--- title: "Veras 5, update 3" canonical: "https://documentation.chaos.com/space/Veras/1369341955/Veras%205%2C%20update%203" format: markdown --- *Official release* **Date** - October 12, 2026 ## **New Features** --- ### **NODES** - New NODES tab for building workflows by wiring nodes together - Generate and edit images and video, analyze media, build parametric 3D geometry, and bake results into Revit, Rhino, or SketchUp - Node categories: Inputs, Values, Generators, Analysis, Combiners, Geometry, Outputs, and Utilities - Generator nodes use the same engines as the IMAGE, VIDEO, and MODEL tabs - LLM node answers questions about text, images, or video with GPT-6 Astra or Claude Opus 5.5 - Detect Objects node outputs an annotated image, a crop of each object, and labels - Post Process node applies the Edit mode sliders locally and for free - GIF node converts video or images into an animated GIF, and Video Combine joins clips into one video - RUN GRAPH shows the cost before running, runs up to four cloud jobs at once, and reuses results from unchanged nodes - Fast, free nodes update live - Stop a single node or the whole run, and re-run a single node - Undo and redo, multi-select, collapse, disable, reroute, Watch, and Note nodes ### **Nodes agent** - The AGENT tab builds workflows from a description, wires and configures nodes, and places key settings in CONTROLS - The agent can run the graph and review results, and asks before runs that cost 25 credits or more - Select nodes to attach them to your message - Each agent edit is one undo step, and sessions are saved with the workflow ### **CONTROLS and OUTPUT** - CONTROLS gathers key settings in one place; pin, rename, group, and reorder controls - OUTPUT shows the result full size as images, video, or orbitable 3D views in Shaded, Arctic Clay, or Wireframe - Workflows with controls work like simple apps, and Open in Nodes on a rendering opens its workflow on OUTPUT - Any setting can accept a wire, and dragging from a setting's socket creates a pre-wired value node ### **Live 3D geometry** - Geometry nodes build 3D models locally, update live, and are free - Parametric Building node with dimensions that can be controlled with sliders - Box, Extrude, Boolean, Array, and Transform nodes - 3D Preview and Capture View nodes for live massing studies - Save 3D Model saves geometry to your Gallery as a GLB ### **Bake from NODES** - Bake to Revit places a family at the internal origin - Bake to Rhino and Bake to SketchUp place full geometry or a lightweight proxy at the origin - Re-running a bake replaces the previous bake ### **Workflow library** - Workflows autosave to the cloud - Library with Recent and My Workflows in grid or list view - Version history, rename, duplicate, delete, share, and import - Uploaded images are saved with the workflow ### **Workspace strip** - In NODES, the strip shows all workflow outputs in one row - Drag a thumbnail onto the canvas to use it as an input - Fold away the strip on any tab ## **Modified Features** --- - Improved session stability so brief sign-in service issues no longer end sessions - Changed NODES to reconnect sessions automatically before starting a node - Changed the MODEL tab agent to wait out sign-in outages instead of stopping - Added support for saving very large images to the Gallery, with a message that explains why a save failed ## **Fixes** --- - "Bake chunk out of order" errors in SketchUp after reopening the Veras window (requires the Veras SketchUp plug-in 5.3) ## **Known Limitations** --- - NODES is in beta. - Each bake node is available only in its own host application.
