What’s New in the January 2025 Update

Version: 2.4.8

Release Date: January, 2025

Release Notes

Updates:

  • Reduced Z-fighting: Autodesk Workshop XR now helps to resolve z-fighting (flickering) caused by overlapping geometry.
  • Improved Initial Model Position: Models now load in a more logically centered position in the Workshop.
  • Model Rendering Logic: Workshop XR now loads and displays models better for improved performance.
  • Improved Object Selection when Inspecting Properties: Enhanced object selection when inspecting properties, with updated "Object Selected" shading for consistent appearance regardless of the object's base color.
  • Added Flying Comfort Tunnel: Users can now optionally toggle a comfort tunnel in settings. It will be active when flying up or down.
  • Improved Color Accuracy for Large Models: Workshop XR now supports per-vertex color on meshes with high levels of detail (LODs).
  • Files Panel Navigation: Selecting "Files" in a VR session now returns the user to the last navigated location within the file structure, instead of resetting.

What’s Fixed:

Workshop:

  • Fixed an issue that caused users to not always face the table when landing in the Workshop.

Console:

  • Disabled locomotion from the controller that is interacting with the console.
  • Fixed a bug that caused model visibility to be stuck in a state of eternal syncing.
  • Added height clipping in the Workshop so that tall models don't intersect with room geometry.
  • Files panel now navigates users to the last file directory.

Model Loading:

  • Updated the "Object Selected" shading so that it appears consistently, no matter the object's base color.
  • Added support for per-vertex color on meshes for high LODs.
  • Improved initial positioning of models.

General:

  • Added a comfort tunnel for flying up/down.
  • Added a check for smooth flying up/down.
  • Added a support link to the web app.
  • Fixed an issue where the UI would flash.

Known Issues and Workarounds:

  • Some tiles, when recreated, appear invisible until they switch LOD level.
  • Workshops created prior to February 2024 may not allow the visibility of elements to be disabled and reenabled for single users and networked users.
  • Exiting and reentering a Workshop may cause a user’s audio to sound quieter. To fix this, users should force close the app and relaunch.
