VNTANA Viewer

• More granular viewer events have been exposed in the NPM package and iFrame.

  • The events include Fullscreen, QR Modal open and close, Zoom Reset (Recenter), Zoom In/Out (mouse and buttons), and interactions such as panning, zooming, and rotating.

  • At this time, these events will not be reflected in the Analytics dashboard. They can be captured by the page embedding them via a postMessage sent by the iFrame or the events themselves when using the NPM package.

  • Always use pagination for the Admin and Public API.

    • The maximum value allowed for page size is 500. Any higher values will be limited to 500. This is a breaking change, be sure to make necessary updates before the Rate Limits go into effect.

• The camera movement speed when moving after a hotspot click has been reduced to match previous behavior.

Admin API

Bug Fixes

VNTANA Platform

• Moved the Settings and Support buttons into the User Profile dropdown in the upper right corner of the Platform.

  • Buttons were previously found in the bottom left corner.

• Free/trial organizations can now upload and optimize CAD file types.

• Select viewer settings now no longer trigger regeneration of thumbnails.

  • Background, Embed UI options, Auto Rotation and related settings, and Mouse Controls.

• The new Client role now does not have access to Showrooms.

VNTANA Viewer

• Hotspots and Annotations will now be properly updated when a transformation is applied to new assets or existing assets that have been reprocessed post April 17,2025.

  • Covers scenarios where a rotation was baked into the model (Scene Settings), model scale was adjusted, or the Pivot Point was changed resulting in a translation in the model.

  • This change is not retroactive. Existing assets would need to be reprocessed to obtain the necessary transform data applied to the model before any new transform is applied. Even in this scenario, if the hotspots/annotations were already misaligned due to a transformation, reprocessing will not fix this misalignment and they will have to be recreated at the correct spot.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue with bulk cloning non-3D assets.

• Fixed an issue which resulted in duplication of some metadata when cloning an Asset.

• Fixed an issue preventing users from de-collapsing the left side bar if it was collapsed.

• Fixed an issue where certain UI components overlapped the notifications window.

• Fixed an issue with Field of View where setting the minimum to 0 and then FoV to 0 resulted in the Viewer using the default which is not 0deg.

VNTANA Viewer

• v2.0 has officially been released!

• Provides enhanced Camera controls.

  • Switch between perspective and orthographic camera types.

  • Set Field of View (perspective) or Orthographic Size (orthographic camera).

  • Orbit Limits sub-section of Camera Settings has been replaced with the following settings:

    • Camera Distance.

    • Rotation around the x and y axis.

    • X, Y, and Z Pivot Points.

  • Camera controls each allow the setting of an auto value (default), and some allow the minimum or maximum allowable value to be adjusted.

    • Note: the minimum and maximum values themselves have allowable ranges. These just allow you to further restrict those ranges.

  • Camera controls are now stored in viewer presets as well.

• Rotation has been added to the options of mouse controls that can be disabled.

• For each mouse control, the sensitivity of the control can be adjusted.

• A toggle to enable/disable Screen Space Reflections has been added to the Post Processing Settings section.

  • Found in the Screen Space Effects sub-section.

• The UI options for the viewer have been added to the Viewer Settings panel under Embed Settings.

  • These options will update the buttons that appear in the viewer both on the platform and in embed links.

    • Note: In order for these options to appear in the embed link, a new link must be copied after changing these settings.

    • AR buttons on desktop and mobile views.

    • Fullscreen button.

    • Recenter button.

    • Zoom buttons.

  • Set the height/width of the viewer in embed links (this does not impact the viewer when viewed on the platform).

  • Check out our demo repository to see the latest version and documentation.

VNTANA Platform

• Renders

  • With the update to the Viewer and camera controls, renders will now generate based on the Position set in the Viewer.

  • To enable this, simply set the camera in the viewer to the position desired and press the Set From View button in the Camera Controls section of viewer settings.

    • This does not automatically regenerate renders. To do this, navigate to the renders tab and click the Render Images button.

• STEP Output

  • We now offer STEP output as one of the optimization formats as an add-on feature. Please reach out to our sales team to discuss enabling this for your organization.

• Public Share Links

  • When sharing a set of Assets for download via a public share link, it is now possible to exempt the original asset from the list of downloadable versions, preventing those with the share link from accessing it.

    • They would only be able to download the optimized versions, not the original IP.

    • This is an add-on option, please reach out to our sales team to enable this for your organization.

Admin API

• With the new Viewer, a new interface has been created resulting in a change to the viewerSettings parameter of an Asset returned in the Asset search endpoints.

  • The new version of viewerSettings will continue to store the old viewer settings as value, while the new version will be stored as config.

• The config parameter above has also been added to the response for a viewer settings preset when calling the /v1/viewer-settings/by-organization endpoint.

VNTANA Platform

• Quality of Life

  • Updated search filter behavior to ensure applied filters are retained when refreshing or copying the link.

  • Merged the ‘Comments’ tab with Annotations, so all comments and annotations on an asset will appear in the ‘Annotations’ tab of an Asset.

    • In the case of bulk review, the link provided will instead direct to the workspace with filters for Waiting for Reviewor Client Review.

    • Client Dropped

    • Client Hold

• Webhooks have been updated to reflect these changes.

Admin API

• Updated Attachments Resumable Upload endpoint to allow designation of attachment as a RENDER resulting in it appearing in the renders tab of an Asset, not the Attachments tab.
