Replace models and AI-enhanced thumbnails
Replacing models
You can now replace any 3D model in-place while preserving its full setup, making iteration faster and letting you swap placeholder models without redoing work.
For example, if you've made a Jig with 10 steps and several models, and you need to swap a 3D model out for an updated one.
The replace model feature will apply the same position, rotation, and scale properties to the replacement model so you don't need to format and transform the model again.
To replace a 3D model:
Select a 3D model you want to replace (whole model, not a sub-object)
Click + button and Replace 3D object
Select a new file from your library or local drive
The new model will inherit the old models position, rotation, scale, as the model it replaces.
AI-enhanced thumbnails
Generate photorealistic thumbnails for your Jigs based on your content as well as your Jig name and description.
You can now have different materials or textures on objects from one step to another. For example switch exterior parts of a machine from metal to X-ray to show its inner parts, or display different images and videos on each step in the same UI.
This capability should give you much more creative flexibility without needing to duplicate meshes and bloating your Jigs size.
Custom textures on sub-objects
You can now add and edit custom textures at the mesh level, in addition to a whole 3D model. This works better with upstream 3D design tools like Blender, 3DS Max, and Maya and supports importing packed textures with 3D models. It should make it much easier to edit small textures on smaller sections of your models instead of having to edit the whole model's texture.
Combined with changing textures per step means you can show more details like product screens changing based on operations, power gauge readings, or video footage as just a few examples.

Importing embedded textures from 3D models
Embedded textures in FBX, USDZ, and GLB/GLTF files are now automatically applied to your 3D models when you load them into JigSpace. This means you can design and edit textures in your preferred 3D design tools and import them fully into JigSpace at the same time as your import your 3D models. Textured 3D models from photogrammetry tools like Polycam or 3D model marketplaces like Sketchfab, or generative AI tools like Meshy.ai will now import fully with their textures.
Importing materials
We also import PBR materials settings with supported models, including STEP and SolidWorks, to save you time re-adjusting transparency, metallic, roughness, or occlusion settings in JigSpace.
Automatic updates
MacOS and Windows desktop apps now update automatically, so you don't need to manually download the Jig app from our website each time we update the app. If you have any problems with the new Windows installer file, read our guide to installing the desktop app.
Automatic updates of Apple Vision Pro, iPad, and iPhone apps continue to operate via the AppStore as normal.
Performance improvements
We've made various improvements under the hood to speed up day-to-day performance of the JigSpace apps. The desktop apps are now over 200mb smaller in download size, and should be noticeably quicker in actions like creating, deleting, and loading Jigs.
Analytics reporting on your Jigs is now accessed exclusively via the web-based admin dashboard
Finally we've also decommissioned some old features that had reached their end of life:
Object capture on supported iPhone and iPad apps
Lidar scanning on supported iPhone and iPad apps
iOS multiplayer presentations. We're doubling down on immersive multiplayer experiences with Apple Vision Pro.
Create audio narration from your text instructions
AI text-to-audio
You can now instantly generate natural voice-over audio from text in your Jig’s instructions. Add audio step-by-step, or generate it for your entire presentation in one click. The audio stays embedded in your Jig, so it plays back seamlessly on any platform. This makes presentations easier to follow, and removes the need for manual recording.
JigSpace now supports Single Sign-On (SSO) for enterprises using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory), as well as Okta and many other identity providers.
This allows your users the convenience to log in with their official identity provider while giving your IT team greater control and compliance over account access.
Support for viewing Jigs in the app clip viewer that have different materials and textures per step, and custom textures per mesh. You will be able to make Jigs or edit existing ones to have these features soon in an upcoming release to the JigSpace app for Windows, Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
We've updated the login user experience for all users to use a web browser which works better with password managers and supports enterprise single sign on, and home realm discovery
If you need to use a custom proxy you can configure your settings before logging in
Improvements to invitees joining your team setting their password on first login
Support for new materials and textures capabilities
This release adds support for models in your 3D presentations having different materials and textures per step, and custom textures per mesh.
You will be able to make Jigs or edit existing ones to have these features soon in an upcoming release to the JigSpace app for Windows, Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
New dedicated app to Remote Control your Jigs on Apple Vision Pro
