For certain prompts, the renders would appear to be less sharp on Revit and Rhino when using the new v6 Render Engine . This is now fixed!!

To install the new version, please use the link in the post above.
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
adjusted SketchUp base image line thickness to be more pronounced
this allows Veras to more accurately render the geometrical features

Reverted the SketchUp base image lineweight to the 1.6.0.0 values.
Muy buen trabajo, yo creo que la inclusiĂłn de personas permite una mejor percepciĂłn de la escala en la imagen.
