Easier jump-offs, PDF arena templates and fixes - Release 1904

Easier jump-offs, PDF arena templates and fixes - Release 1904

Major features

Importing arena templates from PDF files and images

Training materials and course design exercises are often shared as PDF files. These files usually contain the arena layout that you need to use as a starting point before adding obstacles and building the course.

  • You can now import an arena template directly from a PDF file. Select the page you need, crop it to the relevant part, and add it to parkour.design as an image.
  • Imported images are easier to position correctly. After selecting an image, use Align with arena to match the arena shape on the image with the arena in your design. This helps keep the template, arena borders, and course layout in the same scale and position.

Improvements

Improvements to the terminal obstacles: Start, Finish and Finish/Start

  • The same Start and Finish object can now be used in more than one round, including the primary round and jump-offs. Previously, each round needed its own separate Start and Finish. Now you can connect these objects to another round in the same way as regular obstacles.

  • Finish/Start (F/S) now has movable flags, also used for photocells, just like Start and Finish.

  • Labels for Start, Finish and Finish/Start can now be moved. Select the label and drag it to a clearer position on the arena.

  • You can rename Start, Finish and Finish/Start objects. Select the object and set the custom name in the object panel.

    Renaming a Start object in the object panel

  • The commands for swapping rounds were moved from the Start object panel to the Transformations menu, where they are easier to find together with other course-level actions.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where some links in the Design Library did not open correctly.
  • Fixed an issue where the first example design was missing for newly registered users.
  • Fixed an issue where the object list could become empty when changing the type of the selected object.
