WHAT'S ON THE WAY

Upcoming Features — Update!

The next URef update brings new tools for organizing references, taking notes, sketching ideas and working with 3D models. Here is a look at what is on the way.

ORGANIZE

  • Group objects with G or the right-click menu, then move, scale and rotate them together.
  • Ungroup without changing positions or sizes.
  • Press C to frame your selection with a light gray, 50% opacity background and a white title ready to type. Press Enter to confirm; double-click the title to edit.
  • Groups save with your board and stay independent when duplicated.

WRITE

  • Resizable blank sheets with a subtle paper texture. Paste text as a notebook note or a blank sheet.
  • Paper fits the text automatically while preserving line breaks.
  • Numbered lists, bullet points and interactive checklists. Check an item to add a green checkmark and cross out its text; click again to reopen it.
  • Format selected lines or the current line. Empty lines stay clear of list markers. Enter continues a list; Enter on an empty item ends it.
  • A floating toolbar follows your note as you move or zoom. Double-click to edit, with improved copy and paste.

SKETCH

  • Adjustable Pencil stabilization smooths shaky strokes.
  • Build drawings from multiple strokes, then press Enter to finish and return to selection.
  • Drawings on notes, sticky notes and blank sheets become part of the paper.
  • Erase sections of strokes without erasing the paper or its text. Pencil and Eraser are available in the top toolbar.
  • An optional Windows Ink setting is available in Settings.

COMPOSE

  • Press K for the Knife tool. A dashed preview shows the cut; crossing the entire image splits it into separate pieces.
  • Hold Shift to snap the cutting angle in 45° increments.
  • Triangle and star shapes join rectangles and circles.
  • New shapes use your interface accent color and retain that color when you change themes.

EXPLORE IN 3D

  • Lasso masks hide parts of the 3D viewport without turning the model into a static image.
  • A mask preview helps inspect visible and hidden areas.
  • Improved detection of FBX textures.
  • Manually load a Base Color / Albedo texture from the 3D panel.

FEEL AT HOME

  • Creation tools organized into Shapes, Writing and Framing, with easier-to-find tool-specific controls.
  • Numeric values alongside sliders. Ctrl + E opens Export.
  • Confirmation before closing Settings with unsaved changes.
  • Improvements to Windows startup and installation updates.
  • Match PS expanded to follow Photoshop canvas rotation.
