Realistic joints

We've had joints since day one, but up until now if you selected lumber that was screwed to another bit of lumber it would behave no different. It wouldn't select, it wouldn't drag - well it was a drag that it didn't behave realistically as it would in real life. Screw something to something else it should behave like its joined. In 3.0 that's exactly how things now work

Selection within structures

We added structures way back, and users love using them as they are quick and simple to use. If you want to make changes however it wasn't ideal as we didn't support multi select. Now in 3.0 if you dbl click/tap on any structure (or board joined via realistic joints) you can pick on an individual board level - both in the original structure or any other structure in your project.

Featured community projects

We are seeing thousands of amazing projects being created in MakeByMe, and lots of those end up being made. We wanted to highligth some of our favourite project plans to make it easier for users to either build themselves or get inspiration on ways to add to their own automatically created plans.

New Intro screens

Our intro screens for new users was a tad out of date, so we've refreshed them with nice new graphics highlighting the main features of MakeByMe. It also optimised so whether you are on a phone or a laptop you'll see something relevant to your device.
