I’m working on very large parking lots in the US, and I often have to place vehicles manually. One feature that would greatly improve my workflow is a button to select all vehicles and randomize their colors automatically.

I hope you’ll consider this feedback for a future update.

Sincerely,
A PRO user of your software.

Again, where is the upgrade for the USA user? I’m still working on 3.01. Can someone respond?

Will there be any updates to the SketchUp version?

Hello D5 Team,
I have upgraded to 3.1 today.
But … where is D5 Lite for Rhino?
Many Thanks!
Andrea

Hi, 3.1 is currently being rolled out gradually and has not been officially released yet. It is not available to all users at this stage. Please stay tuned for the official release. Thanks for your patience!

Hi Andrea,

The Launcher update is also being rolled out gradually. D5 Lite for Rhino is included in the Launcher rollout, so it will become available once your Launcher has been updated to version 1.2.

If you receive the Launcher update notification and update to version 1.2, you will find D5 Lite for Rhino and D5 Lite for Revit under Workflow → Lite.

Thanks for your patience!

I think it’s amazing that D5 is always updating and improving its tools. Congratulations

A post was split to a new topic: When I click play presentation it’s just a black screen

Muy buenas actualizaciones, siempre atendiendo las sugerencias de la comunidad, la actualizacion para presentaciones muy bueno

It would be great if the D5 launcher offered the option to update to version 3.1 while keeping the previous version (3.0.1) available, just in case the new version compromises an ongoing project. I feel uneasy about updating and running into issues with current projects, yet I end up missing out on using the tools—something free software already offers.

A post was split to a new topic: File Performance & AI Feature Glitch

I already upgraded D5 from the old version to the newest version — that was right when D5 3.0.1 had just launched on 10/7/2026 — and after I updated it, there were a lot of problems like severe glitching, especially when doing AI post-production. There was an issue where I couldn’t click generate because the button would disappear whenever I moved the mouse toward the ‘Generate’ button. So on 14/7/2026 I downgraded back to version 2.9 and everything went back to normal. Now I see D5 has properly launched the new 3.1 — is it actually okay and safe for me to upgrade now, or is there still a problem when upgrading to 3.1? Because I don’t want a situation where, after I upgrade and save my scene in the new version, I can’t downgrade back anymore since the old version 2.9 doesn’t support it, have u already solve it?

For me too, AI post-production keeps flickering. It’s very annoying and unusable.
I’ve already set everything up in the Nvidia app to see if I have the problem, but it’s not.

The new Variations presentation feature looks very useful, especially for comparing facade and design options.

It would be even more valuable if variations could also be rendered automatically. Ideally, we could select one or several camera views, apply the same render preset, and add every variation to the render queue without manually duplicating scenes.

At the moment, adding a new variation creates extra work because it becomes visible in previously configured scenes. I then have to open each scene again and hide it manually where necessary. After that, separate scenes still need to be created for every design option, even when the camera position and render settings are identical.

A better workflow would be to save an independent render state for each variation and generate all combinations automatically: for example, 6 design variants from 5 camera views, resulting in 30 renders added directly to the queue.

This would be especially useful for overnight rendering and real architectural projects where all options need to remain organized and available for later rendering.

It could be added to the Presentation tool or implemented as a similar Variations workflow for Scenes. The ability to duplicate entire scene groups would also be very helpful.

HI
I place cars on the parkings with custom path, it’s fast and we can slightly randomize placement and rotation. But yes, changing color is not available

The d5 car mass placement is not working atm how i wish the car placement would work. I wish to rotate one car independent of each other.

Custom Path does not allow you to place cars randomly. For example, if you have 10 parking spaces and you only want to place 4 cars randomly among those 10 spaces, Custom Path cannot do that. It also does not allow you to adjust the colors of the individual cars.

The best option is to let you explode the custum path. So can adjust all cars/items. Or even delete one specifically

I Still don’t understand why… you can randomly adjust size rotation and placement
