# May 2026

A summary of everything new in laiout this month. New zone types, expanded 3D camera options, AI Render Select & Edit, furniture placement on outdoor spaces, and a new way to show or hide elements in the editor.

## New features

{% hint style="success" %}
**Event Space Zones - Plan dedicated event spaces**

Event Space is now a native zone type with its own properties and constraints, ideal for planning auditoriums, town halls, and large gathering areas.

[See Zone Editing Overview](/editing-your-layout/zone-editing-overview.md)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Pod Area Zones - Add calling pods and booths**

Calling pods are now a proper zone type, separate from meeting rooms, with their own icon and colour. Reflects how modern offices actually use small private spaces.

[See Zone Editing Overview](/editing-your-layout/zone-editing-overview.md)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Orthographic and Axonometric Views - New 3D camera angles**

New camera options in the 3D viewer for orthographic and axonometric projections, useful for technical presentations and architectural reviews.

[See 3D View & Walkthroughs](/visualising-your-space/3d-view-walkthroughs.md)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**2-Point Perspective - New architectural camera view**

Added 2-point perspective as a new camera setting in the 3D viewer for more architectural-style visualisations.

[See 3D View & Walkthroughs](/visualising-your-space/3d-view-walkthroughs.md)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Select & Edit - Refine any part of a render**

Tweak a selected area of an AI Render to refine specific parts of the image without regenerating the entire render. Faster iteration on the details that matter.

[See AI Renders](/visualising-your-space/ai-renders-overview.md)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Furniture on Balconies and Terraces - Place furniture outdoors**

Place furniture on external balcony and terrace zones, previously only supported indoors. Opens up planning for outdoor workspaces and breakout areas.

[See Placing & Editing Furniture](/editing-your-layout/placing-editing-furniture.md)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Show or Hide Elements - Control what appears in the editor**

Control exactly which elements are visible in the frontend, helping you focus on what matters for the task at hand.
{% endhint %}

## Improvements

{% hint style="info" %}
**Glass Partition Walls - Show partitions as glass**

Glass partition walls now render more realistically in the app and in Revit exports, improving the visual quality of presentations.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Revit 2025 Export - Export to the latest Revit version**

Added support for upgrading Revit files from 2024 to 2025 within the export pipeline.

[See Revit Export](/sharing-and-exporting/revit-export.md)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Refreshed Zone Icons - Clearer icons across zones**

Zone kind icons have been refreshed throughout the interface for clearer recognition, including a new colour for Pod Area.
{% endhint %}
