0.9.0 Documentation
  • Updated PreFormServer to match PreForm 3.48.0 release

    • API endpoints have been updated to target specific scene IDs.
    • API endpoints to modify scenes without a scene ID are still available but are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
  • Added custom_bounds parameter to /scene/{scene_id}/scan-to-model/ endpoint to keep selected models inside in the layout operation.
  • Added /scene/pack-and-cage/ endpoint to automatically arrange models in the build volume and create a cage around them.
