Forge: Patch Notes.

Welcome to this new version of Forge!

Based on your feedback, we're working hard to enrich your experience with functional improvements, new modeling tools, and several bug fixes.

Discover below the new features, by version, the key evolutions, and the optimizations made with each update.

V4.2.0.6

Validation tab: Addition of an Excel export that indicates the weight for each model in a map / a level (number of vertices)
Copying and pasting it from the clipboard could freeze the application in some cases
Copying and pasting asks whether or not you want to keep the references when there are any ("Forge.CopyWithReferences: true/false" in the userinfo to not have the popup)

Added a 1st person view mode (F11 in Forge.Expert mode, keyboard arrows to move)

Changing the version of unity
Copying from clipboard
- Fixed some cases where the style of the original and destination Forge are different
- Having templates with identical names no longer causes an error and displays a message instead
- Adding keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+Alt+C and Ctrl+Alt+V
The model exporter includes more information (material names and colors)
You can copy the fields of the color and vector3 type inspector by right-clicking

Adding a level to a map without a level made a mistake
Copying and pasting it via the clipboard did not deselect the objects that were already selected
The background slider in the bottom bar affects the BG set as favorite (star in yellow), or the highest in the display stack if none is set as favorite (star in black), the slider can be changed with Ctrl(+Shift)+wheel when the mouse is in 3D

The undo/redo was not blocked while dragging a vertex of a polygon
Starting dragging a vertex of a polygon with mouse and keyboard actions at the same frame caused an error that blocked the save
The YesNoPopup displayed a button of a template at the bottom left of the screen when used
The real version is displayed at the top left of the window, clicking on it displays the patchnote, middle click displays it in the browser

The functions to select identical models/materials are again accessible from the right-click menu (and added the functions for identical areas)

Changing the scale of structures no longer changes the height unless it is the only axis being edited
The wizard for creating a style class has the text field to register the selected name when the window opens
Changing the color of an override by one color on a style class with a lot of overrides no longer freezes for a few seconds
The options to select identical models/materials have been moved to the selection inspector
Added an option to select identical areas (same style and layer) in the Selection Inspector

The names of the templates are selectable in the inspector and the field size increases if the inspector is maximized

Creating a level assigns it a floornumber equal to the previous max +1
In the style editing tab, right-clicking on the base classes did not copy from another style

Changing the color in the popup for creating a style class generated an error
The move/rotate/scale gizmo could be visible from above even if no object was selected
The shortcut Ctrl+F in the edit tab of the navigation graph to connect 2 waypoints no longer worked
The commit button gets gray when an action is in progress and flashes red if you try to make a backup at that time (which could create freezes of the application)

Redesign of the Duplicate Tool (Maj+D to enable it), now works in 3 steps:

Choice of axis (Ctrl for snap every 45°)
Choosing the Duplication Area (Maj for precise movement, Ctrl to remove spaces between duplications)
Choosing the number of duplications (The position of the mouse changes the number)

The basemap menu no longer takes up all the height
