New Features

Trace Tool – Room Mode

  • Introduced Room Mode to automatically generate rooms on plans and enter in the text labels.
    • Room labels are now generated by reading text directly from the underlying graphics or annotations.
    • Optional toggle to generate rooms for all enclosed spaces where labels aren’t detected. Enabling this option will add additional rooms and use auto-generated labels, allowing for quick bulk room creation even when no text is available.

Trace Tool – Navigation Mode

  • Improved navmesh generation for cleaner results.
    • Lines no longer need to pass exactly through door centres.
    • Navmesh lines are no longer created through windows or run through wall blobs.

Trace Tool – Wall Mode

  • Walls now snap to 90 degrees when using heavy cleanup, this should result in a big improvement to the usable walls the Trace tool generates and cut down the time required to ‘fix’ the automated walls.
    • Best results occur when the graphic/camera is rotated so most walls are horizontal or vertical.

Room Label Casing Options

    • Complements automation by allowing users to change casing from the source graphic.
