We started asking our users what new features they wanted.

The most popular requests have been for features that we'd already implemented (but our users hadn't been able to find).

So we've added a right-click menu so our most powerful features are just a single click away!

Just a few years ago, getting a Virtual Reality preview of building or renovation works was a serious luxury requiring expensive equipment, and bespoke services from multiple professionals.

Now it's something you can DIY for less than $35...

@jake_ledner @aframevr @threejs Do you mean something like this?

I did some brief experiments last week with a GLB export into Marble, but didn't manage to get anything working properly.

Haven't given this a lot of time yet, though. Definitely some interesting potential here.

Honorable mentions 👏
Marble Estates turns a 2D floor plan into a fully explorable 3D property, generating walkable virtual tours aligned with the layout.
Also shoutout to other honorable mentions: Holocrime, Inkling, and Blocks.

Our floor plans are now entering the 3rd dimension. Either in your browser, or in your VR Headset...

While I'm still excited about building an amazing Scale Drawing and Floor Plan tool, I also can't help wondering about a sideline in virtual sticker books for kids...
