Changelog

Map reportslink

• The project map's export buttons are now one Export menu: PDF report, Word document and Presentation.
• Map reports can now be exported as a Word document, with the same content as the PDF. Details, the legend and waypoint schedules are editable tables, and a copy is filed in Map reports.
• A new Boundaries & polylines step adds a page for each boundary. Each page has its own map, colour, area, perimeter and scale, and lists the pins inside it. Holes in a boundary are taken off its area.
• Each polyline with waypoints can also get its own page: a map fitted to the line, its length, where the distance count starts, and a waypoint schedule giving each waypoint's sheet number, type and distance along the line. Long schedules run on to further pages.
• Presentations get a slide for each boundary and polyline in the same way.

Project maplink

• Undo and redo are now available on the project map for everyone who can edit it.
• Waypoints: a pin can be made a waypoint of a polyline. Add one from the line, drop a pin onto the selected line, or use Make a waypoint of… on a pin nearby. Selecting a line lists its waypoints in order of distance along it. The waypoint card shows the distance, which you can edit to move the pin along the line. Dragging a waypoint more than 20 m off its line asks before detaching it.
• You can choose a colour for each polyline. Lines without a chosen colour keep the colour they have now.
• For survey video on a polyline, you can set where the camera's counter starts if it was not zeroed at the start of the line. A new Settings item on the line holds this together with the start end.
• Survey video now has a playback speed control, and videos being processed appear in Tasks & Uploads until they are ready.
• While drawing a polyline, the banner shows the length so far. While drawing a boundary, its corners show as dots, and clicking the first corner finishes it.
• Point edits to a line or boundary now save in order, with a "Saving…" note, so a slow connection can no longer leave an older shape in place.
• Zoomed right in, pins a few metres apart no longer group into a cluster.
• The polyline strip's menu now has everything the sidebar menu has, including Rename and Delete.
• Undoing the delete of a polyline or boundary puts it back with its original colour.

Boardslink

• Polyline survey video can be played on boards. A camera marker follows the line in 2D and 3D as the video plays.
• Project-map waypoints show on boards, and open a read-only waypoint card.
• Line labels on boards now match the project map and are the right size on high-resolution screens. You can hide or show them from the Project Map layer's menu.

360° tourslink

• Panoramas that are not a 2:1 image, such as those from many laser scanners, are now shown at their real shape instead of being stretched to fill the sphere. A tour's Image coverage setting lets you override this.
• Panoramas now display at a much higher resolution, so they are noticeably sharper.
• Moving through a long tour no longer slows down as more panoramas are visited.

File formats and upload wizardslink

• iPhone photos (HEIC/HEIF) can be used in the upload wizards, on boards and on map pins.
• TIFF images can be used in the image and aerial wizards and on slides. Large TIFFs over 4 GB, such as big orthomosaics, now upload without being rejected.
• Images added to slides in GIF, BMP or TIFF are converted automatically, and images over 5 MB are scaled down.
• Thumbnails are now generated for videos, PDFs, TIFFs and HEIC photos.
• Each wizard says which formats it accepts. Files that cannot be used say whether the format is not supported or the file is too large, and when you cannot move on, the wizard says why. Closing a wizard you have started now asks first.
• Drawings in millimetres or centimetres are placed at the right size and position on the map. You can also scale a drawing down to ×0.001 or set its units yourself.
• When a drawing cannot be processed, the message now says why in plain language, for example an unsupported DWG version or an empty drawing.
• Panorama position files are more forgiving: column names in any case, common alternative names, semicolon or tab separators, and decimal commas. Errors name the row and column that need fixing. A position of 0,0 is treated as no position.
• Point clouds in LAS or LAZ show their footprint when you place them, and 3D models that look like they are in millimetres get a hint about their units.
• Scans whose file extension is in capitals, such as .E57, no longer fail to process.
• Map search now understands degrees-minutes-seconds and Ordnance Survey grid references such as TQ 30 80, and offers the swapped reading when coordinates look the wrong way round.

Mobile applink

• You can now edit the points of polylines and boundaries: drag a point, drag a midpoint to add one, delete a point or extend a line.
• Tapping a polyline or boundary opens a sheet with its length and the same actions as on desktop: edit points, rename, add a waypoint, move or hide the label, recolour and delete. Shape changes can be undone and redone.
• Polyline survey video can be played on the mobile map, and waypoints can be added, detached and moved along a line.

Projects and commentslink

• Issues is now turned on for every project, and new projects have it on by default.
• Deleting a project now works for projects that have held files. Before, it failed for them. A deleted project's files no longer count towards your storage.
• Comment and mention emails now show the text of the comment.
• The Issues list no longer shows issues raised on files that have since been deleted.
• File lists and project statistics load faster on large projects.
• We strengthened security around comment notifications.

Uploads and processinglink

• While a file is being processed, Vismo now tells you how long it is likely to take. You see your place in the queue and a rough wait, such as "Queued, 3 ahead · about 10–20 min", then the time left once processing starts. If it runs longer than usual, Vismo says so.
• Uploaded files are processed and ready sooner. Most files used to wait several seconds after their upload finished before they appeared.
• If processing an upload is taking a while at a busy time, the upload list now says the file is queued for processing instead of showing a spinner at 100% with no explanation.
• Uploads now retry if Vismo does not answer when a file starts uploading. Before, a brief interruption could mark a whole queue of waiting files as failed.

Project maplink

• Locate photos on the project map places a photo pin for each image that has a GPS position in its details. Pick photos one by one, or select all the photos in a folder.
• Survey video on a polyline now follows the distance shown on the camera's own on-screen counter, so the marker on the line matches where the camera actually was, even when it stopped or changed speed.
• Polyline survey video is now available on every project, and AVI videos are supported. They are converted so they play in the browser.

Projectslink

• Project numbers are now unique within an organisation. When you type a number that is already in use, Vismo shows which project has it and offers to open that project, or to ask for access if you are not on it. If you save anyway, the number gets a suffix, for example 1024 (2). Existing projects that shared a number have had a suffix added in the same way, with the oldest project keeping the original.
• When you create a project from a folder template, you can untick folders you do not want. Unticking a folder leaves out its subfolders too, and the preview now shows every level of the template.
• Organisation admins can now see their organisation's Private projects in the list of available projects, marked as ones they are not a member of, and add themselves to one as a member.
• The project dashboard now shows a card for every section in the project's sidebar, including Issues, Manhole Cards, Risk Assessments, Timesheets and Users where they are turned on.
• The project number has its own edit button on the dashboard. If a project has no number yet, you can add one from there.
• When creating a project, the location picker is now a field of its own, open straight away, rather than tucked inside More options.
• The archived project page is laid out in one centred column and no longer repeats itself.

