Eyeshot 2026 Beta

We are excited to announce the Beta release of Eyeshot 2026! This release introduces significant updates, new features, and improvements designed to enhance your development experience and streamline your workflows.

Key Highlights

• Selective Clipping through Entity.Clippable property (Video)
• OpenGL 3.3 
  Better support of modern GPUs
• Surface.Project(Curve) method (Image)
  Curve to surface projection along a direction
• Brep and Solid ExtrudeRemoveThrough() methods
• ReadE57 class (Image)
• WorkUnit class refactoring to use the Task-based Asynchronous Pattern with new async APIs. (Article)
  The WorkUnit infrastructure has been refactored to use the Task-based Asynchronous Pattern (TAP), removing the dependency on BackgroundWorker. Long-running operations can now be executed as Tasks and awaited, with built-in support for cancellation tokens and progress reporting. This makes it easier to keep the UI responsive, compose multiple operations, and write automated tests around Eyeshot workflows.
• Geometry import API update (Article)
  The legacy AddTo() method has been replaced by explicit OpenTo(), InsertTo(), and AppendTo() methods, with both synchronous and asynchronous variants. This refactoring includes geometry auto-scaling according to units.
• Assembly Mates on Brep edges, vertices, and wire curves (Video)
• FEM shell elements (Video)
  FEM shell elements are specialized 2D finite elements designed to analyze thin-to-moderately thick structures (e.g., plates, shells, fuselage) where one dimension is significantly smaller than the others.
• WriteIFC class (Article)
• Finer control of dimension text positioning 
  AutoCAD DIMJUST and DIMTAD properties
• Region.RevolveAsBrep(), RevolveAdd(), RevolveRemove() methods now accept Interval amount parameter
• Improved Mesh.ConvertToBrep() for planar faces
• ReadDXF class now based on ACadSharp
• Improved tessellation of toroidal (big aspect ratio) and spherical surfaces
• Toolpath entity with 5-axis support (Video)
• Improved ProjectConverter tool with semantic support
• Visual Studio 2026 support
• .NET 10 support

Code Samples

• Hexagonal fill in SlicerDemo (Video)
• Insert text button in the SketcherDemo (Video)
• VolumeRendering (Video)
