RealityConnect for Plant Simulation - Release Notes

Release date: 8 July 2026

New features

  • Initial support for Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 2606.

  • Stream Environment

    • Stream RealityTwin environments directly into the active Plant Simulation 3D view.

    • Toggle environment visibility from the Sites tab using the Display the site switch.

    • In-memory streaming ensures fast performance without generating local files for the overlay.

    • Progressive view-dependent refinement improves visual quality based on the camera position.

  • Load Assets

    • Browse and manage RealityTwin assets through the Asset manager (the Assets tab).

    • Load and unload selected assets directly into the active model; imported assets become native Plant Simulation objects under .UserObjects, placed at their real-world location in the twin.

    • Reality-capture assets import with their captured photo textures — including very large photogrammetry scans.

    • Set a per-asset import Quality (Low / Medium / High) that controls the level of detail of the imported geometry.

    • The asset catalog remembers which assets are already imported into the open model — they stay marked as Loaded after reconnecting or reopening the model — and unloading an asset removes its object from the model.

    • Filter assets by name and track their lifecycle through colored status pills (Ready, Loading…, Cancelling…, Loaded, Failed), with a live Selected · Loaded · Total counter. Cancel an in-flight load from its status pill.

  • Sites and Authentication

    • Sign in to Prevu3D from the Sites tab and pick an organization when multiple are available.

    • Browse organizations, divisions, and sites from a unified tree view, with collapsible divisions and site counts.

    • Connect and disconnect to a site inline on each site card, with live status (Status: connected, and Not displaying site / Loading display… / Rendering… / Displaying site / Display failed for the streamed overlay).

  • Settings

    • Streaming quality preset (Low / Medium / High) to balance coverage and framerate. Changes apply immediately to the active stream.
