Object Builder release notes

What's new in each version of Wayline Object Builder, newest first.

2.2

Up to date and quiet to build

Latest

Built on Electron 45, a supported version that still gets security fixes (2.1 used Electron 39, which no longer does).
Updated build tools. npm install no longer warns about blocked install scripts: the two the build needs are allowed and the one it doesn't need is blocked.

2.1

Several objects in one project, listed in a Workspace panel: rename, hide, duplicate, group and ungroup, and drag parts between objects. Each one exports on its own.
New buildings start square to the grid (rotation 0, 0, 0), with the angle on the map kept for reference.
Shapes: cubes, cylinders, steps, arches, plus paving, garden walls, fences, hedges, trees, lamp posts, chimneys, dormers and porches.
Texture library: 55 built-in British materials plus free photo textures from ambientCG. Tile size is in metres, so textures repeat instead of stretching.
Street view: look around in Instant Street View, capture what you see, crop or straighten it and put it on a wall.
More tools: Rotate, Duplicate, Mirror, To ground, Merge points; roofs get real eaves; painting gets textures, soft brushes and Fill.
Exports are low poly and each object gets its own folder. A new custom installer is sharp on high-DPI screens.

2.0

The Wayline Studio look: menu bar, ribbon, docked panels and an Outline / Model workflow.
Make building gives a plain block; roofs and details are yours to add, never guessed.
Drag tools for moving, scaling, pulling faces in and out, insets, the knife and cut shapes.
