Viewer Release Notes: v6.0

Default blog image

NOTE: This release includes breaking changes described below. As a workaround, affected users may append version number to href and src tags to stay with an earlier version, such as ?v=3.3.*

Changed

  • Performance improvement for PDF loading.  Stops id pass for leaflet files.
  • Performance: Delay setting light presets until we have a model. This avoids loading and decoding environment maps when displaying 2D models.
  • Improved getScreenShot to allow arbitrary size screenshots. (BREAKING CHANGE: See Removed section below for details.)