Restoring from the cold archivelink

• The cold archive page has a search box. Type to see a flat list of matching files, each showing the folder it is in. Clear the search to return to the folder tree as you left it.
• You can now tick individual files, not just whole folders, when you restore part of an archived project.

Mobile applink

• You can rename photos and files picked from your gallery before they upload. Each file in the upload list has its own name field.
• Photos and files added from the map now go through the background upload queue, so you can keep working while they upload. The pin is placed once the file has finished uploading.

Smaller fixeslink

• Renaming a file or folder in the file explorer no longer sometimes reverts to the old name a moment later.
• Long pages no longer show a second scrollbar or scroll the whole window once you reach the bottom.
• We strengthened security around folder templates.

Export the project maplink

• The Maps page has a new Create PDF option. Frame the area you want, choose which layers to show, and add a cover page with a title block. Pins can be numbered on the map with an appendix listing each one. Choose A4 or A3, portrait or landscape, and grid references are shown in British National Grid. You can preview the PDF before creating it, then download it. A copy is also saved to the project's files.
• You can also turn the map into a presentation. Pick a slide size, add a cover slide, and the map slide is followed by pin cards, four to a slide. Video pins bring their video with them, and Fit all pins frames every pin at once.
• When you choose a live map slide, the wizard now explains that a layer you have only partly hidden will show in full. A frozen slide keeps exactly what you hid.
• Centrelines are now called polylines throughout the web and mobile apps. Nothing about how they work has changed.

360° tours in VRlink

• If your browser can show immersive VR, for example on a headset, an Enter VR button now appears while you are inside a 360° scan on a board. Look around with head tracking, point a controller at a scan to jump to it, and use the thumbstick to turn.
• In VR you can open a tour window with the mini-map and dolls house view, and read comment threads.

Markup inside 360° scanslink

• Comments, freehand drawings, lines, highlighter strokes and image pins made inside a 360° scan now show only from that scan. Before, they also showed from other scans in the same tour, in the wrong place. Comments already placed in a tour now follow the same rule.
• Drawings and image pins made inside a scan are listed under that scan in the layers panel, move with the tour when you reposition it, and are removed if the scan is deleted.
• Clicking to draw inside a scan no longer jumps you to another scan by mistake.
• The tour mini-map has + and − zoom buttons, and it moves out of the way when a side panel is open.

Smaller fixeslink

• A board's basemap now loads the whole map as you move around, not just a small area around the site.
• Uploads start reliably again in large organisations. Some uploads failed to start when many files were being uploaded at once.
• Geophoto set is now offered only for zip files of photos, the only kind it can use. Choosing it for other files used to fail.
• In a sub-folder, selecting a file no longer pushes the file list down, so double-clicking a file opens the one you clicked.
• The layers panel no longer shows empty Images / CAD or Annotations folders on older boards with tours.

Mobile applink

• Uploads from a project's dashboard or files now carry on in the background. After you choose files or take a photo you can keep working, for example open another folder or another project, while the files upload one after another.
• The camera stays open after each shot, so you can take several photos or videos in a row. Each one is added to your uploads as soon as you confirm it.
• With no signal, files wait in the queue and upload by themselves when the connection comes back. Keep the app open until they finish.
• A small bar at the bottom of the screen shows how many files are uploading, or that they are waiting for signal. Tap it to see each file, remove one, or retry any that failed.
• Photos uploaded this way are no longer offered for placing on the map straight away. To pin a photo, take it from the map instead.
• You can now create a project from the mobile app. Tap + on the projects list to choose a name, number, date, template and project features, just as you would on the web.

New projectslink

• New projects now start with only Boards and Map turned on. You can turn other features on when you create the project or later. Your own and your organisation's saved defaults still apply, and existing projects are unchanged.

Inviting Limited memberslink

• When you invite someone as a Limited member, you can now choose which folders they will see when they join. You can also change the folders on an invite that is still pending.
• Folder templates can mark folders as shared with Limited members by default. Those folders are pre-selected when you invite a Limited member to a project that uses the template.

Smaller fixeslink

• Tags now show for every file in large folders. Folders with a few hundred items could show no tags at all.
• Clicking or hovering over an IFC model in the 3D viewer no longer stops selection working.
• Dragging layers in the board layers panel no longer causes an error.
• The number inside a comment pin on a PDF or DWG drawing is now centred.
• We strengthened security around organisation access.

Inspection and monitoring dashboardslink

• Comments on an inspection dashboard now save. Previously you could type and submit one, but nothing was kept.
• Clicking a defect title on the inspection dashboard now opens that defect in the inspection viewer. Previously it linked back to the page you were already on.
• On a monitoring job that already has a baseline, the menu item and dialog now read Re-import Baseline. A warning explains that importing again adds to the existing baseline unless you choose to delete the existing targets.
• The Comments section on the monitoring session dashboard has been removed. It could not hold comments.

Uploadslink

• If a folder is deleted while files are still uploading into it, the remaining uploads to that folder now stop and you see a single message saying how many were stopped. Previously each file failed on its own, with no message.
• Uploads that are briefly held back because many are starting at once now retry automatically after a short wait, instead of failing.
• Cancelling an upload now releases the storage it had reserved straight away.
• Folders can now have one-character names, such as the station folders some scanners export. Uploading a folder that contained one used to fail.

Drawings and PDFslink

• Clicking a PDF page after choosing Pin photo or Add comment now places the pin or comment. Previously the click could do nothing.
• Very large DWG drawings no longer disappear from the preview once they finish loading.
• Open in 3D on a DWG file now opens the drawing's 3D view, and is hidden when the file does not have one.
• Files that cannot be previewed now say so plainly, with a link back to the file.

Drawing boundaries and centrelines on the maplink

• A banner at the top of the map now shows while you draw, with Save and Cancel buttons and a short note on how to finish. Save stays disabled until the shape has enough points.
• To finish a line, you can now click or tap its last point. This works on tablets, where double-tapping to finish was unreliable.
• While you draw, the side panel, the location search and the centreline toolbar are hidden to give you more room. They come back when you save or cancel.
• A selected centreline or boundary is now deselected when you pick a pin, click empty map or press Escape.
• The centreline toolbars at the bottom of the map no longer run underneath the side panel.
• Dragging the first point of a boundary onto its last point now merges the two. Dragging the end of a centreline back over its start no longer deletes a point.
• The button that shows or hides a line's label now tells screen readers what it will do.

