v2.4.7

Bug Fixes

• We fixed an issue with the new dynamic clipping plane that resulted in distant geometry being clipped from view after the first viewing.

v2.4.6

Bug Fixes

• We fixed a crash that occurred when double-clicking in Preview mode as the model finishes loading.
• We fixed an issue preventing the deletion of flagged elements in Revit files through the new PDL Notes feature when the Iris Viewer was closed.

v2.4.5

Bug Fixes

• We fixed a crash that occurred when switching to certain Viewpoints after they were reordered in the Prospect Desktop Library.

v2.4.4

Bug Fixes

• We resolved a crash that occurred at the start of certain Meeting files, when a saved state file attempted to read another state file that did not exist.

v2.4.3

Bug Fixes

• We fixed an issue that caused the Prospect plugin to not appear on some earlier versions of Rhino 6.

v2.4.2

Bug Fixes

• We fixed an issue that occasionally caused user's libraries to not display their experiences from previous versions. If you updated to 2.4.0 or 2.4.1 and you think any files are not appearing, please contact support@irisvr.com.
• We fixed an issue with mesh decimation that caused missing triangles in some files. We also implemented a toggle in Prospect's Settings panel to allow you to turn off mesh decimation before re-processing a file if you run into any issues.
• We fixed an issue in which sometimes files would not finish processing if Prospect was not already open before using an IrisVR plugin.
• We fixed an issue that resulted in billboard objects not reflecting time-of-day lighting changes.
• We reduced the frequency with which haptic feedback activates in Rift, Vive, and WindowsMR controllers.

v2.4.1

Bug Fixes

• We fixed an issue that prevented multiple guests from joining the same VR Meeting session.
• We fixed an issue that prevented guests from double clicking IVM and IVZ files to open them.
• We fixed an issue changing the screenshot folder location in Default Settings.
• We fixed an issue where in some large files, automatic images captured alongside flagged elements included a clipped skybox, causing a blue circle to appear behind the model's geometry.

v2.4

New Features

• Reports -Now, in any single-user experience or as the host of a meeting, you can add flagged elements and camera captures to an experience's Report, add notes to each entry simultaneously in the Library or after exiting VR, and export the Report as a PDF.
• Revit metadata at your fingertips -Using the Inspect Element tool, you can now access all relevant instance and type properties associated with your Revit families.

Enhancements

• Rhino 6 support -We've added support for Rhino 6 to our Rhino plugin. Grasshopper users should continue to download the plugin from Food for Rhino.
• New Prospect Desktop Library -While, at a glance, your desktop library will look largely the same, looks can be deceiving. We've completely overhauled it to:
  • significantly improve speed and performance, especially while viewing large datasets such as experiences with many viewpoints
  • support use of the library while the VR window is running and while files are processing
  • provide a visible queue for file processing
  • allow for importing of multiple SketchUp, OBJ, FBX, or IrisVR IVM and IVZ files at once
  • perform batch actions on files with common shift+select and ctrl+select interactions
• Navisworks Beta #2 -In addition to general stability and performance improvements, we've:
  • updated the plugin workflow to load the geometry shown in the active Navisworks viewport. This includes support for section planes and boxes.
  • added support for choosing which camera views export to VR via a selection window
• Frame rate improvements with mesh decimation -We're now optimizing elements with high mesh density in our pre-processing engine to improve framerate performance and stability in VR. You shouldn't notice any difference with how your files look, but the experience in them should be smoother than ever.
• Dynamic far clip plane calculation -If you've ever loaded a file into Prospect with a very large area, you may have noticed that we clipped the visible extents on the horizon as you moved about the experience. We've now implemented dynamic calculation of this clipping distance, so you'll always be able to see the furthest extents of your file while still enjoying high performance.
• Reduced Z-fighting in the menu in large files -We know that there was quite a bit of Z-fighting in the in-VR menu in very large files, so we made improvements to significantly reduce this.
• SketchUp, OBJ and FBX processing improvements -These files will now import faster and with a higher quality end result.

Bug Fixes

• We fixed a bug in which avatars' pointers in Meetings were sometimes cast at the wrong angle for other users
• We fixed a bug in which the sphere at the end of the laser when using the Section tool sometimes appeared offset from the laser
• We fixed a bug that, if the Section tool was active, would cause the section plane to move as the model was moved or rotated.
• We fixed an issue where SketchUp elements that were not properly grouped were ending up on many layers—any ungrouped elements will not only appear on the default layer.

