Product Updates

Web:

• New and improved view-cone! Based on your zoom level, the cone will narrow (zoomed in, smaller field of view) or widen (zoomed out, bigger field of view) to assist with better correlating the drawing to what you’re seeing!

• Ability to remove blurry frames from VideoWalks (automatic blurry frame removal coming soon)

iOS:

• Ability to Filter VideoWalks now works on mobile. Actually, you can filter by any media type now via a toggle on/off, to be more consistent with the web

  • Infrastructure improvements for downstream sprints (optimization of admin panel reliability)
  • Fixed bug where sample projects weren’t showing up for new signups

iOS:

• Added a two step “stop” workflow for videowalk, so that you first stop the video, THEN define the end position of your walk. Provides for a more streamlined experience!
• Major optimizations with VideoWalk workflow and interactions with the Garmin VIRB camera (checking firmware, ensuring the right videos are being uploaded, issues related to switching between photos and videos, ensuring stability, etc.)
• Ability to share a videowalk frame
• Attempted for the Gear360 2016 (still ongoing)

Web:

• 360 photos and standard photos now cluster based on zoom! This allows for a cleaner and smoother experience when viewing drawings with a large number of photos.
• You can now add clickable hyperlinks within 360 photos/standard photos/VideoWalk frames by Windows+ALT clicking anywhere within a photo. Use this workflow to quickly add a link to a training video, PDF submittal/equipment maintenance manual, etc.!
• You can now edit hotspots you’ve created by SHIFT-clicking on an existing hotspot, in order to move/remove them.

iOS:

• New VideoWalk mobile workflow! Connect your VIRB and produce VideoWalks by giving the app a start/end location. No need to plug your camera into your computer anymore!

Web:

• Inter-hotspot jumping on web! Ability to add hotspots between any 2 types of media (360 video frame, 360 photo, standard photo) by holding SHIFT and clicking while viewing a photo
• You can now upload Timelapse videos for VideoWalk! These videos are much smaller in file size while achieving similar results. Best if you set the timer to 0.5 seconds
• For videowalk path fixing – Ability to lock nodes (hold command) and adjust nodes much more easily, to help eliminate drift in videowalk path
• Side-by-Side videowalk frame against any 360 photo (including Navisworks imported photos)
• Full mini-map controls on VideoWalk frame
• Fixed a bug where a user could not use offline export if the project has any progress photos