Section cuts on boardslink

• A section cut now has top and bottom sliders, so you can keep just the band between them. For example, you can show a single storey. Boards saved before this change look the same as before.
• Section cuts now cut point clouds as well as models.
• Dragging a section cut slider now counts as one undo step, not one step for every movement.

Defectslink

• Clicking a defect in the defects panel now opens its photo in a floating panel beside the model. Previously the photo covered the board. You can move and resize the panel, and clicking another defect or pin changes the photo without moving the panel.

Drawings and PDFslink

• Spaces now work when you type a comment on a PDF. Previously the comment box ignored them and moved the comment to the middle of the page.
• Pin photo and Add comment now stay in place when you scroll a PDF, and they are easier to see against the drawing.
• Add comment is hidden on older files that cannot hold anchored comments. Previously it was shown on these files, but saving the comment failed.
• While a DWG drawing with several layouts is being processed, the preview now shows how many layouts are ready so far. IFC files show how many storeys are ready.

Archived projectslink

• Projects in cold storage now show a read-only list of their folders and files, with each file's size and date last changed. People who can restore the project see a Restore button below the list.

Smaller fixeslink

• The search box in the file explorer is now the same height as the buttons beside it.

Add images, 3D models and point clouds to a boardlink

Add to Board has three new guided wizards:

• Add an image takes JPG, PNG and WebP files, places geotagged photos automatically and lets you position the rest with two points, in the same way as aerial imagery.
• Add a 3D model takes GLB, OBJ and IFC files. You set the board's location if it does not have one yet, then drop a pin on the map with a heading and scale.
• Add a point cloud takes LAS and LAZ files with the same pin-based placement. E57 and zipped scans still go through Add a file, and the wizard says so.

Finishing any of these wizards is now a single undo step. Undoing a placement removes the object and any board location or basemap the wizard set along with it, rather than leaving the location behind.

Cards for wizards that are still on the way are shown as coming soon.

Draw on presentation slideslink

Reviewers can now mark up a presentation slide with a pen, a straight line or a highlighter, in six colours and three widths. Markup has its own undo, separate from editing the deck, and you can click one of your own strokes to delete it. A Show markup toggle hides the layer when you want to see the slide on its own.

Markup scales with the slide as you zoom, and it never appears in PDF exports or shared views of the deck.

Removing someone from an organisationlink

Removing a member from the organisation's Members page now opens a preview first. It shows their role, teams and every project they can reach, with the access they would be left with. You can keep selected projects as guest access. Anything you do not keep is removed along with the membership. The last administrator of an organisation cannot be removed.

Previously, removing a member left their project access in place.

Smaller changeslink

• Inviting someone into an Organisation Open project no longer fails with a message saying they are already a member.
• Upload Files and Upload Folders in Project Files are now one joined control. It no longer shifts on hover, and the page description sits on the same row as the sort and view controls.
• The presentation Choose a file dialog has a single scrollbar on shorter screens, and Load more stays visible instead of being pushed under the footer.

Find a project from the maplink

The projects map now searches project names, numbers and organisations as well as places. Matching projects appear in a compact results panel with their cover image and location, so you can go straight to the right project without leaving the map.

Inside a project, the map now fills the workspace and its tools sit over it rather than taking space away from it. Boundaries, centre lines and pins have been reorganised into clearer Layers and Pins panels, with controls to show or hide individual boundaries and centre lines and to filter pins by boundary.

Walk through a 3D modellink

The 3D viewer has a new Walk control. While it is on, dragging turns the view in place instead of orbiting around the wall or object under the pointer, and keyboard movement uses a steady walking pace rather than changing with the camera's distance from the model.

Walk mode does not yet include collision detection or floor locking, so it is still possible to move through a wall or leave a floor under your own control.

Larger PDFs, and ZIP imports that use less memorylink

• PDFs over 100 MB can now open in the page-by-page viewer. The browser fetches the parts it needs as you move through the document instead of downloading the whole PDF before showing the first page. Limits for other file types are unchanged.
• Extracting a large ZIP now streams each file into the upload rather than building another complete copy in browser memory. ZIP extraction still needs the current browser session to remain open; ordinary file uploads keep their existing cross-session resume behaviour.

File outputs survive a failed replacementlink

When a new file version needs fresh 2D or 3D outputs, the previous successful output now stays available until its replacement has completed. A failed conversion therefore no longer leaves the file with nothing to view.

Stale outputs now explain whether they are already regenerating, will catch up automatically, or need Process it again to be selected manually.

Smaller changeslink

• The activity drawer opens on Notifications by default, switching to Tasks & Uploads only when there are tasks to show and no notifications.
• Report a bug is back in the sidebar, Ideas is in the header again, and Announcements sits beside What's new in the profile menu.
• Empty Boards, Inspections, Issues, Manhole Cards and Monitoring pages no longer add a blank scroll gap below their content.
• Large recursive deletes no longer trigger a new file-tag request for every removed item, and a missing sign-in session now recovers without entering a repeated error loop.
• Pin rows highlight as a whole on hover, and file-preview tooltips open into the available space instead of being cut off at the right edge.

Gaussian splats on boardslink

Gaussian splat captures can now be placed on a board alongside your models, drawings and photos. Add a splat from the board's add menu and it loads into the same 3D viewer, so a photorealistic capture and a survey model can sit in one scene.

• Supported formats are .spz, .ply, .splat and .ksplat.
• A selected splat shows its file, size and opacity in the info and attributes panels, and the opacity can be turned down so a splat reads as context behind the model rather than covering it.
• Zoom-to-extents, selection boxes and the reveal after placing all frame the capture itself. A full-scene capture usually carries a thin shell of sky and background around the subject; that is now discounted, so the board settles on the building instead of the horizon.

Cut a board at a heightlink

A new Section cut panel on the board's right-hand strip hides everything above a chosen height, so a building can be read storey by storey without hiding objects one at a time. The slider's range comes from what is actually on the board, and a board with no 3D content says so rather than offering a slider with nowhere to go.

Dragging the slider updates the view live and for anyone else on the board, and one drag is one step in the undo history. The height is saved with the board. Point clouds are not cut in this release — they stay fully visible while the cut is on.

