Pencil tool
Features
📄 Boards
Pencil tool → there’s a new button in the boards button bar. The pencil tool allows for freehand sketches - we implemented it in boards as a first step towards implementing it for markups
🏢 Model
Push/pull got a lot of love! Now you can push/pull the top surface of all shapes after extrusion (previously could only push/pull to create the initial extrusion), and the sides of extruded pen sketches can be push/pulled as well (note: you won’t be able to push/pull the sides of extruded rectangles yet)
You can now click and drag walls that are connected to other walls to adjust their position
Click and drag extrusions → definitely try this one out, it feels really nice combined with snaps and alignment!
📄 Sheet Sets
You can now create comments on sheet sets, and the created comments will also appear on the sheet in the Arcol board
Share links to specific pages in sheet sets (to do this just select a page in the sidebar and then share the link)
💬 Comments
Images in comments → you can either drag and drop images onto a comment or click the add image button in the bottom left of a comment to bring up the file browser (note: you can currently only add images when first creating a comment, adding images to threads will come later)
⭐ Other things
