  • Unintended Scrolling in Find Object List: Selecting an element no longer misaligns the cursor.

Known Issues

  • If you’ve copied an object, pressing Ctrl+V on an input port will paste the object into the scene and, if a value was also copied, insert it into the input port.

  • Using Ctrl+V to paste in any port panel menu unintentionally opens the Comments for Pins menu.

  • Copying and pasting the AB asset or any asset with it as a child is not possible.

  • The “Add to Simulation” button remains disabled if objects are copied and pasted while the Wire menu is open; use “Add to Simulation” from the right-click context menu.

  • Deleting multiple graph tabs while utilizing the Repeating Date and Time Controller Actor may require restarting the sandbox.

  • Camera Tilt Zoom Inversion: Tilting the camera down to its maximum and pressing zoom may invert controls. Workaround: Press “Fly to Home” to restore normal functionality.

  • Sun Direction Degree Value: The degree input value for the sun direction does not accurately reflect the true sun direction.