Crop a drawing after it is on the boardlink

Cropping used to be available only while a drawing was being placed. There is now a Crop button in the inspector, next to A–B Realign, so a placed image can be re-cropped at any time. Trimming an edge no longer slides the imagery: the drawing stays put over whatever it was aligned to, and its scale is untouched.

Folder downloads that finishlink

Downloading a folder as a zip could stop partway with a "failed to write entry to zip file" error and leave you with nothing — not a rare event, and until now we could not see why.

• A file that fails is retried, and if it still will not read it is skipped so the rest of the archive completes. The download task reports how many files were skipped and names them, rather than abandoning the whole folder.
• The underlying transfer of each file was simplified, which removes a class of failures outright, and the cause of any remaining failure is now recorded so we can act on it.

Smaller changeslink

• Defect pins on a 3D model could draw twice — the real pin on the surface, and a second copy floating clear of it that slid around as you orbited. Clicks and the selection ring landed on the copy you were not looking at. Pins now sit proud of the surface without drifting off it.
• Uploading a file whose name matched an existing one showed a prompt offering to upload it as a new version, which then failed. Same-name uploads behave as they did before again, creating a separate file.
• Screens now read your role and permissions for the organisation you are actually viewing, rather than inferring one. This matters when you belong to more than one organisation: what you can do on a page always matches the organisation in the address bar.

Size the board's side panels to the worklink

Both side panels in the board viewer can now be resized by dragging their inner edge. The width you choose is remembered between visits, arrow keys nudge it for fine adjustment, and double-clicking the handle puts it back to the default.

• The show and hide checkboxes are reachable again. In Board objects, each row's visibility checkbox sat outside the panel at the default width and could only be reached by scrolling the tree sideways. It now stays inside the panel at every width.
• The panel heading no longer breaks mid-word when the panel is dragged to its narrowest.

The board runs edge to edgelink

The side panels and the right-hand icon strip now sit on a translucent surface over the board rather than taking columns out of it, so your model, drawings and photos fill the full width of the window. The toolbars step aside so nothing is covered, and the panels fall back to a solid surface if you have reduced transparency turned on.

Zoom-to-extents still frames the whole canvas rather than just the part you can see, so a little content can sit behind a panel after fitting. That is on the list.

3D models open at the right distancelink

Opening a 3D model used to start you much too far out, with a long zoom in before you could see anything — worst on tall, narrow buildings, where a model could be framed around eight times too wide. Models are now framed using their true shape and orientation, so they open close to the size you expect.

Boards that also carry a set of photos still frame the whole photo spread rather than the model alone; that is a separate improvement still to come.

The last point of a boundary is keptlink

Double-clicking to finish a boundary or centre line now keeps the point you finished on. It was previously discarded, so the shape you drew was not quite the shape you got. You can also finish with Enter.

Mentioning someone assigns the thread to themlink

Typing an @-mention in a comment now assigns that thread to the person you named and notifies them in the app. Mentioning is the act of handing something over, rather than a decoration on the text.

British National Grid, converted properlylink

Coordinates are now converted between British National Grid and latitude/longitude using the official OSTN15 transformation rather than an approximation. The approximation was roughly two metres out, which is enough to visibly offset overlays from the scans beneath them. The grid data is a hard requirement now — if it cannot be loaded, conversion fails loudly rather than silently falling back to the less accurate method.

Alongside it, a fix for map pins that drifted across the ground as you zoomed, and the basemap is now rotated into the National Grid frame so it lines up with the drawings on top of it.

Pick a colour for each boundarylink

Boundaries can be given their own colour instead of taking one from a fixed sequence, which makes overlapping site areas readable.

Uploads keep movinglink

Uploads are now dispatched as each part completes rather than on a fixed timer, so a large upload no longer idles between chunks. Browsing a large folder tree while uploading no longer starves the upload queue, and extracting a zip is no longer capped at 500 files.

Invitations and transfers that explain themselveslink

• An invitation sent to someone who already belongs to an organisation is now reachable, and explains what accepting would mean rather than refusing without a reason.
• If a transfer or an invitation is refused because the destination is at its user limit, the message says so.

Smaller fixeslink

• The project list's organisation grouping is rebuilt on a paginated foundation, so it stays correct and quick for accounts with many projects, and a project keeps its organisation context through a transfer.
• The search-miss empty state no longer overflows the toolbar.
• Toasts are opaque, removing a ghosting artefact behind them.
• A virtual tour can be positioned in the wizard and moved as one piece on the board.
• The project image updates immediately after you change it, instead of showing the old one until a hard reload.
• Open a project's location in Google Maps from the map toolbar.
• The colour-picker popover arrow points at the swatch it belongs to.
• Fixes to PDF overlays on the map and to the drawer preview.
• The back office organisation billing and quota screens work again, and a blank quota is correctly treated as unlimited.
• We tightened the bounds on credentials the client holds for delivering files.

Slides have nameslink

Slides can be given names, and those names show in the editor and navigation — a long deck is now navigable by what is on the slides rather than by number.

Sharing is easier to findlink

Share links for boards, files, and maps are surfaced where you are working rather than buried in a menu, and a shared presentation opens full-screen.

Presentation editorlink

• Elements can be moved from a rim around their edge, so dragging no longer fights with selecting.
• Click to place a new element where you clicked.
• Insert several images at once.
• Images can be cropped in the editor.
• PDF calibration can be launched from inside a presentation.
• SVG files get a thumbnail and can be placed on slides.
• Rotating a board overlay follows the direction your drag sweeps.

Smaller fixeslink

• Accepting an organisation invitation now gives an unmistakable result on every path, success or refusal, instead of landing you somewhere ambiguous.
• A file the browser cannot read is reported by name when dropped, instead of silently vanishing from the upload.
• An object that fails to load no longer stalls the board for thirty seconds.
• The white-label logo falls back predictably when a custom logo is unavailable.
• A View more control in the file explorer footer for long folders.
• We continued routine security maintenance across the platform's dependencies.

Issueslink

A comment can be raised as an issue, and a project now has an Issues page collecting them. Issues are a per-project feature you can switch on or off, and resolved threads drop out of the open list rather than accumulating there.

Comments on map pins and on a point in a drawinglink

Map pins carry comment threads, and a thread now has a state — open or resolved — so a question raised on site can be tracked to an answer rather than scrolling out of view.

