In this post, we\u2019ll explore the latest updates with the new Walkthrough command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What&#039;s new in Designcenter Solid Edge 2026 | Walkthrough\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SY326lCZSww?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Designcenter Solid Edge 2026 now makes it easier than ever to explore your designs in an interactive and engaging way. With the new Walkthrough command, you can move through your models from a first-person perspective. It is just like stepping inside your assembly. Using your keyboard, mouse or even an Xbox\u00ae controller, you can navigate effortlessly through large layouts and complex spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tab-and-slot-feature\"><strong>Bring your designs to life<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"227\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/image-1024x227.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18268\" style=\"width:790px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/image-1024x227.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/image-600x133.png 600w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/image-768x170.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/image-1536x340.png 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/image-900x199.png 900w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/image.png 1690w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Design reviews don\u2019t have to be flat or static. The Walkthrough command allows you to capture flythrough paths that can be reused in the Animation Editor. This means you can quickly create dynamic walkthroughs of your assemblies, helping colleagues, managers or customers see your work in action. Instead of flipping through screenshots, they can experience your design as if they were there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wall-thickness-support-in-add-material-features\"><strong>Solve a common challenge for engineers<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Visualizing large or complex assemblies can be tough. Traditional viewing tools don\u2019t always provide the immersive perspective needed to understand how everything fits together. The Walkthrough command solves this by giving you the ability to \u201cwalk\u201d through your design, making it much easier to identify design issues, evaluate layouts, or showcase a finished product in a way that feels realistic and intuitive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"etch-feature-improvements\"><strong>Competitive advantage, built-in<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While other CAD platforms may require additional tools or plug-ins, Designcenter Solid Edge offers this capability out of the box. That means you get a powerful feature without needing extra software. It\u2019s one more reason Designcenter Solid Edge stands apart as a solution built to make advanced design functionality accessible to every user.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"multi-edge-flange-trim-improvements\"><strong>Engage with immersion<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re presenting to leadership, customers or your own team, the Walkthrough command transforms how you share your designs. Instead of a passive review, your audience takes part in an interactive experience. Walking through layouts, exploring product interiors and seeing your work in a whole new way. It\u2019s an engaging, professional way to tell the story of your design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These and many other new features in Designcenter Solid Edge 2026 were unveiled during our live premiere on October 22.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6BJqzcQ3mqE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Catch the replay on-demand \u2192<\/a>\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u202f&nbsp;<br>For a deeper look at what\u2019s new in Designcenter Solid Edge 2026,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/plm.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/solid-edge\/introducing-solid-edge-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click here.<\/a>\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"join-the-conversation\"><a><\/a><a><\/a><strong>Join the conversation<\/strong>\u202f&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are\u202fa lot of\u202fways to\u202fhear\u202fwhat others are saying about the upcoming release\u202fand\u202fto\u202fconnect with\u202fother\u202fSolid Edge enthusiasts\u202fonline.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few ways to join the conversation right now:\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6BJqzcQ3mqE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Watch the\u202f Designcenter Solid Edge 2026 launch event<\/strong><\/a>, streamed live on October 22.\u202f&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep up with #SolidEdge\u202fon\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/solidedge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Facebook<\/strong><\/a>,\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/SiemensSoftware\/playlists?view=50&amp;sort=dd&amp;shelf_id=8%22%20\\t%20%22_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>YouTube<\/strong><\/a>\u202fand\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/products\/siemenssoftware-solid-edge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>LinkedIn<\/strong><\/a>\u202f&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Join our\u202fonline\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/community.sw.siemens.com\/s\/topic\/0TO4O000000MihiWAC\/solid-edge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Solid Edge Community<\/strong><\/a>\u202fto connect with other Solid Edge users<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Designcenter Solid Edge 2026 now makes it easier than ever to explore your designs in an interactive and engaging way.
