Product release notes

Review the latest Paramora® Prism release, including product changes, fixes and update instructions.

Latest release · 1.4.10

Clear plan-limit guidance before export

When an export is larger than the current plan allows, Paramora now explains the limit and offers the upgrade path instead of starting an export that cannot finish.

  • Models above the Free plan's source size show a plan-limit notice, and the export button becomes Upgrade to export.
  • An export stopped by a plan limit now explains why and links to the upgrade options instead of reporting a failure.
  • Your export settings are kept, and paid plans are unaffected.

Release · 1.4.9

More efficient organization license refresh

Organization licenses refresh with less background traffic while keeping the same live seat and license checks.

  • Automatic organization seat heartbeats reuse protected sign-in sessions and refresh account details hourly.
  • Explicit account refresh continues to retrieve the complete current account state.
  • License revocation, organization membership, seat capacity and export authorization retain their existing checks.
Installation guide

Release · 1.4.8

More accurate Revit IFC exports and reliable native exports

Paramora Prism now classifies Revit and IFC model geometry more accurately, avoids duplicated shared geometry, and improves export reliability and interface readability.

  • Revit and IFC geometry parts use their authoring element category and level, improving IFC classes and storey assignments.
  • Standard exports keep each shared geometry occurrence's own fragments, avoiding duplicated geometry.
  • IFC4 owner history and line geometry now satisfy the corresponding EXPRESS validation rules.
  • Native exports support deep folders and non-ASCII paths and retry temporary file-lock failures. Single-layer OpenUSD supports deep output folders.
  • Dark high contrast, larger interface mode, and narrow window layouts are improved.
  • Corrected translations across all 13 plugin languages.
  • Signed-in readers can retrieve update freshness metadata.
Installation guide

Release · 1.4.7

Correct account sign-in status

This update fixes the account menu showing Not signed in while you are signed in.

  • The account menu and Settings now show Signed in for a signed-in account that has no display name, instead of Not signed in.
  • When you are signed out, the account menu no longer offers Refresh account or Sign out.
Installation guide

Release · 1.4.6

Reliable restart after updates

This update makes Restart Navisworks after an update reopen the same Navisworks version you were using, straight away.

  • Restart Navisworks after an update now reopens the Navisworks version you were using, even when another Navisworks instance starts at the same time.
  • Paramora no longer starts its update service in Navisworks instances run by scripts or automation tools.
Installation guide

Release · 1.4.5

Export, account, and update fixes

This update fixes placement and precision issues in several export formats, keeps you signed in and your update channel choice in effect, and makes export progress and the settings window more reliable.

  • 3D Tiles exports place repeated objects correctly when a local origin is set.
  • ASCII STL exports keep accurate facet normals at every coordinate precision.
  • FBX exports keep the position of objects nested under a skewed placement.
  • Fast Export stops with a clear message when the chosen scope contains nothing to export.
  • Cancelling a sign-out no longer stops automatic account refresh, and your update channel choice now takes effect.
  • Export progress no longer moves backwards, and changing the display language during an export waits until the export finishes.
  • Paramora is now shown with the registered trademark symbol.
Installation guide

Release · 1.4.4

Export and sign-in fixes

This update fixes 3D Tiles placement for some projected coordinate systems, restores sign-in from the desktop window, and makes export options more consistent.

  • 3D Tiles exports now place models correctly for coordinate systems that list northing first, such as SWEREF 99 TM and NZTM.
  • OBJ exports no longer fail when a material has an invalid colour value; the colour is exported at full intensity.
  • Signing in from the Paramora Prism desktop window works again.
  • Export options stay consistent when your licence or output format changes, including model view, checks, coordinate precision, and hidden items.
  • Cancelling an export is handled cleanly if the progress window closes first.
Installation guide

Release · 1.4.3

More reliable Fast Current section export

Fast Export can finish a Current section export when a temporary section-reduced NWD has incomplete fragment indexing.

  • When the temporary section NWD has inconsistent fragment indexing, Fast Export retries from the original saved NWD.
  • The retry retains live visibility filtering, coordinate checks, and the active section clipping.
  • The export screen reports the retry while it runs.
Installation guide

Release · 1.4.2

Smoother Fast Export and startup

Paramora Prism now guides you to save an NWD before Fast Export and avoids brief reconnect prompts while account access refreshes.

  • When Fast Export is on for a model opened from another format, the export screen asks you to save and reopen an NWD before starting.
  • You can turn off Fast Export to export the current model through Standard Export.
  • The opening screen waits for the automatic account refresh before showing a reconnect request; unresolved access is still reported.
Installation guide

Release · 1.4.1

More accurate BIM translations

Paramora Prism now uses clearer BIM, geometry, coordinate, licensing, and export terminology throughout every translated plugin interface.