A comment can also be anchored to a specific point on a PDF page or a DWG layout, not just to the file as a whole. The comment stays on the point it refers to as people pan and zoom.

Watch a projectlink

Opt in to watching a project and you are notified in the bell when files land in it and when comments are posted. The feature is simply called Watch, and the email opt-in sits on the Watch button itself.

The dolls house viewlink

Scanned buildings can be viewed floor by floor, with a per-floor orbit control for looking at a single level in isolation. Generation runs as a background task and you are notified when it is ready, with the option available from both the wizard and project settings.

Drawingslink

• PDF pages can be laid over a board and faded in and out, so a drawing can be compared against what was actually built.
• The drawing wizard lets you choose which layout from a multi-layout CAD file to place.
• 2D drawings can be generated at two levels of detail, chosen up front.
• Modern DWG previews support page overlays again.

Smaller fixeslink

• Oversized and empty files in a drop are now reported individually, instead of silently disappearing from the upload.
• Copying a project returns a task you can check on, you are notified in the app when it finishes, and you can opt into an email as well.
• The satellite basemap has place labels.
• The file explorer item menu is grouped, with inspection actions behind More.
• Point-cloud opacity previews live as you drag the slider.
• Fixed a "Couldn't load pages" error in the Add a PDF wizard.
• A failed presentation PDF export says what went wrong, and the size limit it advertises is the size it actually accepts.
• The portal has a consistent page content width.

• Files without an extension upload correctly. They were previously rejected at the point the upload was finalised.
• A request to join a project is no longer lost if the notification to the administrator fails to send. The request is recorded either way.

The home page, rebuiltlink

Your project list was redesigned around how people actually use it.

• Three ways to look at it. Cards, a dense table, and a horizontal rail, with the layout you pick remembered between visits.
• Grouping and filtering that hold up. Filter by organisation, group by status, and have the sections stay where you put them.
• A layout that adapts to new accounts. Someone with two projects no longer sees a page built for someone with two hundred.
• Better covers. Generated project covers carry the project number, and adjacent projects no longer end up with near-identical artwork.

Ask for access to a project you can seelink

Projects your organisation runs but you are not on now appear as Available Projects — a discovery band on the home page, with a browse drawer listing the rest. Joining is an explicit request that writes a real membership, and the row tells you its state — open to join, requested, already a member — rather than leaving you to infer it from a button. Inviting your team has a clear entry point in the same place.

Zip files open in placelink

Zip archives now upload as a single file and are extracted on demand from the file explorer, so you can look inside one without downloading it and unpacking it locally.

Drawings and boardslink

• CAD drawings that carry their own geographic properties are now placed on the map automatically, at the right scale — previously a manual alignment step.
• Board images can be adjusted quickly in place, and flat 2D drawings render with a transparent background so what is underneath stays visible.
• North lock is off by default, boards without a location can be realigned, and placing two alignment points on the same spot is caught rather than producing a broken transform.
• The viewer remembers the background colour you chose.
• Very large TIFF files open in the viewer.

Maps and boundarieslink

• Boundaries can be created, named, renamed, labelled, and have their points edited on the mobile map — the desktop map gained labels at the same time.
• The first vertex of a boundary shows as soon as you tap it, rather than after the second.
• Distances and areas can be measured on the mobile map.
• Photo pins show which way the camera was facing.

Fileslink

• Bulk download returns everything you selected. It previously returned only the first file.
• Shift-click and ctrl-click select ranges and sets in the file manager.
• A file can be uploaded straight into a pin's file picker.
• Version selectors are reachable from a file's title row.
• Pinned and recently-viewed items survive a new release instead of resetting.

Archived storage is charged at a quarterlink

Files moved into long-term archive storage now count for 25% of their size against your organisation's storage quota. Archiving an old project is a real reduction in what you are using, not just a change of where the bytes live.

Smaller fixeslink

• Pins auto-placed from a drawing correctly report that their location was detected rather than set by hand.

Preview and compare versions of a filelink

Now that files carry versions, you can preview any version and put two side by side — the practical way to answer "what changed in this revision?" without downloading both.

Pins placed from the drawing itselflink

When a PDF drawing carries coordinates in its own content, pins for those points are now placed automatically when the drawing is added, and each one records that its position came from the drawing rather than from someone dropping it by hand.

Smaller fixeslink

• A project's cover image can be removed, not just replaced.
• Copying files into a folder you cannot write to is now refused up front, instead of failing after you confirm.
• Proper not-found pages across the portal, sign-in, back office, and mobile app, rather than a blank screen.
• The mobile app can record video and pin it in one step.
• Archived projects show their long-term storage usage on the project list.

Archive a project when you choose tolink

Archiving no longer has to wait for the automatic schedule. An explicit Cold Store Now action moves a project's files into long-term storage immediately, and the archived project page was rebuilt so the state of a project — what has moved, what is still moving, what it now costs — is legible at a glance.

Three users on the free planlink

The free plan's organisation user limit went from two to three, and the messages you see when you hit a plan limit were rewritten to say which limit you hit and what to do about it, instead of a generic refusal.

Video pins on the maplink

A map pin can hold video as well as photos, so a walkthrough clip can be anchored to the exact place it was taken.

Smaller fixeslink

• What3words locations on the project dashboard show the slash prefix once, not twice.
• We continued routine security maintenance across the platform's dependencies.

Video on presentation slideslink

Slides can now carry a video element alongside images, text, and file buttons — useful for site walkthroughs and progress footage that a still image cannot carry.

Presentation overlays load ahead of youlink

Files overlaid on presentation slides are now cached and fetched as you approach the slide rather than when you land on it, so moving through a deck no longer pauses on the heavier slides.

Smaller fixeslink

• Colour sampling — picking a colour from what is on screen — now works in Safari, using a screen-capture fallback where the native picker is unavailable.
• Assets are compressed more aggressively in transit, and clients stuck on an old build are now reliably moved onto the current one.

Uploading the same file again creates a new versionlink

Drop a file with a name that already exists and you are now asked whether you meant to replace it — and if you did, it becomes a new version of the existing file rather than a second copy sitting alongside it. The Document Workspace has the same option directly on a file, so you can deliberately upload a revision without hunting for the original folder.

A batch of presentation editor improvementslink

• Editing large presentations is noticeably quicker.
• Elements can be hidden, or given partial opacity, without deleting them.
• Zoom behaves properly at every level, including on high-density screens.
• Copy and paste works across slides and presentations, and pasted elements land where you expect.
• A4 page sizing is available for presentations destined for print.

