What's new in the system — updates and improvements.

#101 Basis import: projects transfer more accurately 04.08.2026

A series of roughly twenty improvements to the import of furniture projects from the Basis CAD system. The result: the project in the platform is now noticeably closer to the original.

What is now transferred correctly

  • Grooves — including arc-shaped ones; repeated grooves are no longer duplicated.
  • Rabbets — previously they could be interpreted as a groove in the edge.
  • Cuts and beveled edges.
  • Drilling — through and blind holes with the correct depth.
  • Milling — without losing a millimeter at the contour step.
  • Overall size and contour are reconciled: if the contour is larger than the overall size, the part is stretched to the contour instead of “collapsing” the other way.
  • Countertops with a false edge and parts with zero dimensions are handled correctly.

Readable part names

The part’s designation from the project is added to its name — in the parts list and on labels it is easy to match a part with the original drawing.

Result

A project from Basis loads into an order with almost no manual rework: what was designed is exactly what goes into production.

#89 Public 3D link to a part — no account login required 04.08.2026

The part card now has a “Share 3D” button. It generates a link and a QR code that let the recipient open the part in 3D right in a phone browser — no login or password required.

How it works

  • The page is mobile-friendly and opens full-screen — convenient to view right on the shop floor or on site.
  • The link is long-lived: you can print it on the part label or send it to an installer in a messenger — it will not expire during production and installation.
  • The link shows only the geometry of the part itself: dimensions, operations, edges. The page reveals no prices, no customer data and none of the rest of the order — it is safe to share.

Who benefits

  • Installers and assemblers — scan the QR code from the label and see the part in 3D with all its machining.
  • Managers — approve a part with the customer via a single link, without sending screenshots back and forth.
  • Production — a quick visual check: is the right part lying on the table.
#100 Part size check before the cutting job starts 03.08.2026

Before a calculation starts, every part is now checked to make sure it fits within the full sheet dimensions of its material — taking a possible rotation into account.

How it works

If a part physically does not fit on any sheet, the cutting task is not started at all: the client immediately receives a clear message about which part fails and why. Previously, such an order went into a long calculation that ended with a cryptic error.

The check runs twice — when the task is created and immediately before the calculation.

Result

Instant, clear feedback instead of waiting and mysterious failures. The client corrects the part size or picks another material — and continues working right away.

#88 Clear help for edge banding settings 03.08.2026

Edge banding settings are among the least obvious ones. Key parameters now have built-in help with drawings, examples and an overall map of what affects what.

How it works

  • A blue “?” icon has appeared next to the edge banding parameters. Clicking it expands a help card below the parameter.
  • The card contains a clear explanation following the “what it is / how it works” pattern, an illustrative drawing (part, thickness, band width, allowance) and a calculation example.
  • Below the help, an overall parameter map is shown: all edge banding parameters are grouped by meaning and color-coded —
    • Geometry — minimum sizes of the part and its sides;
    • Price — parameters affecting the cost of edge banding;
    • Restriction — limitations (for example, on the edge band thickness and the band width allowance).
  • The parameter whose help you opened is highlighted on the map — you immediately see its place in the overall logic.

What it gives you

  • Edge banding settings become clear: you see both the specific explanation and how the parameter relates to the others.
  • Fewer configuration errors and fewer support requests.
#99 Insert a part at exact coordinates 02.08.2026

The cutting plan editor now has an “X,Y” button — precise positioning of a part on the sheet.

How it works

  • Select a part from the stack and a sheet.
  • Enter the coordinates of the top-left corner in millimetres.
  • If needed, rotate by 90°.

Input is validated on the fly: the system will not let you go outside the working area of the sheet or overlap an already placed part.

When you need it

When a part must be placed in an exact spot — for example, over a specific grain area or a sheet defect — rather than being “snapped” to the nearest position.

#98 Cutting preview for a single material 01.08.2026

You can now run a rough cutting calculation for just one selected material — without starting the full order cutting and without saving the result.

