We needed to pick at this edge condition a bit more, but a solution has (potentially) come to life 🎉 We are suspecting that the desktop version of Arkio you have might have been installed through the Meta Quest desktop app, which is not updating—the investigation continues! --- ## Version 1.9 is Live! **Sep 30, 2024** 🚀 Arkio 1.9 is out in the wild! Not only does this update bring full support for stylus, but it also introduces a range of UI improvements. Let us know what you think 🙂 [What's New in Arkio 1.9 ?!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-Fff8I5Lr4&t=2s) Get the full release notes [here](https://support.arkio.is/hc/en-us/articles/16081013186972-Release-notes-v1-9-0)! --- ## Modeling w/ style using the MX Ink **Sep 27, 2024** Another Friday pro-tip coming in for the crew! Here we are taking a look how the new stylus feature works and how it brings the familiarity of pen and paper into Arkio. 🖊️ --- ## Move and Rotate like a Pro! **Sep 20, 2024** Protip incoming! 🙌 This time we went back to the basics of how to move and rotate an object 🌪️ --- ## Importing .BIMX .FBX file? to use with Oculus 2 **Sep 17, 2024** Hello and welcome to the community [@Ripe](https://community.arkio.is/u/ripe)! Don’t forget to [say hello](http://community.arkio.is/t/say-hello/22?)!👋 Jeez, that’s a tough file to jump into as a non architect. ‘.bimx’ and ‘.fbx’ are not supported in Arkio, but it’s somewhat close. If you can convert those to ‘.obj’ or ‘.gltf’ you will be good to go! --- ## Locking position with anchors in mixed reality **Aug 23, 2024** A lil quiet in here lately 🛏️ but let’s change that with another Friday [pro-tip](https://community.arkio.is/tag/pro-tip). To kick off the weekend we wanted to shed some light on spatial anchors and how to utilize them with the lock position command. --- ## Privacy of 3d models **Aug 8, 2024** That’s a yes, fully encrypted from end to end! 🔒 The only way anyone (including us) can access a cloud group is by sharing an invite code or the url. --- ## Webpage navigation **Aug 8, 2024** That does it explain it better! Having these three sites relate to each other is important, I’ll keep this in mind as we are updating these resources. 🙂 --- ## Digital Preservation in Volterra 🏟️ **Aug 6, 2024** Hey there arkitects! 🟥 We got a new blog post to share with you, this time [@dace](https://community.arkio.is/u/dace) tells the tale of his time in Volterra during the digital preservation workshop... --- ## Arkio to Enscape! **Jul 24, 2024** We got a fresh new How to____ with Arkio video for ya’ll!
