In Library Advanced Settings, `Tag management` you can create, edit, and delete resource-specific tag groups, and set the tag list, whether it is required, the maximum number of selections, and whether it is displayed for each group. Tag groups for products, finishes, and textures are managed independently of each other. Template tags continue to use the existing dedicated management screen. ![Library Advanced Settings > Tag management](https://2613077494-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMWuDtKHjyUXqBIf7Q6Zw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-13ebbd72517f94bbc6cdc53b96ae85670baab808%2F202609_20260917-1.png?alt=media) ![Library Advanced Settings > Tag Management Detail Page](https://2613077494-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMWuDtKHjyUXqBIf7Q6Zw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-6f93a494083d29bf105b5f645995698da59b5cf5%2F202609_20260917-2.png?alt=media) ![Library Advanced Settings > Tag Management > Create Tag Group](https://2613077494-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMWuDtKHjyUXqBIf7Q6Zw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ed7409231c56b59611945015939d6cd13e48b818%2F202609_20260917-3.png?alt=media) ### (Improved) Product/Material Tag Input Method We changed tags for products and materials from free input to selecting from tag groups registered by an administrator instead. This reduces the problem of multiple tags with the same meaning being registered due to typos or wording differences. You can check whether each tag group is required and the maximum number of selections, and select or clear all. If no tag groups are registered, the existing free-input method is used. **Before** ![Furniture/Finishes/Textures Library > Detail Page](https://2613077494-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMWuDtKHjyUXqBIf7Q6Zw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-31640e2504a99ce42cf3ba1d5799e253b216aae2%2F202609_20260917-4.png?alt=media) **After** ![Furniture/Finishes/Textures Library > Detail Page](https://2613077494-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMWuDtKHjyUXqBIf7Q6Zw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-fcd5ee9d2dabd4570ab962e303e66dc525b67bc8%2F202609_20260917-5.png?alt=media) ### (Improved) Library Folder Sorting and Search Subfolders in the furniture library can also be searched and sorted just like products. We added an option to keep the manually arranged folder order even when changing the sorting method. **Before** ![](https://2613077494-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMWuDtKHjyUXqBIf7Q6Zw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ebeb3a635fc8d8a44aa39c3495e8d764e7fcca5a%2F202609_20260917-6.png?alt=media) **After** ![](https://2613077494-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMWuDtKHjyUXqBIf7Q6Zw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-32689b0b225b739a6dfad135df70dbe23eac19eb%2F202609_20260917-7.png?alt=media) ### Bug and issue improvements * When Agent AI edits a drawing, the changes are reflected directly in the Planner screen without refreshing. * We fixed the issue where clicking a shared project card would not enter the editor, or buttons and menus would disappear. * We fixed an issue where the body text in the notice creation screen would stick to the left or lose its margins. We also removed the blue border and resize handles that appeared when clicking content in the detail screen, and organized the body and canvas areas into card layouts. * We fixed an issue where the previous image remained in the list and detail screens even after deleting the project cover image. We cleaned up the duplicate save logic in the image update path. *** ## 2. Editor ### (New) Horizontal and Vertical Flip for Grouped Furniture Furniture grouped together can be flipped left-right or up-down. It supports a right-click menu and `Alt+H` / `Alt+V` Keyboard shortcuts are supported, and the feature appears only when all furniture in the group can be flipped. We also fixed an issue where furniture locked together could be flipped with a keyboard shortcut, and an issue where the flip button was shown for furniture with locked dimensions. ![](https://2613077494-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMWuDtKHjyUXqBIf7Q6Zw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-7299466ea2ac5db5b666145f6b013d5c563f3d80%2F202609_20260917-8.png?alt=media) ### Bug and issue improvements * We aligned the finish material libraries in the Face, Surface, Construction, and Tile editors to the same three-tier structure as the drawing editor and `Favorites`·`Placed items` We added a tab. Before loading the drawing `Finish materials`if selected, the editor would close; we also fixed an issue where wall finishes did not appear in the list when there were no closed rooms. * When manually entering the first-person camera height in Render Studio, 2000~~can be set up to 9999 mm. Slider·`R`The slider, keys, and drag remain the existing 0~~to 2800 mm range remains unchanged. * Rendering auto focus (`autoFocus`) and auto furniture lighting (`autoFurnitureLighting`) have been added as separate toggles to turn each on or off. The default is off, and when the Render Shot editor is turned on, both features are also turned off. *** ## 3. Parametric Editor ### (New) Modular Part Inspection (Inspect) Before saving or manufacturing parametric parts, it checks the final state of variables, formulas, panels, and parts all at once. It checks six types of issues, including value anomalies, variable settings, panel shape, part configuration, dimension consistency, and part overlap. Inspection results are shown in the right side panel, separated into errors and warnings. When you select a problematic item, the corresponding part is highlighted in the 3D view, and its status is also shown in the component list and variable area. Automatic inspection is enabled by default, and when saving it guides you through issues and blocks progress if there are errors before exporting manufacturing data. We also fixed issues where the app would close due to circular variable references, failures in cut thickness calculation, formula-based range calculation errors, and incorrectly identifying irregular panels as rectangles. In the header, `Error present / Warning present / No issues / Inspection required` the status is displayed, and by organizing the inspection execution structure, inspection time for the same part has been reduced by about 63%. ![Modular > Inspection Feature](https://2613077494-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMWuDtKHjyUXqBIf7Q6Zw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-54bd2ac55a3e86093a9bf0b8702c47b36962cd4e%2F202609_20260917-9.png?alt=media) ### (New) Modular Global Variables Values shared across multiple furniture items, such as board thickness, door spacing, overlay, and baseboard position, are collected and managed as global variables. We added 23 global variables to the parametric editor, and you can directly reference variable names in formulas to reuse the same values across multiple parts. Items that affect other values, such as board thickness, are also calculated together with related door overlay values. If an existing part has an internal variable with the same name, the existing part's value is applied first so that its shape or behavior does not change suddenly. If needed, `Use global values`you can switch that part to use global-variable standards, and when the values differ, it first warns that dimensions may change. ![](https://2613077494-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMWuDtKHjyUXqBIf7Q6Zw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-941417a8121861528b7f613ad708dd2286da73bf%2F202609_20260917-10.png?alt=media) ### (New) Parametric Variable Group Management You can group parametric variables into custom groups according to business purpose and product attributes. Public variables and internal variables can each be divided into multiple groups, and for each group you can set the name, description, collapsed state, order, lock, and hidden status. In each group, you can use variable add, duplicate, move, export, and import in the same way, and the variable order is preserved even after saving. Variables from existing content are automatically placed into the default group without migration, preserving existing formulas and reference relationships. ![](https://2613077494-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMWuDtKHjyUXqBIf7Q6Zw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-948a2c7fa564a7de3d585ff37101053015687e9b%2F202609_20260917-11.png?alt=media) ### Bug and issue improvements * `Variable management`·`Part library` We changed the tabs to a vertical layout with the icon on top and the label below to match the header toolbar buttons. In the left sidebar's collapsible section header, we moved the expand indicator to the far right and made the title larger. There are no changes to features or items. * We fixed an issue in module mode where, when 15 or more items were placed, the main thread would freeze for 3-4 seconds when adding or selecting modules. We also fixed repeated GLTF scene duplication that never hit the cache, and an issue where changing only the selection caused 20 unrelated cells to all re-render. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.archisketch.com/guide/intro-en/update-note/2026/202609/20260917.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