Elsewherelink

• Archiving a large project shows live progress while files move, rather than appearing to hang.
• The mobile metric pages gained a current-state strip at the top, summarising where a project stands right now.
• The mobile app detects a new release and prompts to reload, matching the behaviour the web portal already had.

See what archiving actually saves youlink

Projects using long-term archive storage now show the saving on the storage figures, so it is obvious what moving older files out of hot storage buys you.

A white background for drawingslink

Drawings can be viewed on a white background instead of the dark viewer canvas — a toggle in the viewer, remembered as you move between drawings. Line work printed for paper reads far better this way.

Smaller fixeslink

• New releases now reach you without a hard refresh. Previously a browser could hold on to an old build until you cleared it by hand.
• The sidebar collapse control moved into the panel itself, at the bottom, instead of floating over the content next to it.
• A round of accessibility fixes to page landmarks, headings, and status messages, so screen readers announce the portal correctly.
• Sign-in was moved fully onto its own dedicated host, finishing a change that had been rolling out in stages.

Download your presentation as a PDFlink

Presentations can now leave the platform. A new Download as PDF option — in the presentation's row menu and in the builder toolbar — turns the whole presentation into a single PDF you can email, print, or archive.

• Every slide, faithfully. Slides export at their on-screen size with backgrounds, text styling, and links intact.
• Attached files come along. A slide button linking to a PDF brings that file's real pages into the export, and a button linking to an image adds it as a full page. The buttons themselves become in-document jumps, so someone reading the PDF lands on the right page — no Vismo account needed.
• Files that can't be fetched or read are skipped individually rather than failing the whole export.

Line up slide elements togetherlink

Arranging a slide used to mean nudging elements into place one at a time. Now you can select several at once and edit them as a group.

• Align in one click. With multiple elements selected, align them left, right, or to a shared horizontal centre.
• Style the whole selection. Colour changes apply to everything you've selected, not just the last element you clicked.
• Drag from anywhere. A multi-selection moves by dragging anywhere inside its box — no more hunting for the right grab point.
• Snapping now works while resizing. Edges snap to nearby elements and the canvas, with the same pink guide lines you see when dragging — and corner handles snap each axis independently.
• Paragraph alignment for text. Text elements gain left, centre, right, and justify alignment, applied per paragraph from the floating toolbar.
• Eyedropper where you'd expect it. The colour eyedropper now lives inside the colour picker, alongside the swatches.

Viewing a presentation is a little smoother too: closing a linked file takes you back to the slide you were on, and clicking the current slide closes whatever file is open.

CAD drawings open properly from slideslink

Linking a CAD drawing (DWG or DXF) to a slide used to end in a "we can't preview this file type" message. Those links now open the full CAD viewer, just as they do from the project's files.

• Still processing? We'll say so. A drawing whose rendering hasn't finished shows a clear "still being processed" notice — and swaps in the viewer automatically once it's ready, no refresh needed.
• Works for shared presentations too, so guests see the drawing rather than an error.

Your boards now follow the project maplink

Adding your project's map elements to a board used to take a copy of them. The moment someone moved a pin, renamed one, or drew a new boundary, the board quietly fell out of date — and the only way to catch up was to build the board again.

Boards now read those elements straight from the project map, every time you open one. Add a pin to the map and it's on the board. Rename it, move it, delete it, and the board agrees. There is nothing to refresh and nothing to re-create.

• They look like they do on the map. Pins carry the same colour and icon for their type, at a size that stays readable however far you zoom out.
• They tidy themselves up. Pins sitting on top of each other collapse into a single count. Click it to zoom in, or pick from a list when they're stacked in one spot.
• Click for the details. Selecting a pin opens the same details card you get on the map, with its photo, its file, and a link to open that file.
• Hide what you don't need. Individual pins, lines and boundaries can be hidden on a board without touching the project map or any other board. Hide the whole layer, or bring it back, from the layers panel.

Existing boards pick this up on their own — open one and its map elements refresh to match the map, with anything you'd previously hidden still hidden.

The Vismo mobile app — closed betalink

Vismo now has a mobile app built for the field, launching first as a closed beta with a select group of testers. Once the beta phase wraps up, it will roll out to everyone — if you'd like early access, get in touch.

For those in the beta: open Vismo on your phone, sign in with your usual account, and add it to your home screen — it installs like a native app, no app store required.

The mobile app is focused on what you need on site:

• Your projects, front and centre. The app opens on your projects list, with search and a switch between your projects and everything in your organisation.
• The project map in your pocket. See the project location, boundaries, and every map pin — with street and satellite views, a locate-me button, and pins that cluster neatly when they share a spot.
• Photos that become pins. Take a photo from the map and, if it carries a location, it drops straight onto the map as an editable pin. Pins can be viewed, edited, moved, and deleted from a single sheet.
• Files from the field. Browse the project's files, create folders, rename and delete, and upload photos or files directly — with clear messages if a file is too large, and the option to cancel an upload mid-flight.
• Set the project location on the go. Search for an address or drop a pin to set where a project lives.

If you lose signal, the app shows a proper Vismo screen rather than a browser error, and it will tell you when a new version is available.

Edit your project right where you see itlink

Keeping project details up to date no longer means a trip into Settings. Everything now lives on the project dashboard itself:

• Name, number, status, and date are edited directly from the dashboard title and facts strip. Collaborating organisations keep their own project aliases, and read-only members simply see the details without edit controls.
• Project location is set on the map. Click the map or search for an address, confirm the address card, and save — moving or removing a location is just as direct. The old Location tab in Settings is gone.
• A refreshed project dashboard. A cleaner image-and-details header, a quieter facts strip, a dedicated Team row, and a workspace grid that adapts properly to smaller screens.
• Simpler project creation. Creating a project asks only for the essentials — name, number, template, and group — with everything else tucked under More options. New projects greet their editors with a short, dismissible setup checklist for adding an image, a location, and a description.
• Settings points the way. Project Settings keeps its Features, Access, Transfer, and Danger tabs, with short signposts guiding editors to the new homes for details, images, and location.

Choose how your files are processedlink

Uploading a CAD file no longer commits you to a fixed set of outputs. A new Process for viewing step lets you pick which views to generate, described in plain English rather than technical format names. Opening a file that still needs a choice raises the same picker, and once a file has more than one output you can switch between them from inside the viewer.

