Default quick filter for the issue list in 3D viewer
Can now create personalized quick filters to have issue attributes filled in automatically in the 3D viewer. Default quick filters can be used project-wide, saving significant time selecting the issue attributes individually.
To learn more about how to use the quick filter in the 3D viewer, please check out our tutorial.
Isolated elements in 3D viewer
Selecting objects before creating an issue has always been possible in Revit and Navisworks. Selected objects and / or clashing objects relating to that issue can now be shown live in the web viewer, instead of showing the whole area.

Restore view state in 3D viewer
The “Restore view state" option was added, giving you the ability to recover the context of the issue that was used to publish it, including both the elements visibility and section box / plane. When you publish an issue, the view state is automatically saved. So when another user wants to recover the original context of the issue, it can be done within a few clicks.
