Product Updates

Web:

• VideoWalks now get exported via PDF, just like the photos
• Flat videos now work correctly when viewing on the web
• Rest of the updates focused on some internal work
  • Steps to try to fix ProCore (still in progress)
  • Hoffman import of photos (to satisfy enterprise agreement requirements)
  • 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)
• Automatically check to make sure you have enough storage on your mobile device before taking photos

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
•  Videowalk path UI refined – the lines connecting the nodes don’t show up unless selected or editing, to help make things look cleaner. More refinements to come

Web:

• Support for GovCloud. Request to have your sensitive project data stored on GovCloud for your federal projects that require extra-high security and FEDRamp compliance.
• Generate a public link to allow for access to projects to view photos and videowalks without needing to log in
• Major improvements to VideoWalk – see frame meta-data, split-view comparison against other walks taken at different times, more path editing options for greater accuracy, live chat, RFI’s/Observations, link to a frame, and many more!
• Ability to upload a profile images, for some added flair to your StructionSite experience!
• Drop-down menu to switch drawings should now load very quickly for very large projects
• Enhanced security option to prevent sharing/downloading of data by non-adminsitrators
•  Fixed bug that preventing deleting of drawings/projects in certain casesiOS:
• Upload profile images
• SSO login option via OpenID for certain users
• Fixed bug that prevented proper use of bulk-import of photos via GPS fence for certain users
• Photos continue to sync when you put the app into the background for a period of time
• Memory and stability optimizations

Web:

• Added ability to combine pins, for when you accidentally add new photos instead of leveraging the progress mode on mobile when capturing photos
• Individual Lite-plan users can now access the tagging feature, as opposed to only project users
• As VideoWalks are added, start/end positions are shown
• VideoWalk paths now have a better look that is consistent with StructionSite’s design theme
• VideoWalk paths now have individual nodes of where images are placed
• Compass orientation (relative to project north) is now displayed as you are looking around the frame!
• automated creation of inter-hotspots for VideoWalk improvediOS:
• Added some measures to mitigate the issue of photos not syncing properly, especially in the case of low storage capacity.
• Added the abilility to “recover” photos from the 360 camera when sync goes wrong
• App will continue syncing in the background for a period of time when minimized
• Warning will be given if you try to take photos and your phone is close or at max capacity
• Fixed split view bug which caused the current image to get de-selected
• When project-level sharing/download is disabled, you will no longer be able to share links (for enhanced security on sensitive projects)

Web:

• You can now load very large projects or many projects with no issue
• Bug where the Mini-map disappeared when you clicked other pins is fixed
• Bug where when you click on a pin and the drawing jumps around is fixed
• Bug where deep links to photos or notes just took you to the drawing instead of the actual photo/note is fixed
• Logic for moving and deleting pins/photos has been refined. Admins can do everything. Collaborators can only move/delete their own pins, and view-only can’t alter anything. Collaborators can only move/delete a pin if they were the first one to have captured an image on it, if there is a combination of users who’ve contributed to that pin
• A pop-up notification for web saying VideoWalk upload is successful is now shown
• VideoWalk inter-hotspot jumping is now accurately mapped
• VideoWalk bug that caused the path to jump to the “save” button while editing the path is now fixed
• VideoWalk path is “pre-flipped” to ensure a high likelihood that videowalks uploaded are correctly flipped/oriented upon initial processing

iOS:

• HDR mode now activate-able for Ricoh Theta cameras. Go to settings and turn it on. Pictures will come out much better and handle lighting better. But photo capture process will take a bit longer
• Support for the Insta360 One camera (7K photos, compared to Ricoh Theta’s 5K photos). Camera must be physically connected to phone (directly or via extension)
• Restriction of sharing photos if it’s been restricted on the project level (from web), for security purposes
• Stronger performance for projects with many drawings
• Many stabilizations to prevent app from crashing
