this page highlights our monthly releases to production here you can read about new features, iterations, or workflows in the annotation app we are currently only delivering updates to our next environment go to beta releases docid\ gkvege qvk8xqbg1i7lye if you want to see what has been released lately this is due to our summer holidays, and will last throughout july/ early august september (7) updates to 3d mouse navigation 2026 09 02 we have made updates to the 3d mouse navigation behavior the setting that enabled you to drag the 3d scene is now removed it is now always enabled you can simply click and drag yourself around in 3d we have also updated the panning behavior it is now "screen space" panning which means the view moves directly parallel to the computer screen rather than along the ground plane orthographic 3d camera projection 2026 09 02 you are now able to change between perspective and a orthographic projection for the main 3d camera in the top menu you find it under view > 3d camera projection view docid\ uqzmvcnqfx8nyuzfkizex follow the ego vehicle in aggregated scenes 2026 09 02 aggregated scenes now have a follow ego vehicle option in the 3d camera mode menu turn it on to keep the camera at the same offset to the ego vehicle as you step between frames, so the ego stays in view when you jump to a frame from a scene property it is off by default, so the camera stays still until you enable it 3d camera mode docid\ uqzmvcnqfx8nyuzfkizex automatic location pin for 3d line and lane feedback 2026 09 02 feedback on a 3d line or lane in lidar now places a pin at the point you clicked or at the node you selected when you opened the add feedback form go to pin on the feedback card takes the annotator straight to that spot the pin follows a single object and is removed if you select a second one add feedback docid\ dyap cmm72dmzpvz6e5lb show the area between linked lines and lanes 2026 09 02 turn on view > show object link area to shade the area between two linked 3d lines or lanes in lidar, so you see which stretch each link covers instead of only the arrow between them a shape with several links gets one color per area show object link area docid\ uqzmvcnqfx8nyuzfkizex object links docid\ zicm7avhq1eaf hkrqlfp show node indices on 3d lines and lanes 2026 09 02 turn on view > show node indices to number the nodes of 3d lines and lanes, starting at 1, so you can refer to a node by its number in review feedback the numbering follows your 3d node mode setting, and the selected line's nodes are numbered in the picture in picture projection as well view docid\ uqzmvcnqfx8nyuzfkizex property overlay docid\ nhzgrcsfqjgcxo2bphp7v scene properties in the video bar 2026 09 02 scene properties now show up in the video bar's property values mode select scene properties in the object list to see every value and every change across the sequence, instead of stepping through frame by frame optional properties left undetermined show as a light grey bar rather than a red one property values mode docid\ lgkrgazwtbqz bgqfeh3n august (10) region of interest range filter for 2d projections 2026 08 17 in projects where each camera has its own region of interest range, 3d objects farther away than that range are no longer projected into that camera's image, and create connected 2d box no longer creates a box in frames where the object is out of range this keeps the camera views clear of objects the camera cannot usefully see you can switch the filtering off with the new roi range filter checkbox in window > projection settings projection settings docid\ nkkzt8vb6few2mw7m0i5t choose which mouse button orbits and which pans 2026 08 17 the 3d camera's mouse buttons can now be swapped go to edit → camera orbit / pan mapping and pick left click to orbit, right click to pan if you would rather orbit with the left mouse button, or keep the default right click to orbit, left click to pan the mapping applies to both fly control and orbit control and is remembered between tasks camera orbit / pan mapping docid\ g3x7x8egjvsv2jzriqsyq lidar camera controls docid\ t2jiuwrhjzxwemimm4muv hide objects by property value 2026 08 17 the property overlay now allows hiding objects, not just isolating hover a property value, click the hide icon, and objects with that value disappear from the scene while other classes stay visible — even objects with no value set you can hide multiple values at once and save them in a favorite filter property filters docid\ nhzgrcsfqjgcxo2bphp7v cuboid dimensions in the object cameras 2026 08 17 the object cameras now display the selected cuboid's size in meters, so you can check its dimensions without opening the object's properties each view labels the two sizes it displays, using your decimal places setting cuboid dimensions docid\ wq00nqtw hvavjskfarnn custom shortcuts for pixelated and histogram equalization 2026 08 04 assign custom keyboard shortcuts to pixelated docid\ uqzmvcnqfx8nyuzfkizex and histogram equalization docid\ uqzmvcnqfx8nyuzfkizex under view in the keybindings window shortcuts are unbound by default and appear in the menu once assigned bind the shortcuts in the keybindings window docid\ zeohmsoo kfy qzqnmny2 reset a task from the edit menu 2026 08 04 the reset button is gone from the bottom of the right side menu resetting now lives in the top menu bar under edit → reset my changes , so the right side menu keeps a single submit action and a reset is harder to trigger by mistake the