Changelog

Rectangular areas now take three clicks: set the first side, then pull out the width. The rectangle may be rotated freely. It works when drawing roof areas, when measuring and on facades in 3D. A right-click undoes the last click.

Once a measurement line is finished you can carry straight on, as its endpoint becomes the start of the next line. That lets you measure a whole edge in sections without starting over each time. Escape ends the chain.

You can grab a complete side of a polygon and move it in parallel instead of dragging both corners separately. Available in the 2D plan and on facades in 3D.

Move a corner or a measurement line and everything attached to it follows: shared endpoints, points sitting in the middle of a line, and across several connected lines. The junction between roof and facade at the eaves holds too.

When drawing on a wall, lines now snap reliably to right angles and to the horizontal of that particular wall surface. The guides show the direction the next point will land in.

The shortcut overview in the app and the guide now show the same, complete list. Newly covered are the rectangle tool, moving whole sides and navigating the 3D model, among others.

When uploading, you now choose between 2D (a fast survey from the orthophoto), 3D Classic and 3D Alternative. Both 3D modes additionally generate an interactive 3D model and differ in the calculation method. If 3D Classic does not convince you, simply reprocess the session with 3D Alternative.

The automatic ground trim now detects the ground edge from the point density and removes hanging ground remnants beneath the building more reliably, without cutting into the building itself.

Individual images with faulty GPS coordinates are detected and corrected instead of distorting the entire model.

On particularly large orthophotos (over 8192 pixels edge length) measurements could be slightly offset. The scale is now computed uniformly across the full resolution.

The height from the ground line to the roof edge is now measured along the wall, no longer along the sloped roof line.

The sign-in token is cached during upload and refreshed automatically when needed. Uploads no longer abort with a token error.

In rare cases an image upload could stop partway through with a subscription notice. The subscription check now happens when you create a project and when you start processing, no longer for every single image.

Ground and surrounding remnants beneath the building are removed automatically, even on slopes. The model sits cleanly on its footprint without manual trimming.

The 3D model now loads in seconds instead of minutes thanks to optimised textures. The 2D view opens around ten times faster.

While cropping, a rubber band previews the next edge and the outline snaps to the starting point to close. The orthophoto and height map are cropped along with the model and reload automatically.

On roofs with both flat and pitched areas, every roof surface is now assessed individually. Swapped edge types and the resulting length errors are fixed.

After cropping, the height map shows exactly the same extent as the orthophoto, even after reloading the page.

The image no longer rotates while a polygon point is being dragged. Automatic alignment only kicks in after you release the point.

Cropped 3D models keep their photo textures. The grey, untextured model after cropping is a thing of the past.

If the page is reloaded while processing is running, the status display now shows the actual progress again instead of being stuck on “Starting”.
