A lot of new things come along with this version of 3D juump Ace!
The most important evolution is certainly the possibility to load and display annotations saved in CAD files (first version only for Catia files).
But it also comes with many new functionalities and improvements, described below:
- Substantial redesign of the GUI Addition of a homepage at startup
- Moved the toolbox to a panel on the right
- Redesign of the view bar Added a filter “by type” of the product structure
- Added information on measures
- Added a flat rendering mode
- Additionally, this update also includes other minor bug fixes and improvements.
This version prepares the introduction of new functionalities coming with the future versions of 3d Juump Ace.
These features will no longer be compatible with the software rendering mode.
We have therefore disabled this rendering mode.
This new version brings notable improvements to the stability and the performance of the application thanks to a rewrite of part of its foundations.
It harmonizes the trial versions offered on the realfusio.com website and the Microsoft Store: a full trial version available for 14 days, for free, without commitment and without filling in bank details.
It also comes with many new functionalities and improvements, described below:
Ergonomics:
- Better handling of the visible, hidden and ghost spaces.
- Redesign of the search tool: the visibility state is now taken into account, the 3D view is synchronized with the search results, and you can now select all or some of the results. There is also a quick access to some useful functionalities.
- Added a filter to the product structure view to quickly find its elements Added a new CAD-oriented camera controller.
- Added a keyboard shortcut ‘W’ to make it easier to switch between the visible, hidden spaces.
- Added a « fit to selection » function (space key) to fit the zoom to the selected objects.
3D formats and metadata:
- New export formats : SAT.
- New import format : Rhino3D.
- Improved the Collada file format export.
Miscellaneous:
Installation of updates: when the user accepts to install the 3D Juump Ace updates automatically, the install file is now saved in the Windows default directory. This way, it’s possible to run the installer manually if a problem occurred during the first execution.
This update also includes other minor bug fixes and improvements.
Various bug fixes.
Modification of the automatic updates system
Stability improvement (crash fixes).
Various bug fixes.
DXF format is not supported as a valid input format.
Former version incorrectly listed DXF as a supported input format.
Bug fixes and improvements.
With this version 2.4, 3D Juump Ace offers a new look.
With its new navigation interface, 3D Juump Ace aims to be:
- even easier to use by anyone, whether CAD expert or not,
- closer to its users, by guiding them step by step through its various functions,
- and finally event more fun to use thanks to its revisited and colorful interface.
Also, in this new update, we kept developing helper tools, notably new functionalities for « Align » tool. We also updated our file import libraries to take into account the evolutions of the various formats supported by the software.
What is new in the version:

The « Align » helper is more powerful. It’s now possible to align an object with any kind of feature (circle, line, point…)
- New « World orientation » mode
Introduced a new mode of world orientation named “Features” that allows the orientation along a selected feature of the object
- SearchSearch extended to all the metadata of the scene
The matching field is now displayed as a tooltip
License Manager
- License manager improvement for easier understanding and use
All settings are centralized in the same place
Overhaul of user interface messages
- Added instructional messages
- Added information messages
- Added contextual messages
- Added messages to prompt contribution to the enhancement of the software
And Also, this update brings bug fixes and improvements.
It notably:
- resolves a bug which could prevent metadata enrichment (« optio » panel of « metadata enrichment »)
- resolves a bug where the « hide/show edition » panel would malfunction
- resolves a bug concerning fbx files loading (fbx loader)
- fixes the display of the measurements in the Product Structure
- fixes a rendering engine bug
- fixes a bug concerning the switch to Compatibility Mode when the graphic card was insufficient
- fixes a bug which could prevent handling of the orientation cube
This new version of 3D Juump Ace 2.3 offers a serie of optimization of the editing tools to make it even easier to use. The software is more intuitive and now proposes a « helper » dedicated to technical documentation writers using the « Moving parts » tool. New formats are also supported to satisfy input requirements of third-party platforms dedicated to augmented reality and/or virtual reality.
The improvements and the new features have been created to further enhance the leitmotiv of 3D Juump Ace « the multi-format and multifunctional viewer accessible to all ».
