Tired of not knowing why your model isn’t a solid? We’ve made some updates to include display controls that allow you to turn on X-ray mode to see through your component, as well as show hidden geometry. So translation confusion eliminated - phew!

Not only does it help uncover the tool that you’re searching for, but it also displays other relevant tools that may be of use in your classroom. You can now use the Search tool in your native tongue (12 languages total!). How can it get even better, you ask?
