• You can now track number of VideoWalks on a drawing or a project, similar to how you can track standard and 360 photos.
• You can now filter photos/videos by user more efficiently, by selecting from a list from those who actually took photos, rather than a comprehensive team list -Fixed an issue where a new project created by an enterprise administrator is not immediately visible by that enterprise admin’s dashboard
• Fixed a bug when using the VideoWalk split view feature, where changing the date of one walk changed the wrong screen
• Various improvements to VideoWalk pipeline to ensure faster delivery of VideoWalks

Web:

• VideoWalk frame auto-progress. When you view a VideoWalk frame, and there was another videowalk taken at a different time that has a node close by (approximately 5 feet), it’ll automatically show up in the timeline (similar to if there were progress photos), with the corresponding dates. When clicking split view, it will automatically load the frame. Basically it works similar to progress photos now. More updates to this to come
• VideoWalk frames now instant-load (progressive tile loading) similar to 360 photos. Important for slower connections/remote jobsites
• When transitioning around a VideoWalk via hotspots, the mini-map now re-centers based on your current location
• Added ability to rotate the direction of a directional pin on the web after-the-fact.
• Fixed a bug related to Procore RFI’s and Observations not showing up or being able to get created for some people
• Fixed bug in text in project invitation emails where it didn’t list the actual user’s name
• Fixed bug related to split view of VideoWalks not syncing rotation correctly
• Tons of other internal bug fixes and optimizations
• Walks are now no longer shown to users unless our AI/Computer Vision back-end processing has both fully aligned the videowalk to the drawing, and blurry frames removed
• Highly stabilized the Procore photo sync issues; requires logging out and logging back in to StructionSite using your Procore account to fix it
• Unsubscribe links in emails fixed
