v1.5
Issued
  1. v1.56 changes

    Variant entry points

    • Explorer accounts can now keep one saved drawing, so there is somewhere to pick up next visit; Fabricator keeps every drawing you save
    • Catalogue rows now show the variants a customer asks for by name (horizontal slats, elliptical louvres, semi-frameless or channel glass, wire balustrade, arched tops, bin or air-con or pool-pump enclosures) as chips, each opening the model already set to that variant so the first drawing matches the brief
    • Catalogue search understands those words too: try "horizontal slat gate", "wire balustrade" or "bin enclosure"
    • On the model page a variant switch is a segmented toggle at its field and a strip at the top of the rail, instead of a dropdown in the fourth section; the section header states the chosen option
    • Variant illustrations: horizontal slats, elliptical blades, wire infill, semi-frameless and channel glass, arched and level tops
    • Renamed the five Amenity Enclosure models to Bin & Utility Enclosure, and dropped "Frameless" from the two glass models since they also offer channel and semi-frameless mounting. The old names still search

    Spear Top / Palisade Gate Family

    • Added 5 new spear-top palisade models: pedestrian gate, sliding gate, double-swing gate, fence panel, and pedestrian gate with side panels

    • Configurable tip style: crimped 4-sided pyramid or cast/welded arrowhead with optional decorative collar
    • Configurable rail pass-through per gate: through-top with 100mm protrusion or flush-with-top, plus through-bottom, flush-with-bottom, or cut-into-bottom
    • New SDK primitives crimped_tip and arrowhead_tip wired end-to-end through orthographic projection, SVG, PDF isometric, STEP export, and the Three.js 3D viewer
    • Bespoke catalogue illustrations for every spear-top variant
    • Glossary entries for palisade, spear, arrowhead, and crimped-tip cross-linked to the new models
