Views

A view is a window onto a canvas of a model. In other words, using views helps create a duplicate representation of your work. Views are the best way to create as many references to an existing drawing as you would like, to then be used for instance in page layouts or as a drawing underlay.

More on views in our documentation page dedicated to views.

Multi-canvases

Rayon models can from now on contain multiple canvases. Canvases come in two different types: model canvases, and paper canvases.

More on views in our documentation page dedicated to canvases.

New renderer

With Rayon V2, we have invested in our software’s ability to power very large projects. Consequently, V2 offers a brand-new rendering engine, built from scratch, offering much higher display performance. This new engine combines some of the following technical features: multi-threading, high quality antialiasing, sophisticated memory allocation, single draw call.

Here is a quick demo of our new renderer.

Block in leader

Leaders now support blocks heads; this allows our users to add blocks of their choice at the end of leaders, to display information within a container.
