What Mantle Place can do now
Each change a visitor can see or do, newest first, across the web product and the Unreal and Revit plugins.
All updates
· Web
A tidier curator
The curator’s dialogs share one glass look, the tabs and search sit inset and slimmer, and the tour ends when you click outside it.
· Web
Every file states its licence
Every file in a bundle states its frame, licence and sources, data files carry the ODbL notice inside, and each bundle includes a STAC item.
· Web
A faster, easier globe
The globe pans, zooms and sharpens faster, Shift+drag tilts it, the right rail gains a north compass and the public-record overlay is quieter.
· Web
Send feedback
Send feedback from the Feedback page, the curator Help area, error states and the vault, with one optional image.
· Web
A whole-site USD file
Every bundle includes a whole-site USD file with terrain, buildings, roads, water, land use and trees, a vector features file and the Revit vector GeoPackage.
· Unreal
Unreal supports World Partition
Mantle Place for Unreal 0.7.1 supports World Partition levels, scatters trees from the bundle, and imports every public-record layer.
Release notes· Web
Request a missing source
You can request a public-record source where none exists, and checkout lists the licence terms of the sources in your extent.

A refined home page
The home page is refined, with a shared header and control sizes, Work and Contact sections, one card shape and globes that match their copy.
· Web
Lighter, steadier, more accessible pages
Pages load lighter and shift less, work better without a mouse or with reduced motion, and the hero globe steps aside on slow connections and under Save-Data.
· Web
Plain facts on the site
The home page and FAQ state the delivery promise, priced examples and what a charge covers, and the data, about, status and licensing pages state the shipped facts.

Release notes· Web
Smarter search

· Unreal
Unreal skips mismatched layers by name
Mantle Place for Unreal 0.6.0 skips a layer in a mismatched datum with a named message instead of placing it wrongly, and its import summary names the coordinate system.

Better US terrain

A clearer home page
The home page gets sentence headings and repaired contrast, the favicon uses the real logo and Compare gains a page.

The Site Brief
Every bundle carries a Site Brief PDF with the site’s place name, facts and cross-sections, and you can read a brief before you order.

A 3D globe and a hand-drawn site box
The curator’s globe is 3D only, you size the site box by hand with corner handles from 0.5 km², and it remembers your last view.
· Web
The Stylized map in your bundle
The Stylized map joins the bundle as a drape and a GeoTIFF, and follows the look you pick in the curator.
· Web
Plugin sign-in
The browser sign-in page for plugins is branded and returns you to the app, and desktop sessions survive a restart.

Reorder, extend and name an order
From a fulfilled order you can reorder the site with today’s data, order the neighbouring area and give the order a name.
· Unreal
Unreal reads trees in any column order
Mantle Place for Unreal 0.5.0 reads tree points whatever order their columns come in, and carries the new Mantle Place mark.
Release notes· Web
Sites build faster
Sites build faster, and the curator shows the measured time band as its only time estimate.

Mantle Place for Unreal 0.4.0 replaces a site when you import it again instead of stacking a second landscape, and keeps you signed in across restarts.

The home page shows real captures of ordering and importing, and every area is stated in both km² and mi².

Emails for every step
Sign-in emails now carry Mantle Place’s look, order emails cover each step of an order and the bundle-ready email links to the right page.

Cleaner terrain
Terrain no longer grows a spurious spike where the elevation source has gaps, and a bundle states the source and resolution of its elevation.

Unreal imports face the right way
Mantle Place for Unreal 0.2.0 places imports with north the right way round, reads the first stable bundle format and no longer stalls vault downloads.
