## New

## Issue Hotspots

* Issue hotspots allow you to visually see where the created issues reside on the 3D asset.
* By clicking a hotspot, you change the current view to the selected issue.
* Hovering over a hotspot displays the respective issue on the issue's panel.

## Section Planes

* `Section Planes` allow you to temporarily cut through a 3D asset along a designated axis, enabling easy viewing of the interior of assets.
* Users can now add section planes to the X, Y, and Z axes.
* Active `Section Planes` are saved within an "Issue" when created.
* Users can reset all "Section Planes" in the current view.

## Camera Modes

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apryse.com/web/changelogs/webviewer-bim/wvbim-changelog-2023.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
