Version 4.7.1 released

  1. Dedicated Crash Report Window: In version 4.7.1 (and later), we’ve introduced a new dedicated Brighter3D crash report window. This makes it easier to capture and submit detailed reports directly when an issue occurs, helping us diagnose and resolve problems faster.
  2. Improved Stability: With ongoing optimizations, Brighter3D is now significantly more stable. In my own testing over the past month, crashes have become rare—occurring in roughly 1 out of 20 launches (if at all)—and the trend continues to improve. Many reported issues appear to stem from SketchUp itself rather than Brighter3D.
  3. Full Compatibility with SketchUp 2026.1: Brighter3D is fully compatible with the latest SketchUp update (2026.1, released in December 2025), which brings its own stability improvements and new features like integrated AI tools. This ensures a smooth experience without compatibility conflicts.
