A Few More Things We Snuck In…

We’ve been listening. Building. Smoothing out the edges.

These are the little updates that make everyday modeling feel better: snappier, more intuitive, and a lot less annoying. From sloped setbacks to color legends that actually explain themselves, here’s what’s new.

Quick checks, no view-switching.

📏 Measure Tool in Floor Plans

You’ve had the measure tool in 3D for a while. Now it works in plan view too—so you can stay focused, stay fast, and stop bouncing between views just to confirm a distance.

Color without context? Not anymore.

🎨 Drop-in Legends

Now you can add legends directly to your boards—even without a metrics chart.

  • Choose what shows (functions, area types, etc.)
  • Filter what matters
  • Format it to match your document style

So when someone asks what “yellow” means, you’ve already answered.

Sloped envelopes. Stacked setbacks. Fewer clicks.

🏗 Smarter Site Boundaries

We gave site massing a proper tune-up. Now you’ll find:

  • Sloped envelopes (especially handy in APAC)
  • Stacked setbacks that play nicely
  • Default setback logic baked in
  • Drag-to-edit edges with temporary dims
  • A toggle to show/hide the envelope (no more opacity fiddling)

And yes, setbacks now actually reflect max heights. Color them how you want. Understand them at a glance.

🌀 Zoom + Orbit at Cursor

Now when you zoom and orbit, the camera follows your cursor, not the model center. It’s a small shift that makes a big difference, especially when you’re working deep in the weeds.

All of this came from your feedback.

Keep it coming. We’re always listening and always building toward smoother, saner design days.
