Is it possible to add the auto rotation function on the Android application as on the iOS application ?

Hi Alexandre,

By auto rotation are you referring to landscape mode for the mobile app ? If that is correct , its on our roadmap.

If you are referring to something else, can you please provide more details so that we can assess.

Thank you Darshan, I hope this update will come soon, do you have idea of its release? My colleague who is a fan of Iphone makes fun of Android. More seriously, this feature is essential for everyday use.

Hi Alexandre,

Most welcome. Will keep you and the forum posted when this is made available for Android.

It great to know that this feature is essential for everyday use. One possible scenario that I can think of is viewing the 3D model and carrying out operations. Are there other use cases that you need this for? It would be great if you could share some with us. Knowing facts from users helps us.

Hello @Darshan Rajaram Kamat

I agree with @Alexandre Collin This feature is much badly needed. We use the tablets to view models on a daily basis and to be able to view in landscape would be very beneficial. Also we view construction drawings on the tablet also and the majority of these documents are printed in landscape pdf so the site teams would benefit from being able to see them on the tablet in the same way.

Nice to get inputs from you as well. Point noted. We will assess on when this can be done and will keep you posted once we have updates.

Hello @Darshan Rajaram Kamat,

Do you have any news about updating this feature for Android?

Same question here !!

Hello Alexandre/Bryan,

It is a priority item for us. Our UX team will be beginning work on this soon. This will be followed by implementation. The extent of changes for implementation will be huge given that it impacts the entire application. Hence the timeline for achieving the same will be quite substantial.

Any updates on the landscape mode?

Jm

Dear Jm,

There are no updates yet. I am providing the explanation below.

We were working on one solution for the 3D model viewer to solve the issues - post which we had planned to take landscape mode. However, this option is failing in the Sanity cases (basic functionalities) . Hence we are now exploring another approach. Once this works , we will be able to asses the landscape mode. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Hi

What about the update with the landscape mode?
Do you have a date when it comes? It's been almost two years already.

Thanks for the answer

@Darshan Rajaram Kamat, What about it?
