In one of our biggest updates ever, today we’re rolling out fourteen new features and big changes and 10 bug fixes and improvements. All of these changes came as a result of our awesome users’ feedback. The biggest thing you’ll notice is just an overall change to the entire web interface. More space for your 3D models, easier navigation, and better experience with our range of desktop plugins.

Best of all, anyone can try out Konstru for free.

New Konstru Features

• We’ve removed “Projects” as a navigational element. All models are now directly available in a single list, so you don’t have to first choose “Project” from a list and then “Model” from another list. You can still have as many models as you like.
• We are introducing “Organizations” to make controlling access to your models easier. Any team you create or join is an organization, whether you all work for the same company or not. You control who you invite to your organization and what access level they have: Admin, Modeler, or Viewer.
  • Special note: Adding viewers is always free.
• Enhanced the Model Viewer by adding a history timeline, so you can now see when changes were made at a glance
• We generally improved the Filter Settings
• All Desktop Plugins have an entirely new user experience including:
  • Select Filters in Desktop Plugin
  • Improved Staging Dialog
  • Feedback about supported element types
• We created a new bundled installer for all Plugins, which searches for installed applications and installs only plugins for the software you have
• We’ve built a new Desktop Client for Dynamo, which is now available via the Dynamo Package Manager
• We’ve added a Material Mapper for all Plugins: Konstru now lets you map Materials
• We’ve added a Profile Mapper for all Plugins: Konstru now lets you map Section Profiles
• We’ve finished the RAM Plugin, and made lots of improvements, so this one is no longer alpha
• Added Analytical Geometry export for Revit Beams, Braces, and Columns
