πŸ“£ Announcement

This release brings in a massive improvement in developer experience. Following our months of work on converting the Smplrspace codebase to Typescript, we are now publishing the @smplrspace/smplr-loader package to NPM. This package allows you to load a fully-typed version of smplr.js into your codebase, which supports type checking and auto-completion of the smplr.js API. Learn more in the docs and try it out in an interactive code playground with our hello world example.

πŸŽ‰ Other new features

  • You can now query the API from smplr.js through an end-to-end type-safe SDK. For now we've only added the ability to get a space but more will come in the future (please tell us about your specific needs). Check the QueryClient docs to learn more.

πŸ’… Improvements

  • We've made really large performance improvements to the editor. You can feel it especially clearly on very large spaces, over 300,000 sqft. Our team has been editing a 4M sqft building with no lag at all after the update, how's that for performance πŸ’ͺ.

  • We've reworked the handling of floor plan images in the editor, which improved resize performance when you zoom in/out, cut down on app size, and improved browser compatibility.

  • Flipping the space now flips the floor plan image and the furniture as well.

  • Rescaling the floor plan now rescales anything that has already been sketched, including walls and furniture. No more rework when you realize you got the wrong scale πŸ€“.

  • The mapper now exports our internal ids to allow for easier iterative mapping.

  • Asset maps from the mapper are now preserved if you duplicate a space or transfer a space to an organization.

πŸ› Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue with duplicated IDs that happened in multi-storey buildings we stacked manually from individual floor plates.

  • You can now duplicate a whole level from the "Advanced tools" section in the "Services" tab.

πŸŽ‰ New features

  • Custom furniture models are here! You can now send us 3D models that will be added to a private part of the furniture catalog, specifically for your organization. We will add an interface to manage these yourself in the future, but we can help you set it up in the meantime. Get in touch if that's of interest.

  • We added an API option to show the floor plan image on the viewer, see renderOptions.floorplan in the docs.

  • The mapper now provides an option to view the floor plan image, control it's opacity and height – just like in the editor, but with a sleek dropdown panel.

πŸ’… Improvements

  • The desk clusters and seminar seatings are now perfectly straight, no matter where the 3 points are dropped. This should also fix an issue where desks could be inverted. 2 🐦, 1 πŸͺ¨!

πŸ› Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the parametric furniture options were not updating instantly in the options panel.

  • Fixed an issue where the link to accept an invite to join an organization would fail in Microsoft Office.

  • Fixed an issue with the auto-selection of the next asset in the Mapper.

  • Fixed an issue where the badge showing unread release notes would not clear when opening the release notes.

πŸŽ‰ New features

The assets mapper now saves its data to our database for ease of use and collaboration on mapping assets to the floor plans. This will open up a number of upcoming features, stay tuned ;).

πŸ’… Improvements

  • We're upgrading our infrastructure and are now serving our application from Cloudflare's network. This should result in faster loading of the app, as well as better resilience to large traffic and/or attacks.

  • The furniture 3D models are now loading from globally distributed buckets for blazing fast loading times. This should also fix an issue where furniture models sometimes failed to load as we're on a more reliable storage provider than we used to be.

  • The public link toggle in the editor now directly saves the new value to the database. Goodbye changes that weren't saved.

  • The help button on the bottom right of the screen is now on steroids. It still contains a link to live chat support, but is now also home to two new features. Our changelog widget gives you a quick view on what's new, directly in the app. Our feedback widget lets you write in with feature requests, bug reports, ideas, etc.

πŸ› Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue with computing the area for very large spaces.

πŸŽ‰ Major release πŸŽ‰

We’re releasing our biggest update since we started on our floor plan platform about a year ago. In short, we’re going v2. It includes both a complete redesign of the app and the introduction of Organizations. With these changes, we're enabling teams to collaborate on spaces – with features that support both account managers and developers.

The new design has been guided by user research and includes:

  • an organization switcher to provide context for content on the page and to allow quick switch between personal spaces and shared organization space,

  • quick access to spaces and a dedicated developers page,

  • statistics to help you keep track of your floor plans usage,

  • a redesigned space card with an image cover for quick identification (and gorgeous placeholders), as well as a new space actions menu that has been designed from scratch to support all your needs.

The new Organizations feature lets users create multiple organizations in which they can invite members to share and collaborate on spaces. Organizations get dedicated settings, members invite workflows, integration options, billing details. Users can belong to multiple organizations with a single account.
