📢 Spaces Flex R43 Release Notes - April 2026

Target Clients: All Spaces Flex Clients.

Business Objectives / Goals:

• Enable users to quickly re-center the viewer on selected products so they can inspect details without manual navigation.
• Provide intuitive, discoverable controls (contextual button, double-click, tooltips) to reduce interaction friction and speed up common workflows.
• Ensure consistent focus behavior across 3D, 2D and elevation views while allowing controlled rollout via a feature flag.

What's Included:

Viewer interactions and discovery

• Add a Focus View action to the contextual toolbar for selected items, placed before multiselect controls.
• Display a tooltip ('Fit the view on selected item') to explain the Focus action.
• Allow triggering Focus View by double‑clicking items and add 'Focus view (on item): Double left click' to the navigation helper.
• Provide a way to exit Focus View (click Focus again or use reset view) and restore the previous view state.

Camera and view behavior

• Compute and apply the optimal camera position and orientation to center selected items in 3D views.
• Adjust 2D/elevation camera position and zoom to center selected items in non‑3D views.
• Apply camera changes immediately with animation disabled for consistent, predictable focusing.
