Pre-Download Item Categories for Faster Workflfows

Expert Mode users can now download complete categories of models and materials from the VORTEK Spaces library in advance. This new feature helps reduce loading interruptions when placing an item for the first time and makes downloaded content available even when you do not have an internet connection.

To download content, activate Expert Mode in the Settings > Advanced tab, then right-click a category in the models or materials library and select Download. VORTEK Spaces will download the available content from that category to your device.

A new option called “Show downloaded content” is also available from the … menu at the top of the models and materials lists. Use this option to show or hide the download status of library content.

Content that has not been downloaded is identified by a blue cloud icon.
Click the blue cloud icon beside a category to start downloading its content.
Downloaded content is identified by a green check mark.

Preparing frequently used categories in advance can make your workflow smoother during customer presentations, live demonstrations or work sessions with limited internet access.

Note: Category downloads are not supported for Wayfair content.

New Side View Camera Option

A new button is now available alongside the existing top-down option. Side view repositions the camera and cuts away objects located in front of it, giving you a clearer view of interior elements that might otherwise be hidden.

This camera option is especially useful when presenting countertops, closets and other interior areas. It allows you to create a clean cutaway view without manually hiding every object located between the camera and the area you want to show.

Similar to the existing top-down view, side view allows you to configure the cut distance. The camera automatically adjusts to the cut surface, helping you frame the visible area of the project more accurately.

Open Doors and Drawers in Mozaik Projects

You can now open doors and drawers in projects imported from Mozaik! This gives you more ways to showcase cabinet interiors, storage configurations and hardware movement during project presentations.

The feature works like the existing door and drawer opening tools. Select the opening tool from the left-side menu, select a compatible handle, then drag the mouse to begin opening or closing the associated door or drawer.

Door and drawer opening video animations are also compatible with Mozaik projects, allowing you to include these movements in recorded project presentations.

Quality-of-Life Improvements

Cancel Ultra Quality Picture Generation

You can now cancel an Ultra Quality picture while it is being generated. This gives you more control when an export was started accidentally or when you need to tweak the camera, lighting or presentation settings before generating the final image.

Improved Video Presentation Previews

The video presentation page no longer displays the complete design when an object entrance animation has been added. This prevents the final arrangement from being revealed before the animation begins, helping you preserve the intended effect of your video presentation.

Clearer Loading Information

The name of the item currently being added is now displayed while it loads. This makes it easier to identify which Model or material VORTEK Spaces is processing, especially when using larger library items or working with a slower connection.

Pro-tip: You can cancel the loading of an item by pressing the Escape (ESC) key !

New Project Performance Warnings

New warnings can now appear in the performance menu located in the lower-right corner of the application. These warnings help you identify project elements that could negatively affect application performance or rendering quality.

A performance warning appears when a project contains an imported model that is excessively large.
A rendering warning appears when a project contains too many lights. The warning threshold changes according to the selected quality level.

These indicators can help you identify potential issues before exporting medias or presenting a project, allowing you to simplify heavy models or reduce the number of lights when necessary.

Other Fixes & Improvements

The “Remove small cabinets drillings” option is now disabled by default.
Fixed several rendering issues affecting Ultra Quality mode.
Fixed an issue that could duplicate certain models imported from Cabinet Vision or prevent them from being deleted.
Fixed drawer opening in certain Cabinet Vision projects.
Fixed an issue that prevented viewpoints from being saved from the Gallery tab.
Fixed an issue that prevented the profile icon from updating after a network connection was lost.
Fixed an issue that prevented certain .dxf projects containing very large models from opening.
Virtual Reality Mode : fixed an issue that prevented the top bar from disappearing in full-screen mode.
Other fixes: Additional improvements have been made to .skp and Mozaik imports, application performance, the user interface and other areas of VORTEK Spaces.
