    Thanks, Tara. Can you give a little more information about this item:

     

    • Model sequences can be applied at design time

    It's not clear to me what that means, or when I would want to use it (or not). Thanks.

    As best i can tell there is now a checkbox under "Sequence" for Model widget items that says "Apply sequence at design time" If you check this the component visibility defined in the sequence is applied in the design 3D view, but not any animation steps in the sequence.

     

    All my sequences start with the parts in the same position so i'm not sure if you had Step 0 defined with parts in a different position maybe the parts in design would go to that location when you picked that sequence?

      Yes, I was actually wondering if this feature might solve the problem I described in https://community.ptc.com/t5/Studio/Position-of-modelItem-is-wonky/m-p/565101

       

      As for modelItem grouping, yes, it would be very helpful to have a BOM-like tree control to choose from. However, I've been able to get pretty far by hacking the "Component Occurrence" property. It's a hierarchical path to the part in the assembly, so to get ancestor sub-assembly for a specific part, just start deleting path components from the end of the path, and it will select higher "groups" or assemblies. For example, if your modelItem selects a part with Component Occurrence "/5/1/2", you can select the direct parent by removing the "/2" from the end, resulting in "/5/1". For a deeply nested, part, you can keep working your way up the tree until you get to the level you want.

       

      You can also take a more direct route: in Creo Illustrate, select the subassembly you want to create a modelItem for, and open its Part Properties and check the Attributes panel. There should be an entry called "sBOM ID Path", which gives the string you need to reference this subassembly in within the assembly. You should be able to paste that into the modelItem Component Occurrence field and have it pick the right subassembly.

      @tmccombie Is the grouping of ModelItems under the parent Model new? This pretty big news on the large experience organization front!

      @jmikesell yes, this is a new improvement to the 3D container.

      @tmccombie it seems that with the new 3D container you can no longer drag modelItems in the tree to reorder them. Not drag them out of the 3D container but just reorder in the container. This is a loss of functionality that should be fixed.

      It seems like after this update my Windows laptop does will not show me the camera anymore. I just get a black background. 

       

      I have tried resetting the app and uninstalling it but the problem persists. Any idea how to fix this? Or if there will be an update shortly to fix this issue?

      Is anyone else experiencing an issue with Windows devices not showing the camera? We are having an issue as we are needing to demonstrate Vuforia from a Windows device.

      I just tried an experience on a Surface Pro 3 with View 83.3.478.0 and it worked without problems.
