Features​

  • You can add a watermark to the terrace.

Version 2.1.1 (K3.Core: 9.0.9-153-demo)​

October 14, 2024

Bug Fixes​

  • In certain cases, the detailed information for a configuration could no longer be opened.
  • The editor no longer displays an error message after reopening the same configurator in the admin panel.

Version 2.1.0 (K3.Core: 9.0.9-rc)​

September 12, 2024

Features​

  • We now support an additional option for arranging handles on sliding glass doors. In addition to “left” and “all doors,” there is now also an “left and right” option.
  • We now support tinted glass in the side elements. Each side can have a different color. This applies only to side elements with glass.
  • We now support surface-mounted rafters. The size of the top and bottom strips can be adjusted via an attribute.
  • We now support interior shading. This means that the awning is not installed in its own box but is built into the wall connection. It also runs much closer to the rafters on separate, thinner tracks.
  • Enclosures for vertical awnings are now available in various colors.
  • We now support corrugated and trapezoidal sheet metal roofing. These are only practical in combination with cubic systems to enable carports.
  • The vertical awning can now be adjusted more precisely using additional parameters: for example, the size of the housing and the length of the fabric projection.

Bug Fixes​

  • Round posts were positioned differently than square posts due to an incorrect center calculation.
  • We now support the privacy screen as an option so that it can cover the full height of the side wall.
  • The rear privacy screen no longer reacts to the roof pitch—which previously caused the wall to be cut at an angle by mistake.
  • The awning division on the rafters now works more precisely and does not encounter problems with intermediate dimensions.
  • Numerous bug fixes for the side elements in certain situations. In some cases, gaps appeared or parts were built too large. This has been refined, resulting in fewer visible issues.
  • Warning messages that appeared when side parts were removed—for example, due to a change in dimensions—are now a thing of the past.
  • Issues with the structural beam have been resolved. It no longer floats freely in the air when a roof overhang is selected.
  • The support rails for vertical awnings have been adjusted so that they no longer protrude “into the ground.”
  • “Interior View Mode” has been removed due to camera issues.

Miscellaneous​

  • Awnings should load faster.
  • Night mode should load faster.
  • Performance improvements thanks to the k3/core update.
  • The vertical awning 3D model has been completely replaced with R3F code, so it now loads significantly faster and runs more smoothly.

June 27, 2024

Features​

  • Dimensions can now also be specified in mm
  • Slats can now be colored independently of the profile color