The CAD viewer itself also improved: files with multiple layouts show a layout picker, drawings appear faster with a fitted first view instead of a blank canvas, and a bug that could leave black tiles in large drawings is fixed.

Smaller improvementslink

• Many more CAD drawings now render correctly, including paper-space sheet layouts and several dialect quirks that previously failed conversion.
• Manhole report PDFs carry your organisation's logo, and manhole PDFs with photos generate reliably — photos can now be deleted as well as replaced.
• Map pins that share a location now cluster on the project map, with a pick list to choose between them.
• Clicking inside the file preview panel no longer closes it.
• Continued security hardening across the platform.

Sharper large CAD drawingslink

Large DWG and DXF drawings now render through a new hybrid pipeline: raster overview tiles when you are zoomed out, and exact vector detail as you zoom in. Line work stays crisp at every zoom level instead of softening into a fixed-resolution image, and very large drawings become usable rather than just viewable.

Where the hybrid rendering cannot be produced, we now fall back automatically to a single-image render. The file's outputs panel names each rendering method, keeps the history of both, and shows a short notice explaining that a fallback happened — so a drawing that took the second route no longer looks like an unexplained failure.

Adding a drawing to a board also reuses a rendering that already exists instead of queueing a fresh one, so the wizard opens ready to place.

Live progress while drawings renderlink

Rendering jobs now report real progress from the backend rather than an estimate. Queued work shows as waiting, active work reports a percentage, and each layout in a multi-layout CAD file reports its own progress separately — so you can tell the difference between "nothing has started yet" and "this is halfway through".

Comments on presentationslink

Presentations join boards, files and projects as somewhere you can hold a conversation. Comment threads work the same way, respect who has access to the presentation, and mention emails link straight back to the comment.

Choose a project's features as you create itlink

The project create page now sets which tools a project has from the start, rather than creating the project and then configuring it. Timesheets and manhole cards also became opt-in per project: turning them on for your organisation no longer makes them appear in every project you own.

Smaller improvementslink

• Setting up an organisation is now optional. A Skip for now action lets you straight into the app, and the choice is remembered.
• Manhole card photos can be removed, not just replaced.
• The file preview pane closes when the file it is showing is deleted.
• Point-cloud and tileset archives that wrap their contents in a folder now import correctly, and a failed conversion no longer leaves the job stuck.
• Continued security hardening across the web app and its dependencies.

Pin photos to drawingslink

Survey photos can now be pinned to exact coordinates on PDF and CAD drawings — evidence of site conditions sits right where it was found. This extends the photo pins that already work on images and 3D scenes to the drawings themselves.

Realign images already on a boardlink

Placed an image with slightly-off alignment? You can now re-run the two-point alignment from the inspector without deleting and re-placing it.

Presentationslink

• Opening a presentation now lands in a clean viewing mode — reduced chrome, fullscreen, arrow-key navigation. Editing is a deliberate switch rather than the default.
• Presentation text supports any font size via a free-entry field in the toolbar.

Smaller improvementslink

• The what's-new menu in the portal now links to this changelog.
• Changelog section headings gained a share link that copies the section's address.
• Continued security hardening around sign-in and session handling.

Move or copy boards between projectslink

You can now move or copy a board into another project. The transfer dialog shows which files will be copied across, so nothing is left behind by accident.

Faster file searchlink

The file explorer searches as you type. Start a term with # to match tags only, so you can jump straight to tagged files.

CAD and large drawingslink

• Import raw DWG and DXF drawings straight into a board from the file browser.

Presentationslink

• Add multiple links to a single presentation button and choose how each one opens.
• New board controls: folders to organise layers, an updated toolbar, and keyboard shortcuts.
• Share links now work consistently across boards, files, projects, and presentations.

Smaller improvementslink

• Clearer feedback when a request would exceed your plan's limit, so you know why it stopped and what to do next.
• Clearer messaging on the password-reset screen.
• Continued security hardening around sign-in and session handling.

• The Ideas and Announcements panels are available again in the portal.

Lead capturelink

For eligible organisations, admins have a new leads dashboard: enquiries raised on your projects are collected in one place, with notifications routed to an email address you configure.

Point clouds and CADlink

• Convert E57 scans to LAZ point clouds, and measure directly on the converted clouds.
• Fixes to CAD line styling so drawings reload correctly.
• 2D CAD outputs open in the flat viewer and show honest processing state.

Smaller improvementslink

• MOV video files play inline, with a download fallback where a browser can't play them.
• Continued security hardening across the platform.

3D viewer overhaullink

A large batch of viewer improvements landed together:

• Select individual child objects in an IFC model and see their details in the info panel, with space entities hidden by default.
• Lighting presets, sensible near/far clipping planes, and a fix for flickering surfaces on overlapping geometry.
• An orbit-point indicator that scales with zoom and stays visible on very large models.
• Configure how point clouds display, including point size and colour mode.

Files that show their worklink

• Viewers now unlock only when a file's outputs genuinely exist, with clear per-file processing status.
• Every output a file produces (2D previews and 3D models) is listed individually, each with its own view and download, and a label showing the conversion type.
• Thumbnails appear across file listings.
• Add hashtag tags to files and folders, with organisation-wide suggestions.
• Pin close-up images onto a parent image.
• Separate "Upload Files" and "Upload Folders" buttons.
• Grant or revoke folder access in bulk for a limited-access user, with a clear per-user summary.

Securitylink

We carried out a broad programme of security hardening across the platform.

3D viewer improvementslink

• The IFC engine was upgraded to a new version, with model selection fixes on top.
• Fly around models with arrow-key and WASD navigation, including in-place rotation and adjustable sensitivity.
• Selection-box padding, occlusion and axis-alignment fixes, and the transform gizmo now re-syncs correctly after undo/redo.

Finding your way into an organisationlink

A new "Report a bug" option in the Help menu captures your description and technical context and sends it straight to our team. The Help menu was also streamlined into a clearer hub.

Preview email fileslink

Uploaded .eml and .msg email files now render as formatted previews, with headers, body and attachment list, instead of raw text.

Smaller improvementslink

• Project viewers can be upgraded to full membership in one click.
• Group "My Projects" by organisation.
• Renaming or creating a file or folder now saves when you click away, instead of discarding your change.
• Member search now matches anywhere in a name, not just the start.
• A project location link opens the in-app map, and a fix restored double-click-to-open in the file explorer.

A Free plan for everyonelink

A Free plan is now available to anyone without a paid subscription, with clear project and storage limits and a friendlier billing page.

