Save 3D Analysis Views

What's in this post?
You can now save and reuse 3D views that include environmental analysis overlays, like daylight or direct sun hours, right inside Snaptrude.

Why We Built This
Design performance isn't just about aesthetics, it's about how spaces work. Until now, showing daylight or sun-hour analysis often meant bouncing between tools or screenshots. That slowed things down, especially when discussing trade-offs in reviews.
Now, you can save and reuse 3D views that include environmental analysis settings- like daylight or direct sun hours.
What’s New
- Save Analysis ViewsLock in any 3D view with Daylight Illuminance or Direct Sunhour analysis. Snaptrude stores:
- Your camera position
- Lighting and analysis settings
- The exact overlay you configured
- Bring into Present ModeDrag saved analysis views straight into your presentation board:
- Views appear as raster images
- Legends come separately, so you can move or resize them as needed
- Views and legends are grouped for easy placement, but can be ungrouped with a right-click
- Raster Plan Views (with BIM/Furniture)
- Any plan view with furniture or BIM elements is now auto-imported as a raster when dropped into Present Mode.
This feature is a big step toward keeping design and performance in one shared conversation. It means you can now show and tell your performance data directly within Snaptrude during design reviews.