Known Issues

• Elements that cross Navisworks sections will not be sectioned in Prospect. We are working to address this in a future release of the Navisworks plugin.

v2.3.1

Bug Fixes

• [Prospect Desktop Launcher] - Fixes an issue where in some instances, you could not launch files as a guest.
• [Prospect Desktop Launcher] - Fixes a rare crash when processing files where a vertex belongs to more than 255 triangles. 
• [VR Window] - Fixes an issue where the axis could not be changed for FBX files. 
• [Multiuser] - Resolves an issue where no-HMD users' names would sometimes not appear in the meeting panel.

v2.3

New Features

• [Prospect Desktop Launcher] - Navisworks, meet Prospect. With this release, we've included an all-new beta integration with Navisworks. After installing V2.3, you'll see an IrisVR Plugin appear in a new "IrisVR" tab in Navisworks. Click this button to bring your project over to Prospect.
• [VR Window] - Automatic door fade. Open door policy now in effect. Even if you import a model with the doors closed throughout, you can now simply aim your teleportation path at any appropriately named/categorized door, and the door will fade out, allowing you to navigate freely through it. In No-Headset mode, doors won't get in your way either—double click on any door to teleport through.
• [VR Window] - Hide Elements. Now you see it, now you don't. Enjoy more nuanced control over your model's visibility with the ability to hide individual elements via the Inspect Element menu. Select any element to hide or unhide it at will, or bring back all hidden elements with the "unhide all" button.
• [VR Window] - Meeting hosts. Take charge of your meetings. Meeting hosts now have more power to guide the conversation in a meeting with the ability to mute other meeting participants on an individual or group basis using the mic icons in the Meetings menu. Additionally, meeting hosts now have the sole ability to bring along all participants to a viewpoint or gather all users to their location.

Enhancements

• [VR Window] - Section cut line weight. Sections as you'd expect to see them. ****For improved legibility when sectioning your models in Scale Model Mode, you'll now see black caps and outlines on any geometry being sectioned.
• [VR Window] - Mute in meetings. Whether or not you're a host in a meeting, we've added the ability to mute yourself. Click the mic icon next to your name to turn your mic on and off.
• [VR Window] - Dynamic teleport cursor without a headset. We realized that it wasn't always evident in No-Headset Mode where you could teleport within a model, so we've added a contextual cursor to provide some clarity. Whether in Scale Model or Real-Scale Mode, you'll see a target appear with your mouse when you hover over any geometry to which you can teleport.
• [Prospect Desktop Launcher] - Faster file processing. We've made some very exciting improvements under the hood to how we process your files for VR. You should see newly imported files process faster and more reliably than ever.

Bug Fixes

• [VR Window] - We fixed an issue in which the section plane could unintentionally end up far above the model and/or out of view.
• [VR Window] - We fixed an issue in which actively selected elements that had already been flagged did not appear red while selected.

Known Issues

• Viewpoints in IVZs exported from older versions of Prospect will have Sun Settings of midnight on January 1st.
• Only the first 100 viewpoints will be shown in the desktop library to prevent performance issues. However, all viewpoints will be accessible in VR.

v2.2

New Features

• [VR Window] - Make model reviews and presentations more dynamic by creating new viewpoints in VR that include layer state, display settings, sun settings, and section position.
• [VR Window and Pro & Pro Plus Library] - Viewpoints are now easier to manage with automatically generated thumbnails for both existing viewpoints and those created in VR. After the file has been launched once, these thumbnails will appear in both the in-VR Viewpoints menu as well as in the Viewpoints list in the Library's right-hand panel.
• [VR Window] - Customize your preferences without leaving VR. We've redesigned the in-VR menu to include a dedicated settings panel, providing control over preferences including toggling your teleportation style, flight increment, comfort mode, and relaunching the tutorial.
• [VR Window] We've begun adding some subtle sound effects to the VR menu, to better indicate interactions taken with it. You can turn them off at any time from the in-VR Settings menu.

Enhancements

• [VR Window] - Contextual auto-exposure now mimics the way the human eye adjusts to transitions between differently lit environments such as going from bright exterior daylight to a dimmer interior.
• [VR Window and Pro & Pro Plus Library] - Your changes, exactly where you left them. Now, when you close an experience launched from your Library, your annotations, sun settings, model position, flagged elements, and sections state will persist to subsequent launches of that experience.
• [VR Window - Meetings] - In a similar vein, improvements to the server that powers Meetings now provide resilient persistence of changes made to the meeting experience (model position, sun settings, layer state, annotations, etc)
• [VR Window] - We noticed that sometimes interior spaces were being cast with light that felt a little bit too blue, so we decreased the saturation of the global reflection probe to reduce this effect while keeping exterior spaces feeling largely the same.
• [VR Window] - We've also made improvements to texture loading and material detection.
• [VR Window and Pro & Pro Plus Library] - Say hello to #4D9DE3. Prospect is now up to speed with our new, more refined, brand identity.

Bug Fixes

• [VR Window] - We fixed an issue where users on machines with drivers for unsupported input devices (such as the 3DConnexion SpaceMouse) caused No Headset Mode users to lose control of navigation.
• [VR Window] - We fixed some placement and display logic issues with controller tooltips for WindowsMR controllers.
• [VR Window] - We fixed an issue where circular Callout previews would not deactivate when teleportation was initiated causing temporary confusion as to whether or not the callout had been placed in error
• [VR Window] - We fixed a crash that occurred when loading files that contain 2x2 textures
• [VR Window] - We fixed an issue in which some SketchUp materials could be incorrectly shared between components
• [Prospect File Processor] - We fixed a crash in the file processing pipeline on machines without Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable installed

Known Issues

• [VR Window] - Autoexposure will not yet be reflected in 360 Panorama captures—this will be resolved in an upcoming release.
