer.

Muy buen trabajo, yo creo que la inclusiĂłn de personas permite una mejor percepciĂłn de la escala en la imagen.
Very good work, I thought the inclusion of people to improve the perception of scale in the image was particularly good.
