Isometric thumbnail with visual’s on

This is a minor feature. It would be helpful to have designs show up in the library in an isometric view with visualizations on. It somewhat does this already, but I think it is currently a bug.

This will both add to the library ascetic and make it so documents don’t look empty.

Also note: to get the program to do this I open the visualization tool and closed the project after I set the camera to home position.

Awesome!
Yeah, it may be a bug. I expect you probably know that Shapr had this feature up until the last release, when they forced all projects to have a default 3/4 thumbnail view.

I used to be able to simply exit with visualization on, and it would save exactly what was onscreen, as the thumbnail. I relied heavily on this feature in all the years I’ve been using Shapr and I expect that I’m not alone.

I was able to replicate your method by selecting Default View, then selecting Sync Now, prior to exiting. It even saved the camera blur in the thumbnail.

This thumbnail image below, was originally achievable simply by closing with visualization on. I certainly hope they restore this capability soon.

As I recall, it was even possible for the thumbnail to show a section, if section was turned on.
Does that sound familiar or am I perhaps imagining that?

Actually I found an old file with a thumbnail showing a section.
(It’s not in visualization mode of course, but at least it proves it was possible to show sections in thumbnails)

Of course I can’t open these old files without destroying the thumbnails, so I won’t open them unless I absolutely have to.
