New major release of Orkestra Online!

So much work went into this one. This release was built in parallel to the Orkestra Web App. Our main focuses were :

  • Bringing the Rhino Grasshopper integration up to level with Revit-Civil/Dynamo
  • Future proofing the platform and its integrations
  • Improving the code base
  • Fix the known bugs
    Many other cool thing have been implemented in what we believe is our biggest leap forward ever! This is paving the way for many many amazing things !!

PS : sorry for the super long release notes , but hey... A lot has happened! 😅
