📏 Dimension annotations can be added to Interactive 3D and Virtual Photography experiences!
Threekit can measure models in realtime and display measurements in a variety of units or can refer to imported Catalog metadata for the measurement value. They an be displayed conditionally using Attributes like any other product option.
To add Dimensions to either your model or scene assets, use either the new Box Dimensions
or Line Dimensions
annotations:
Box Dimensions
Box Dimensions can be used to display the overal dimensions of one or more products in a stage. For example, you can measure one sofa, the size of a modular sofa as it's configured, or the overall floor space needed for a living room arrangement:
Use Target Nodes
to select what you want to measure, either by node names or node tags. Note that node tags can be used to measure tagged nodes within an asset reference. For example, a scene can measure between tagged nodes within a model placed in a scene.
You can configure the unit type and rounding. Threekit supports mm
, cm
, m
, yards
, feet
, inches
, and feet and inches
,
You can also select which dimensions to measure: Width
, Height
, and Length
. Within each dimension, you can select the annotaiton placement, use a custom label, and control the annotation offset.
Line Dimensions
Line Dimensions can be used to measure any two points. For example, you can measure the seat depth of a sofa, the arm width, or the clearance of one part to another:
Use Start Node
and End Node
to select what you want to measure, either by node names or node tags. Note that node tags can be used to measure tagged nodes within an asset reference. For example, a scene can measure between tagged nodes within a model placed in a scene.
Dimension Styling
Dimension annotation styling includes color, font, line thickness, and font size:
Note that you can upload Fonts to Threekit as Assets and use those with annotations.
Virtual Photography
Dimension annotations will render as you see them in the player with no additional set up. Adding dimensions at scale to virtual photography is as easy as adding Dimensions to a Scene
, selecting the associated Stage
at render time along with the Items
you'd like to measure:
Render results can then be fetched using the Threekit API or downloaded from the Render results page:

🎚 2D Player Image Settings can be used to drastically improve User Experience by optimizing images at scale. In the Player Settings
section, you can optimize images displayed in the Threekit player:
You can control the file format using Compression Type
, Resolution
, and Quality
settings.
For best performance, it is recommended that Webp
be used along with Adaptive
resolution. This setting will display the best result based on screen size and can lead to a ~70% file size improvement.
By default, the settings are kept as PNG
and Original
so that Organizations can opt-in.
⚙️ Local attributes can now be used on Catalog Items and be mapped to Global Attributes
in Composite
Assets. This provides the ability to reuse Composite
assets with Catalog Items where the name of the attributes match.
For example, Catalog Items can have Local attributes
named Fabric with differing value and be used with a Composite
asset that uses a Global attribute
named Fabric.
⚙️ Additional Vray Properties have been exposed in Threekit for the Subdiv/Displacement operator:
-
Subdivision operator:
- Classic Catmull Clark
-
Displacement operator:
- Keep continuity
- Enable Water Level
- Water level
- Displacement bounds
- Automatic (default)
- Manual
- Min value
- Max value
WebGL
💡 Unlit operator has been added to PBR materials to give you better control over materials.
Unlit materials
can also be created from the new Asset screen:
By adding the Unlit
operator, a material will not be affected by any scene lighting.
Typical Material:

⚙️ WebGL Roughness can be controlled via the Features
page to use either the current Legacy
roughness or new, more accurate gLTF1 2
spec roughness. This means that there are less modifications to do in Threekit to get the best looking results.
Existing organizations will be set to Legacy
to retain the current experiences. New organizations will be set to glTF 2
.
