Product roadmap
Where Render3D is headed
Render3D is evolving from an AI-assisted mesh viewer into a full parametric CAD workflow. Items below are grouped by phase — shipped capabilities first, then what comes next.
Shipped
-
Done
3D viewport
Orbit, pan, zoom, grid, fit-to-view, and Fusion-style scene lighting.
-
Done
Mesh import & export
STL, OBJ, GLB/GLTF, PLY, and OFF upload with timeline history.
-
Done
AI CAD prompting
Natural-language geometry generation and modification via GPT-5.5 Pro + Trimesh.
-
Done
Geometric references
Pick corners, faces, edges, lasso regions, and Line paths; reference them in prompts with
@corner-1or@path-1chips. -
Done
Transform gizmo
Move, rotate, and scale parts with server-side persistence.
-
Done
Keyboard shortcuts
Hotkeys for navigation, picking, wireframe, and the transform gizmo — see table below.
-
Done
Draw mode local geometry
Selected-face holes, circular blind-hole patterns, and Line-tool ducts or wire loops.
-
Done
Electronics and component workflow
Component profiles, drag-to-prompt, drag-to-wiring, driver-aware motor validation, generated code, and actuator simulation.
-
Done
Component-aware fixtures
Referenced parts feed measured dimensions and known mounting patterns into deterministic case/fixture generation.
-
Done
Workspace quality of life
Stop generation, project prompt drafts, color tool, context-menu hide/show, and expanded AI cost analytics.
Keyboard shortcuts
Shortcuts work in the Studio viewport when focus is not in a text field.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| LMB | Orbit camera |
| RMB | Pan camera |
| Scroll | Zoom |
| C | Pick corner mode |
| F | Pick face mode (click again to deselect; multiple faces supported) |
| E | Pick edge mode |
| L | Lasso surface region |
| N | Line / path tool for route references, ducts, and wire loops |
| W | Toggle wireframe |
| G | Attach move gizmo |
| R | Switch gizmo to rotate (when gizmo is active) |
| S | Switch gizmo to scale (when gizmo is active) |
| Esc | Exit pick / gizmo — return to orbit |
