Release Notes

Discover the newest additions to Hopara

2.0

This release enhances one of the Hopara core capabilities: handling floor plans.

Image crop

Floor plans often come with notes and technical information around them. Now you can use Hopara to remove these from your visualization.

Image opacity

You can now fine-tune the image opacity to improve the legibility of other layers on top of images (e.g. assets on floor plans).

Line thickness optimization

Now Hopara optimizes the line thickness to better display images at different zoom levels.

Dynamic resolution

The image resolution is now dynamically loaded based on the zoom level and the device type (mobile or desktop). This allows the user to see the floor plan at a high resolution when zoomed in while saving memory and bandwidth when zoomed out.

Local cache

We implemented a local caching mechanism to quickly load frequently viewed images and icons.

Position pointing to another layer

Now it's possible to point to another layer when setting the position configuration. This is useful, for example, for creating an overview of facilities (i.e. icons pointing to floor plan locations) or text in polygons (e.g. room names centered at a polygon).

Map as layer

The background map is now modeled as a layer. This consolidates the look and feel configuration under the layers tab and allows setting different map styles for different zoom levels.

UX Improvements

The navigation between modes (view, place objects and visualization studio) now works as tabs and has new icons.

The details panel now floats on the canvas instead of pushing it.
