AnansiBuild — Release Notes

Target: launch.

Highlights

• Initial public release on the Autodesk App Store.
• Native Revit ribbon integration under the new "RohoSuite" tab.
• Live 3D preview window with category toggles, scale picker, and printer selection — no more chained dialogs.
• Horizontal cut planes with per-piece naming in the .3mf output, plus an explode slider in the preview.
• First-run welcome dialog with optional donate link.

Added

• Native Revit ribbon under "RohoSuite" tab with AnansiBuild panel
• 3D PreviewWindow — orbit, pan, zoom, category toggles, scale picker, printer picker
• 19 imperial architectural scales (3/16" = 1'-0" through 1" = 400'-0") plus custom 1:N input
• Horizontal cut planes (Level cuts and Manual elevation cuts)
• Per-piece live preview with explode slider (0–100 mm)
• Per-piece naming in 3MF output (Ground Floor, Floor 2, Floor 3, etc.)
• Category-driven color export with automatic AMS slot mapping (24 architectural categories)
• Family-level right-click reassignment — move a family between categories without touching the Revit project
• Custom category creation via the + New button in the category tree
• Bambu Studio metadata (model_settings.config) baked into .3mf
• 26-printer database (Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, Snapmaker)
• Default printer: Bambu Lab H2D Dual Nozzle (300 × 320 × 325 mm)
• True section box clipping via Boolean operations (not just element filtering)
• Thin geometry inflator (1.2 mm minimum, smaller threshold for glass) so glazing and trim survive at small scales
• Settings persistence (printer, scale, save folder, welcome-seen flag) in %APPDATA%\RohoSuite\AnansiBuild\settings.json
• First-run welcome dialog with "☕ Buy me a coffee" alongside Continue
• Persistent ☕ button in the Preview Window viewport (always visible)
• Quiet ☕ link in the Export Summary footer (success-only)
• Keyboard shortcuts: Esc cancel · F zoom-fit · A all categories · N no categories
• Date-prefixed file naming for chronological sorting (yyyyMMddProjectNameScale.3mf)
• Supports Revit 2026 (.NET 8) and Revit 2027 (.NET 10)
• Inno Setup installer plus Autodesk bundle ZIP for direct deployment

Deferred

• Sectional / X-Y vertical cuts were prototyped but pulled before v1.0 due to performance regression and incorrect geometry under the manipulator gizmo. Horizontal cuts are the supported path. For vertical splits, use Bambu Studio's native Cut tool after import. Vertical cuts are roadmapped for v1.x.

Known issues

• Quality presets (Draft / Standard / High Detail) deferred to v1.1
• Optional mesh repair via geometry4Sharp deferred to v1.1
• Linked-model geometry not yet supported
• Non-Roman characters in element names may render as placeholder glyphs in Bambu Studio's parts list. Workaround: rename affected elements before export.
