KetchUp 0.4.0 — More views and precise measurements

2026-10-28

Views and navigation

• Work with multiple viewport tabs and resizable split views, each with its own camera and a shared model, selection, and undo history.
• Use the interactive compass to switch camera views, with viewport layouts and camera preferences remembered across restarts.
• The grid stays anchored to the model while orbiting, and viewports use a cleaner borderless appearance.
• Docking a viewport keeps the correct pane active so camera navigation affects the intended view.

Measurements and drawing

• Choose length, area, volume, and angle units with independent decimal precision in the new Units sidebar section. These preferences persist across restarts, and lengths entered without a unit use the selected length unit.
• Enable Snap to grid to align drawing and placement with the grid spacing at the current zoom; the setting is remembered across restarts.
• Line drawing stops automatically when a closed shape creates a face, and completed shapes clear their drawing guides.
• Shape previews stay on their starting face during local-axis snapping and remain stable when following tilted reference points.
• Solids with inset recesses now report their volume correctly and remain usable by solid tools.

Workshop plans

• Cut lists use consistent part ordering and preserve width and cutting direction for short parts aligned with other parts in the same group.
• Cut lists and cutting layouts show clearer metric dimensions in millimeters or centimeters.
