<p dir="auto">We're excited to share that D5 3.1 is now available.</p>
<p dir="auto">For SketchUp users, this release is less about one big feature and more about improving the overall workflow.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you're already using D5 Lite, you can continue visualizing your project while modeling in SketchUp, then move into D5 Render when it's time for higher-quality renders, animation, VR, or client presentations.<br />

<p dir="auto">If you've already updated to 3.1, we'd love to hear what you think. Is there a feature you've been waiting for, or something you'd still like to see improved?</p>
