Release Notes - July 29, 2025

Here's what's new in our latest update:

Collaborate on Projects with Writer Access Sharing

You can now share projects with Writer permissions. This allows multiple users within your organization to collaboratively edit projects in real time.

In-App Notebook: Explain Code

You can now ask the assistant to explain code directly from the hover toolbar within a notebook cell. Just hover and click Explain Code to get an instant breakdown of what’s happening.

Convert Colors to Tags

You can now convert surface colors from your CAD file into Tags. This gives you a visual and flexible way to organize surfaces before importing into Luminary. To use it, right-click on Tags in the geometry tree and select Convert Colors to Tags.

In Case You Missed It: Luminary's MCP Server

The new Luminary Cloud MCP Server lets your AI agents in VSCode and Cursor connect directly to the Luminary platform. This enables them to write Luminary SDK code within your IDE.

Multi-Kernel History
You can now switch between continuous and discrete kernels without breaking model history. This unlocks a more fluid and intuitive workflow across geometry types.

• Automatic Conversion: Shrinkwrap and discrete-part imports now auto-convert geometry on the fly.
• No Manual Conversion Needed: The old Convert to Discrete button is now obsolete.
• History-Safe: Rolling back operations automatically restores the original continuous state, maintaining full history integrity.

This enhancement eliminates friction when transitioning between modeling and meshing workflows, while preserving traceability and flexibility.

Enhancements

• emoved redundant warnings and checks related to rotation angles and translation displacements
• Free trial users can now access and use the Luminary SDK.
• Mesh generation by the AI Assistant now requires user confirmation, helping prevent unexpected actions.

Fixed Issues

• Subtracting without deleting tool bodies no longer deletes their tags.
• Updated the minimum quantity requirement in geometry patterns to enforce positive values and correctly handle body deletion based on the pattern’s direction and quantity.
• Added validation to require at least one surface when using Selected Surfaces mode for both meshing and modeling.
