New Features

Measurements in 3D Model Viewer (Premium Feature)

• There are now three measurement modes available to a user through the ‘+’ button on the model viewer context menu.
  • Virtual surface to Virtual surface (model measurement)
  • Real surface to Real surface (mesh measurement)
  • Real surface to Virtual surface (mesh to model measurement)
  • 

Virtual to Virtual Measurement

• Users can measure between two points on the virtual holographic model.
• The gaze cursor will automatically snap to vertices in the model. Tap to start the measurement and tap again to complete it.
• 
• 

Real surface to Real surface

• Users can create measurements on a real world surface in two ways:
  • Orthogonal measurements between a plane and a point
  • Measurement between two points
  • 

Orthogonal measurements

• Users can measure the perpendicular distance between a plane and a point.
• First select the plane and then pick the corresponding point opposite it.
• 
• 

Measurement between two points

• Users can “free measure” between two points in the real world without any restriction to a certain axis.

Real to Virtual

• Users can measure between a point in the real world and a point on the virtual model
  • This tool will first instruct the user to scan their environment to ensure a high-quality mesh.
  • The user will then select the point in the real world, followed by the point on the virtual model.
  • This mode is enabled only when the model is in an immersive 1:1 scale
  • 
  • 

App update notification

• Users will henceforth be notified when an app update is available.
• 

Improvements

Model Viewer - Context Menu - Auto Hide

• The model viewer context menu will automatically render itself into a minimized state when not in use for more than 2 seconds.
  • The menu will expand to its original state when once again gazed upon by the user.
  • The menu will not minimize when it has been pinned to a surface.
  • 
  • 

Pivot-Based Alignment

• The workflow, user interface, and ease-of-use of the pivot-based alignment tool have been improved.
• 
• 

Plane-Based Alignment

• The workflow, user interface, and ease-of-use of the plane-based alignment feature have been improved.
• 
• 

• Cautionary splash-screen has been added upon launch of the app.
• 

• Alert message is now shown when the QR scan fails.
• This failure is generally due to no internet connection on the HoloLens or an expired QR code on the mobile device.

• Application start splash screen has been updated.

Bug fixes

• Application sometimes gets stuck when anchoring models
• Model download fails for certain models forcing app restart
• Hyperlink fixes in the ‘About’ section
• ToDo - "Tap to Enter" text is not shown for "Type" when the user is the assignee of a ToDo
• Todo - "Tap to enter " label is not shown for “Type” for an existing ToDo that does not have a type
• Project browser - Project browser search results display lock images in UI when there are locked projects
• Menu in a remote collaboration session sometimes deforms when a user performs a particular sequence of actions
• Open source attribute in “About” page has been updated
