3D view · Keyboard moves in 3D · Compaction you can see
Move around 3D frames like a 3D app, see when Claude compacts a long chat, switch between big chats without a freeze, and a round of canvas fixes.
New
- 3D view: look around a 3D frame without moving its camera. Middle-drag to orbit (Shift to pan, Ctrl or Cmd to zoom), Option-drag its background or Option-scroll over it. With a 3D layer selected, a 3D view bar shows Orbit, Pan and Zoom to drag, a View menu (Camera, Front, Back, Left, Right, Top, Bottom) and Set camera to keep the view. Exports, screenshots and the AI still use the frame's camera
- Keyboard moves in 3D: G moves and R rotates the selected 3D layers, with X / Y / Z to lock an axis, Shift for a plane and typed numbers; Enter or click to keep, Esc or right-click to cancel
- Compaction you can see: when Claude compacts a long conversation it shows as "Compacting conversation..." and then the tokens before and after, instead of a send that seems to do nothing for minutes. Typing /compact in a Claude chat runs Claude's own compaction
Improvements
- Faster chat switching: leaving a big chat no longer freezes the window (2.4 s to 0.1 s), the last chats you were in reopen at once, and long chats open in under half a second
- Faster path traced exports: up to 3 times faster (a chair render 15 s to 5 s, a living room 44 s to 34 s), with progress that tracks the real work and less battery use while the window is in the background
- The AI asks before tracing: path traced exports slow the computer down, so the AI asks first unless you asked for the traced render
- Design tags while the AI works: Mention and Build for a selected layer stay in the composer during a turn, so they can go into a queued message
Fixes
- Canvas opening by itself: a team design no longer opens the canvas and a new chat on every start
- Canvas on the right project at startup: the canvas starts on the restored chat's project instead of switching to it a few seconds later
- No saves of unchanged designs: opening a project no longer saves it again when nothing changed
- Saves across a project switch: a save running while the canvas switched projects could write pages into the other project; it now stops cleanly
- 3D selection: clicks outside a 3D frame no longer select it or its layers, and following the AI stays on the frame