Tidy your project listlink

Hide projects you don't need from your listing, and reveal them again whenever you want.

Smaller improvementslink

• Manage project groups and reusable folder templates from Organisation settings, with a redesigned template picker.
• Upload a project cover image with a crop-and-zoom dialog to frame it just right.
• Open map pin images as a full-screen overlay, with a smoother pin image viewer.
• A more compact Project Files header with a collapsible folder tree.
• Removed a duplicated "Hide" entry from the project card menu, plus dark-mode fixes for template chips and settings padding.

• Switch between table, list and thumbnail layouts, with a configurable page size.
• Uploads preserve folder structure across browsers, with separate file and folder uploads and automatic extraction of zipped folders.
• A post-upload report confirms what succeeded, "Select all" spans every page, TIF/TIFF images now preview, and map pins can show an inline file preview.

Settings, redesignedlink

Project, Organisation and Account settings were rebuilt as clean, tabbed layouts, with independent save actions and an unsaved-changes guard. Organisation people (members, invitations and join requests) were consolidated into a single tabbed view.

Floor plans from point cloudslink

Generate a 2D floor plan directly from point-cloud scans and place it on the project map.

Guided board creationlink

• A guided wizard for creating boards.

Members see the projects they can reach, can request access to restricted ones, and admins are notified of requests in the bell icon. Teams can be created and bound to projects with per-team roles, and admins can restrict downloads on shared projects.

IFC floor plans you can measurelink

IFC building models now render as 2D floor plans, one per storey, that you can measure directly. This landed with reliable handling of real-world files, automatic calibration, and support for larger files.

New file viewerslink

• Spreadsheets (.csv, .xlsx, .xls) open as interactive tables with rich cell formatting, search, three-state sorting and resizable columns.
• Word documents (.docx) render as formatted previews.
• Export monitoring, session, job and inspection data tables to CSV.

Presentations (available on request)link

For organisations with Presentations enabled:

Guided tutorials and hintslink

A new in-app tutorials and onboarding hints system to help you find your way around.

Smaller improvementslink

• Double-click a file to open it straight into the right viewer, with a 2D Preview button added to the 3D viewer.
• Group projects into named categories and create reusable folder templates.
• Assign chainage along a centreline, sorted with snap-to-line.
• See your own live location on the project map, with a more accurate location dot.
• Faster, flicker-free grouped project lists.
• A batch of fixes: map address fields, reverse-geocoding a dropped pin, folder-tree refresh after deletion, always-visible file checkboxes, and a friendlier message when you request access to a project twice.

Uploads that survive interruptionslink

Large uploads now keep going through laptop sleep and tab switches, and can be resumed after a page refresh, re-sending only the pieces that didn't make it.

Centrelines and chainagelink

Draw a centreline (road, pipe or rail) and assign chainage to pins along it, with distance from the start and left/right offset worked out automatically.

Presentations (available on request)link

For organisations with Presentations enabled:

• Add files to a presentation directly from within Vismo.

• Enhanced zoom on the image viewer.
• The Activity panel was removed from the File Manager to declutter the view.
• People are emailed when they auto-join a project.
• Improved boundary colours, and a fix for blank map tiles at extreme zoom.

Presentations (available on request)link

For organisations with Presentations enabled, a new builder lets you assemble visual summaries from your project's assets. Presentations are tied to a project and appear as cards on the project dashboard, and slide links show a thumbnail preview of what they point to. Speak to us if you would like access.

A dedicated 2D viewer for DWG and DXFlink

Open DWG and DXF drawings in a fast new 2D viewer: browse layouts, pan and zoom, and calibrate (including by a known scale ratio), all in the browser, with a link through to the 3D viewer. Measurement tools also work directly on DWG drawings in top-down view.

What3Words addresseslink

Project locations now show What3Words addresses across the map, files page, settings and headers, giving field teams a simple way to pinpoint a spot. The location picker shows the live address as you choose it, with an expandable full-viewport map.

More ways to organise projectslink

• Projects can now have multiple named, colour-coded boundaries instead of just one.
• Each organisation can give a shared project its own alias name and project number.
• Project transfer now lets you keep a copy, archive the original or hand it over cleanly, with clear provenance shown afterwards.
• Project lists show content indicator chips and can be filtered by content, role and status, and folders show a file-count chip.

A richer project dashboardlink

The project dashboard gained a full-width hero banner using your project image, with the description, comments, share and member avatars grouped into it.

Files and viewinglink

• A new plain-text and code file viewer covering dozens of formats.
• Drag and drop files and folders straight into the explorer, with a folder-tree sidebar.

• Project dashboards can show summary counts of projects, files and users.
• File lists now show how many comments each file has.
• A fix for a blank screen that could appear on mobile after an update, plus faster loading and a tidier collapsible sidebar.

Measure directly on your drawingslink

Calibrate a PDF plan and take straight-line measurements directly on the page, without leaving your browser.

Smaller improvementslink

• A cleaner project dashboard sidebar, with centred forms and tidier collapsed labels.
• Location and address search combined into one smoother experience.
• File explorer and image carousel usability and dark-mode fixes.
• A more streamlined new-user onboarding flow.

• Confirmation emails no longer expire before you get the chance to use them.
• Signing in with an unconfirmed email now shows a clear message instead of a confusing "wrong password" error.

• Pin a PDF page to a location on the map, connecting plan documents to their real-world position.

Project maps and pinslink

Projects now have a location on an interactive map. Drop typed map pins, give them labels and descriptions, and browse them from a collapsible tray. Pins can carry a description and link to more than one board. Switch between street and satellite views, and see all of an organisation's located projects together in a single map view.

Smaller improvementslink

• Viewers now show real names for people and organisations instead of internal identifiers.
• A further fix to password reset so the email is sent correctly.

• The 360° walkthrough viewer now has a mini-map, so you can always tell where you are while exploring a capture.

• Password reset now sends the email it should, so you can get back into your account.

• Smoother navigation around 360° panorama captures.
• Fixed a bug where the app kept checking on a file conversion that had already failed, instead of stopping and reporting it.

• Announcements and ideas now each have their own icon and side panel, so they're easier to find and tell apart.
• Revit-to-IFC conversion, available on request, is now more reliable.

• Vismo updates now roll out more reliably.

Revit-to-IFC conversion is available on request. For organisations with it enabled, conversions now time out cleanly if they get stuck instead of hanging indefinitely. Speak to us if you would like access.
