New Features/Enhancements:

Parts

Non-discoverable parts: Added a new ‘non-discoverable’ field to SBOM and Master Parts List imports, allowing parts to be hidden from search results.

⁠

Bidirectional SBOM imports: SBOM imports are now bidirectional, meaning that child service parts can be added and removed from parent assemblies during import.

Illustrations

Organization-level activation: Illustrations are now activated at the organization level instead of per-seat subscriptions. Contact

sales@zea.live⁠

for activation.

Removed the limited Editor (Trial) role.

View interpolation: Added a view interpolation option to toggle between incremental and non-incremental illustrations.

Incremental is for story-driven illustrations where each view builds on the previous one.

Non-incremental is for technical illustrations where views are independent, such as wiring diagrams.

Added a settings option in the File menu for view interpolation and publishing preferences.

⁠

Desktop

Files no longer deleted: Files deleted from local storage are no longer removed from Zea when syncing. Instead, missing files are flagged with a red ‘Not found’ label.

⁠

Hidden parts are now processed and remain hidden rather than being skipped.

The internal SDK used to process CAD data has been migrated to the Datakit SDK.

This now provides support for additional file formats, including smg, smgGeom, vda and qif.

Bug Fixes:

Parts

Fixed a layout issue where the search bar was hidden when scrolling in a BOM.

Illustrations

Fixed a theming issue where published illustrations did not apply themes.

Fixed an issue where parts would rotate 360 degrees when animating between views.

Fixed a minor issue where the loading spinner in version history was incorrectly scaled.

Fixed a bug where illustrations with multiple copies of the same model could become corrupt and display the Path Mapper upon loading.

Improved edge rendering over part surfaces. Previously, edges could have small gaps along their length.

⁠

3D Models

Fixed an issue where the 3D viewport appeared empty until the camera was moved.

Desktop

Fixed a login/logout issue preventing users from switching accounts in Zea Sync.