confirmation dialog is also clearer about what you lose the shapes you added and the property values you changed are permanently deleted, and it cannot be undone reset my changes docid\ g3x7x8egjvsv2jzriqsyq submit & reset a task docid\ sqpfvjrjks0egmkwqbefp camera drawer expanded view 2026 08 04 the camera drawer now includes an expand the camera drawer button that expands it into a grid of all your camera sources at once, filling the working area so you see the whole rig at a glance on tasks with calibration and 5+ cameras, auto placement arranges cameras by their real world directions and flip rear cameras mirrors away facing ones like a rearview mirror; smaller rigs, or when auto placement is disabled, get a grid that keeps each image as large as possible the expanded camera drawer docid\ yxklcvomtebtlj06g704g 2d grid view iterations 2026 08 04 to enable quicker reviewing and interacting with properties in the 2d grid view, we've updated the overall experience there's a new toolbar available at the top of the page here you can navigate to the 3d view and switch between views you'll also find other task related tools or information we added a new hide/show option for the property value use when you want to hide the value in all thumbnails you are now able to edit property values directly via the thumbnail if a property can be changed in 2d, a dropdown will be available instead of a read only label we have added a button to the batch action bar that allows you to change the property value this is useful when you want to multi edit properties previously, we only had a shortcut available ctrl+q , but with the button, we hope for better exposure group images by frame or camera in the 2d grid 2026 08 04 you can now group the 2d image grid by frame or by camera source each group shows as a collapsible section the 2d grid view docid\ iswiuyx3ptr7adsl0mpau live validation/ checkers 2026 08 04 we currently have a feature in beta testing that applies the validation continuously on every change rather than when the "validate" button is clicked we'll refer to this feature as live validation if live validation \ is not active \ , the validation button is at the bottom right of the task view press it to validate the task if live validation \ is available \ , the task will be continuously evaluated, and no button will be shown read more under task validation docid 95req fnvamvdjk8pkwpc june (5) action assist 2d / 3d fusion 2026 06 16 action assist has new functionality when working with 2d boxes connected to 3d boxes improving the workflow that it guides you through if you have annotated the

access in the future property overlay docid\ nhzgrcsfqjgcxo2bphp7v combined pin + object feedback 2026 06 09 a feedback entry can now carry both a pin and an object id, so you can anchor an issue to a specific object and a spot in the scene without pasting the id into a comment two new error types — "missing shape" and "indicate incorrect dimension of object" — are designed for this combined mode and require both anchors add feedback docid\ dyap cmm72dmzpvz6e5lb combined location (pin) and object feedback docid\ fauphmobhckp4zbxyuait derived classes combined line 2026 06 09 a combined line is a derived line that joins two or more existing 3d lines into a single connected line, with a node at every selected node derived classes docid\ t7pvih7 6 q3nbueccdgf may (6) multi set properties & batch action bar 2026 05 26 quick properties now works on multiple selected objects, with chips colored by value and options that aren't valid for the full selection disabled a new batch action bar appears when 2+ objects are selected, providing one click access to set properties, paste properties, and add feedback (review tasks) for the entire selection quick properties multi selection docid\ jrg96ecgjb68hrhkc7k y multi selection docid\ kxsn m4wprpsbjqasn275 image selector 2026 05 26 a new property type where you select images from a list properties docid\ uwjx3tigr8rgs2eghw7fb copy object with properties 2026 05 26 a new essential shortcut, alt+ctrl+c / alt+cmd+c (macos), copies a selected object together with its properties pasting ctrl+v / cmd+v (macos) at the cursor drops a duplicate with the same properties, including object links works for single shapes and groups, in 2d and 3d hardcoded shortcuts docid\ rt8735oe4ibg57sysduz7 3d node mode 2026 05 26 a new 3d node mode picker in the view menu lets you choose how many nodes from unselected lines you want to see in the lidar view only the selected one, the end nodes of every line, or every node in the scene useful for checking node placement of all lines without having to click through each one 3d node mode docid\ rcyt2xxqz1qdwykj8mmwu show node ground alignment 2026 05 26 you can now color the 3d nodes of line and lane annotations by their distance to the ground toggle show node ground alignment docid\ rcyt2xxqz1qdwykj8mmwu in the view menu, and any node that floats above or below the ground stands out in \ orange \ or \ red \ , so you can quickly identify misaligned nodes action assist for 3d lanes (beta) 2026 05 12 action assist now works while drawing 3d lanes the same flow available for 3d lines — go to start, go to next point, auto step, and dashed stepping — guides you along the lane both with and without prelabels, so you can place nodes without navigating the camera manually currently in beta and subject to frequent changes action assist 3d lanes docid\ gmei4tv2bpx4ycplrqyee
