Design
| Solar Panel Placement Improvements |
Placing panels in Design Mode is now faster and more user friendly. The updated controls allow for seamless switching between filling and manually placing panels, the ability to fill faces more quickly, and a new inspector. Also, all solar panel settings are now applied consistently, whether it's Design Mode/Sales Mode or AutoDesigner/Manually place. A new Solar Panel section reflects these changes and AutoDesigner specific settings are located at the bottom of the screen. |
| Cancel Placing Panels in Sales Mode |
Users are now able to cancel placing panels in Sales Mode, providing more control and improved usability when designing for proposals. While Aurora is placing panels, the option to cancel the request appears at the bottom of the screen. Canceling results in no changes being made to the design. |