  • Correct ambiguous technical terms such as properties, origins, section-cut surfaces, coordinate handedness, building columns, foundations, piles, and air terminals.
  • Use precise 3D Tiles, OpenUSD, DXF, geometry, and licensing language while preserving exact format names and identifiers such as MESH, INSERT, Meshopt, and Pset_*Common.
  • Clarify target-application presets, typed properties, local coordinates, HLOD ratios, and leaf-tile limits across labels, review summaries, and accessibility text.
  • Improve right-to-left layout behavior and translated status, review, and error text introduced with the 14-language interface.
Installation guide

Release · 1.4.0

Paramora Prism in 14 languages

The Navisworks plugin now matches the website's language choices, automatically starts in your system language when supported, and remembers any language you select in Settings.

  • Use English, German, Japanese, French, Korean, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Simplified Chinese, Arabic, Polish, Turkish, or Swedish throughout the plugin.
  • Choose a supported first-use language automatically from Navisworks and Windows without showing a setup prompt.
  • Change the display language from Settings / General and keep that choice for later plugin sessions.
  • Lay out the interface right to left in Arabic while preserving the existing Paramora Prism design.
Installation guide

Release · 1.3.4

Quieter title bar and automatic update checks

Module and update progress now show as a small ring with a percentage beside the Paramora name, the plugin checks for updates when it opens, and tier-locked formats are easier to tell apart.

  • Show module preparation and update progress as a ring with a percentage next to the Paramora name; hover for details.
  • Show an update glyph when a new version is available; it becomes the progress ring once you start the install.
  • Check for updates automatically each time the plugin opens, after your modules have loaded.
  • Fade export formats that your tier does not include and align the upgrade prompt with the plugin's other dialogs.
Installation guide

Release · 1.3.3

Fast Export no longer stalls after decoding

Fast Export IFC exports that appeared stuck at "Saved model decoded" now finish the live selection matching in seconds and keep the export window responsive.

  • Match saved fragments to the live selection without retaining Navisworks tree wrappers, so large models no longer slow down as the matching progresses.
  • Keep the export window painting and show live matching progress during the ownership census.
Installation guide

Release · 1.3.2

Reliable sign-out and clearer progress

Keep your plugin session ready when reopening it, sign out with one action, and follow component downloads and Fast Export more clearly.

  • Reuse prepared components when reopening the plugin in the same Navisworks session.
  • Sign out with one action and prevent background account refresh from restoring the session.
  • Retry export-access verification when the engine takes longer to start.
  • Show measured component download percentages and clear verification stages.
  • Reduce repeated live owner lookups during Fast Export and show selection-matching progress after saved-model decoding.
Installation guide

Release · 1.3.1

Smoother progress and consistent workspace pages

Follow export progress more easily and move between workspace tabs with steadier layouts.

  • Keep workspace content and navigation aligned when switching tabs and export formats.
  • Use calmer page transitions and more compact review rows.
  • Show export progress with one smooth ring and a synchronized percentage.
  • Keep running exports visibly active between progress updates and respect reduced-motion preferences.
Installation guide

Release · 1.3.0

Faster account switching and Microsoft sign-in

Sign in with Microsoft and switch accounts with faster module checks.

  • Choose Microsoft directly from the plugin sign-in screen.
  • Switch between accounts on the same computer while modules adjust to each account’s access.
  • Reuse verified module metadata to reduce repeated downloads during sign-in and sign-out.
  • Show a specific access message when a Free account belongs to another computer.
Installation guide

Release · 1.2.5

Accurate version display after updates

Settings now shows the installed product version consistently after a plugin update.

  • About and Updates show the installed product version even when an update reuses unchanged components.
  • Copied diagnostics report the same product version as Settings.
  • Completed updates and rollbacks refresh the displayed version while restart notices remain visible when required.
Installation guide

Release · 1.2.4

More reliable exports for complex models

This update improves Fast Export and resolves geometry and section export problems across several formats.

  • Fast Export now accepts complete models with transformed geometry that previously stopped during source reading.
  • Geometry placement is preserved more reliably in Fast, FBX and OpenUSD exports, including selected or hidden-parent scopes.
  • Large STL exports can use more available memory while retaining geometry checks and cancellation.
  • Sectioned 3D Tiles and 3TZ exports now handle tiles removed entirely by clipping.
  • OpenUSD exports now support geometry-bearing parents with retained child elements more reliably.
Installation guide

Release · 1.2.3

Clearer installation and app information

Prism is easier to identify in Windows, with convenient access to product terms and privacy information.

  • The Windows installed-apps list now shows a consistent Prism name and icon.
  • Product terms and privacy information are accessible from the installer and Settings, under About.