How it works

  • The header of each material in the parts list has a “Layout preview” button. Clicking it opens a new tab with ready cutting layouts for that material only.
  • The preview is fully isolated: nothing is saved and nothing replaces the project; it does not interfere with the main cutting of the same order.
  • The calculation is always performed from scratch — the result is up to date at the moment of the request.
  • If the material is linked to others (joining, composition), the system will show the list of linked materials in advance and ask for confirmation.
  • When the tab is closed, the task is automatically removed from the calculation, and clicking an unavailable button makes the system explain the reason.

When it is useful

To quickly estimate sheet consumption and cost for a specific material: compare board options, assess whether replacing a material makes sense — before starting the full order cutting.

#97 Merge offcuts: one large usable remnant instead of a handful of scraps 31.07.2026

The “Merge offcuts” button rearranges the free zones of the sheet so that instead of several small scraps you get one large usable offcut.

Smart logic

  • A merge option is offered only if it is strictly better than the current layout: fewer offcut zones, fewer cuts, a smaller total cut length.
  • Merging never exceeds the saw-turn limit of your machine.
  • Deleting a part is careful by default: existing cuts are preserved, and adjacent empty strips are merged automatically.

Reliability

The merge result is guaranteed to make it into saving and export to production — previously, in some cases, the export could leave with the “pre-merge” geometry.

Bonus: smart click on an offcut

Clicking a narrow strip where no part fits no longer opens an empty list — the system redirects you to the nearest offcut where the part will actually fit, and if several zones overlap, it picks the most capacious one.

The result

More full-fledged usable offcuts in stock and fewer useless scraps in the waste.

#87 Automatic recognition of round parts on import 26.07.2026

When a project is imported from a CAD program, a round part (for example, a round tabletop or a seat) arrives as a set of arcs. Previously, such a part was processed as an ordinary shaped cutout — with extra operations and a contour that was not always correct.

What changed

The system now automatically recognizes the case where the circle is inscribed in the entire blank and marks the part as a “circle”. This provides:

  • a correct circular trimming contour;
  • correct allowances along the part edge;
  • no redundant duplicate machining operations.

At the same time, a circular part is reliably distinguished from a round cutout of smaller diameter inside a part — recognition is triggered only where it is truly a round part.

Result

Round parts from external projects enter the order immediately in the correct form — without manual correction and without the risk of the machine receiving an incorrect machining program.

#86 Bulk editing of holes, grooves and cutouts 25.07.2026

Projects with dozens of similar operations now have a bulk editing tool: a step-by-step wizard selects operations by conditions and changes them all in a single action. It works with three operation types — holes, grooves, and cutouts.

How the wizard works

You choose the operation type → material and parts → planes → selection conditions → action → preview. At each step a counter of selected operations is visible, and condition values are picked from lists of values actually present in the project — nothing has to be typed blindly.

Holes

  • Selection: plane (one or several), diameter (exact value or range), depth, type — through or blind.
  • Actions: replace the diameter, depth, or plane; make through or blind; delete.

Grooves

  • Selection: plane, width, depth, offset, type.
  • Actions: change the width, depth, type, or offset; add an offset from the start or end with automatic closing of the groove; delete.

Cutouts

  • Selection: type, depth, width, length, radius, plane, presence of edge banding and end machining.
  • Actions: change the geometry with recalculation (circle / rounded / rectangle); set and remove edge banding and end machining.

Error protection

Every action is checked for feasibility on the production equipment: operations that would change nothing are excluded from the selection, and an impossible transition is blocked with an explanation of the reason. The interface is translated into 11 languages.

Result

What previously required editing each operation by hand is now done in a few clicks — with a guarantee that the result is feasible on the production machines.

#85 Simplified template form without cutter diameter selection 24.07.2026

Manufacturers can now hide the “cutter diameter” field in machining template forms.

Why it matters

Choosing the tool diameter is a technical parameter that often confuses the customer and, more importantly, lets them pick a tool the manufacturer simply does not have. With the setting enabled:

  • the customer sees fewer technical parameters and places the order faster;
  • the diameter is filled in automatically from the manufacturer's settings;
  • it is impossible to order machining for a non-existent tool.

Result

Fewer erroneous orders and fewer customer questions when ordering template-based milling. The setting is enabled on the manufacturer's side — by default everything works as before.
