<p dir="auto">Watch the v2.2 release video here:<br />
<a href="https://youtu.be/XqiJCCluSj8" rel="nofollow ugc"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1778276367010-f8dd2dde-ec2b-40cb-8e6e-c9c576fc3501-image.png" alt="f8dd2dde-ec2b-40cb-8e6e-c9c576fc3501-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></a></p>
<p dir="auto">This release adds support for custom GLB models, editable simple cube objects, more smart device control cards, room-level Box View styling, multiple selection, and many bug fixes and performance improvements.</p>
<h2>Custom Models: Upload Your Own <code>.glb</code> Models</h2>
<p dir="auto">You can now import your own <strong><code>.glb</code> 3D models</strong> into Zircon3D.</p>
<p dir="auto">This makes it possible to add custom furniture, equipment, machines, facility assets, or any other 3D model that better represents your real space.</p>
<p dir="auto">This is especially useful when the built-in model library is not enough for your specific project.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1778208555068-4c3ee6b9-db30-4f04-ae48-b7a32e0b0f6a-image.png" alt="4c3ee6b9-db30-4f04-ae48-b7a32e0b0f6a-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<h2>Simple Cube Object</h2>
<p dir="auto">We added a new <strong>Simple Cube Object</strong>.</p>
<p dir="auto">This object is very flexible: you can edit its:</p>
<ul>
<li>Width</li>
<li>Depth</li>
<li>Height</li>
<li>Color or material</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Even though it starts as a simple cube/block, it can be resized into many useful forms, such as a table, platform, partition, box, equipment block, parking area, raised base, or simple placeholder object.</p>
<p dir="auto">It is a small feature, but very practical for quickly building custom scenes.</p>

<h2>More Smart Device Control Cards</h2>
<p dir="auto">Zircon3D v2.2 adds more interactive control cards for Home Assistant entities.</p>
<p dir="auto">The enhanced control cards include:</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Light Card</strong> - Supports brightness percentage and color control.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Cover Card</strong> - For garage doors, windows, shades, blinds, curtains, and other cover entities.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Climate Card</strong> - For air conditioners, heat pumps, thermostats, and similar climate devices.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Lock Card</strong> - For door locks and other lock entities.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Fan Card</strong> - For fan entities, with related controls.</p>
<p dir="auto">These cards make Zircon3D not only a 3D visualization interface, but also a more convenient 3D control layer for your smart home.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1778239289121-a9f61d20-65f2-43d4-b064-b59d6291221e-image.png" alt="a9f61d20-65f2-43d4-b064-b59d6291221e-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Status Bubbles on the Floorplan</strong><br />
Control cards also show clear colored status bubbles directly on the floorplan. This makes important states much easier to notice at a glance, such as when a window is open, a garage door is open, or a door is unlocked.</p>
<p dir="auto">This provides a more intuitive way to understand the real status of your home or building directly from the 3D view.</p>
<h2>Room Box View</h2>
<p dir="auto">We added <strong>Box View</strong> support at the room level.</p>
<p dir="auto">You can now show rooms as colored box-style blocks and assign colors to different rooms. This provides a cleaner and more abstract way to understand room layout, zones, or functional areas.</p>
<p dir="auto">In the next version, we plan to extend this feature so the room Box View can be mapped to monitoring sensor data, allowing rooms to be colored dynamically based on real-time values. For example room occupancy or other sensor data.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1778239851791-796779a0-e5cf-47db-aa00-1df31981f9c6-image.png" alt="796779a0-e5cf-47db-aa00-1df31981f9c6-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<h2>Multiple Selection</h2>
<p dir="auto">You can now select multiple objects or rooms by holding the <strong>Ctrl</strong> key.</p>
<p dir="auto">This allows you to move or delete multiple items at once, making editing much faster and more convenient when working with larger floorplans.</p>
<h2>Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements</h2>
<p dir="auto">This release also includes many bug fixes and performance improvements across the Designer and Viewer.</p>
<p dir="auto">We continue to improve stability, usability, and the overall editing experience as Zircon3D grows into a more powerful 3D visualization platform.</p>
