Product Updates

We house our updates here to keep you informed. Please email [email protected] with any questions about any of these updates, or suggestions on what we should work on.

UPDATE 11.12.2017

 Web Updates:

  • You can now add drawings from Egnyte or ProCore, and any changes that occur to those drawings will seamlessly slipsheet within the StructionSite app to ensure photos are being captured on the latest drawings!
  • You can now sign up or login using your BIM 360 credentials, without having to memorize a separate login
  • Offline Deliverable has been refined to include in the ZIP files relative-hyperlinked PDFs (to work 100% offline) which will link directly to photos within the same folder, and a special PDFs to allow you to quickly browse PINs that have many progress photos on them
  • Fixed bug that prevented uploading of photo files (JPG, PNG) as drawings
  • Fixed a bug where sometimes when you export a PDF, it’s rotated and cropped

iOS Updates:

  • Now when you reply to a note, you can @ mention someone. You type @, and it’ll pull up a list of collaborators in the project. When you @ mention someone, yourself as well as that other person will receive an email if there is anyone else that responds to that note
  • iOS notifications when someone replies to a note (slack-style). When a note you’ve subscribed to is responded to, you’ll get a notification with what the message says on your iOS device. When you tap on the notification, it’ll take you right to that photo and orient you towards that note, so you can see the context and quickly reply to it
  • Ability to share a note – you can take any note and generate a hyperlink that can be texted or emailed. If that note is opened on an iOS device, then it’ll automatically take the user to that note within the photo in the StructionSite app without having to navigate there on their own. Note this works on iOS only, not web yet
  • Tap/hold to move a pin that hasn’t yet been synced, in case you’ve made a mistake in the placement of that PIN
  • Fixed bug where swapping between landscape and portrait mode resulted in the photo position jumping to a different spot
  • Fixed a bug where tapping on the live preview of a standard photo just took the photo instead of expanding the live preview

UPDATE 10.09.2017

 Web Updates:

  •  You can now do split-view comparison on standard photos!
  • You can now add notes to standard photos (note: iOS does not have this ability yet, but should have it soon)
  • Changed the behavior of publicly encrypted links to PINs generated from PDF where it would take you to the earliest photo taken at that spot, not latest. Now, it’ll take you to the latest photo.
  • Added ability to sign-up and login using existing ProCore credentials
  • Fixed bug where drawings were not being ordered alphanumerically

 iOS Updates:

  • Added support for the Garmin VIRB 360 and NCTech Iris 360 cameras
  • When you try to sync a project and there’s no internet, user will receive an error message telling the user to get some internet
  • Fixed a bug where a photo would fail to sync if you close the app/put it into the background while syncing

UPDATE 09.26.2017

 Web Updates:

  • Faster viewing of 360 photos (because now we utilize multiple secure datacenters local to the user, vs before it was only in California)
  • Public hyperlinks to photos now has timeline navigation view for paid projects
  • Dedicated move button now makes it easier and more intuitive to move pins, and now can’t be “accidentally moved” when panning a floorplan
  • If user is part of any project that is paid, their account page will list them as part of a “Project Team Plan” instead of being an expired individual user
  • Last updated on project and drawings is now based on last photo added, so it’s more intuitive
  • Additional filters, such as filter by user or quickly filter based on last 7 days, 30 days, this week, etc.
  • All relevant photo meta-data (file name, project, drawing, date taken, etc.) is now easily viewable via publicly-encrypted share links
  • Added ability for zooming/panning on standard photos

 iOS Updates:

  • Added ability to generate sharable links for easy emailing or texting
  • Added ability to add photos to new or existing pins from your camera roll, in case you didn’t use StructionSite to take your photos on-site
  • New slide-out menu buttons allow you access to quick sharing, deleting, or adding of photos
  • Added ability to rotate a standard photo by tapping on rotational buttons where the photo will be placed (if you have fat fingers, then you’ll love this feature)
  • Added the ability to create and manage projects/drawings from mobile (note: drawings must be photos from either your camera roll, or a picture that you take)
  • Added an onboarding screen to assist new users with how to get the most out of StructionSite
  • The “updated date” for projects and drawings now (more intuitively) reflects the last time a photo was taken on that project or drawing
