The first large update to Asset Forge is now available! Version 1.2.0 adds new features, new content and fixes a bunch of issues. It also introduces multiple block selection and adds new control methods.

Breaking change: models (.model) saved prior to 1.2.0 are not compatible. This is due a change in block display which in the future will make features like duplication, undo etc. possible.
