Better 3D asset management
image
Sort objects into categories to make it easier to find what you’re looking for, and share content across teams.
You can also save a model from the Jig apps back into a library category, edit its meta data, and enrich for future JigSpark AI features.
Object list is now on iPad
image
Easier to see everything in your Jig, select, hide, parent, rename.
Edit your Jig presentation’s scene root
image
If you need to scale, rotate, or reposition your entire Jig - you can now edit the overall Jig scene root instead of selecting all objects individually and transforming.
This is ideal for Jigs with many models in them, or content with a large real world scale like construction, rail, or aviation that need to transform many metres from one step to another.

Improvements to replacing objects and connecting directly to your team object library from Blender.
Other editor improvements‍
  • There is now more room to enter text in labels in the editor and we fixed a bug with scrolling through text.
  • Steps edit mode now automatically closes when selecting 3D objects, reducing unnecessary clicks.
  • Viewpoint button in the step tile no longer deselects your current object.
  • Spin tool now prevents enabling spin when speed or all axes are set to 0.
  • A range of bugs and general fixes were updated relating to performance, snapping, and materials.
Some small improvements to the JigSpace Vision Pro app:
  • Transparency improvements when navigating through a Jig steps and using the object list
  • Interactive actions are now less bright, which created some visual issues on objects that users can click to trigger an action like URL or go to step.
  • Update notifications: Now the app will tell users when a new update is available, and ensure you get the latest features as soon as possible.
Camera viewpoints
Each step of your Jig can now have a camera viewpoint that the camera moves to in your Jig when viewing Jigs in non-AR mode.
Right click menu
Desktop users can now right click to duplicate or delete steps in the timeline, replicate properties, or manage Jigs in My Jigs.
More right click commands will continue to be added with upcoming releases to ensure our power users have better access to tools when in-context.

Better hidden objects
Control the visibility of parts of your models on each step using the updated toolbar or object list.
image
To prevent accidental data loss, deleting is now restricted to removing an entire object from all steps in your Jig . This should help users from deleting parts of objects on a specific step, and then later wanting to undo or restore these parts, which is not possible. Now, you can hide an object easily, and "unhide" it on any step. We think this refresh is clearer and more intuitive.
Rename objects
When we import objects from your CAD files, their names are often messy, inaccurate, or meaningless. Now you can double click on any object in the object list, and rename it, making them easier to find, reference, and display.
image
We've made improvements to our Vision Pro app, and AVP Remote Control app for iPhone and iPad, to make guiding viewers of your Jigs entirely hands free, and improve managing multiple AVP devices in training rooms or trade shows.
  • Remote app can tap to place a Jig on AVP anywhere (default tracking)
  • Remote app can now pause/play auto-play Jigs
  • Reconnect to known AVP devices, and pair to new devices with clearer interface
  • Improved onboarding for first time users
Both apps require updating via AppStore links below to use these features:

Replacing models
image
You can now replace any 3D model in-place while preserving its full setup, making iteration faster and letting you swap placeholder models without redoing work.
For example, if you've made a Jig with 10 steps and several models, and you need to swap a 3D model out for an updated one.The replace model feature will apply the same position, rotation, and scale properties to the replacement model so you don't need to format and transform the model again.
AI-enhanced thumbnails
Generate photorealistic thumbnails for your Jigs based on your content as well as your Jig name and description.
We have a huge update to materials and textures in JigSpace.
image
Materials and textures per step
You can now have different materials or textures on objects from one step to another. For example switch exterior parts of a machine from metal to X-ray to show its inner parts, or display different images and videos on each step in the same UI.
This capability should give you much more creative flexibility without needing to duplicate meshes and bloating your Jigs size.
Custom textures on sub-objects
You can now add and edit custom textures at the mesh level, in addition to a whole 3D model. This works better with upstream 3D design tools like Blender, 3DS Max, and Maya and supports importing packed textures with 3D models. It should make it much easier to edit small textures on smaller sections of your models instead of having to edit the whole model's texture.
Combined with changing textures per step means you can show more details like product screens changing based on operations, power gauge readings, or video footage as just a few examples.
image
Importing embedded textures from 3D models
Embedded textures in FBX, USDZ, and GLB/GLTF files are now automatically applied to your 3D models when you load them into JigSpace. This means you can design and edit textures in your preferred 3D design tools and import them fully into JigSpace at the same time as your import your 3D models. Textured 3D models from photogrammetry tools like Polycam or 3D model marketplaces like Sketchfab, or generative AI tools like Meshy.ai will now import fully with their textures.
Importing materials
We also import PBR materials settings with supported models, including STEP and SolidWorks, to save you time re-adjusting transparency, metallic, roughness, or occlusion settings in JigSpace.
image
Automatic updates
MacOS and Windows desktop apps now update automatically, so you don't need to manually download the Jig app from our website each time we update the app. If you have any problems with the new Windows installer file, read our guide to installing the desktop app.
image
Automatic updates of Apple Vision Pro, iPad, and iPhone apps continue to operate via the AppStore as normal.
Performance improvements
We've made various improvements under the hood to speed up day-to-day performance of the JigSpace apps. The desktop apps are now over 200mb smaller in download size, and should be noticeably quicker in actions like creating, deleting, and loading Jigs.
Analytics reporting on your Jigs is now accessed exclusively via the web-based admin dashboard
Finally we've also decommissioned some old features that had reached their end of life:
  • Object capture on supported iPhone and iPad apps
  • Lidar scanning on supported iPhone and iPad apps
  • iOS multiplayer presentations. We're doubling down on immersive multiplayer experiences with Apple Vision Pro.
Improvements
Support for 3D models in your presentations with materials and textures per step and per mesh in an upcoming Jig format upgrade. You can make Jigs or edit existing ones to have these features soon in an upcoming release to the JigSpace app for Windows, Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
Fixed
Sometimes custom branding appeared inconsistently when loading a Jig.
We now support for visionOS 26 which is out of beta today. Please update your device OS before updating JigSpace to this version for best results.
Local SharePlay based Multiplayer presentations
We now support SharePlay with nearby participants: View Jigs together in person and collaborate without having to use FaceTime or use personas.
The shared presentation experience is now simpler:
  • Start by tapping the
    Share
    button next to the window grab bar at the bottom of the JigSpace app
  • Select nearby participants to share with someone else near you, or FaceTime for a remote call
  • Once your viewers have joined, you can then select a Jig to view together.
Improvements
  • Super smooth hand tracking
  • View your Jigs while being immersed in one of the system environments, including the new Jupiter environment.
Download on iPhone/iPad: Jig AVP Remote at the AppStore‍
