Project-specific unit system overrides

Thanks to some of our Canadian pilots, we were alerted to the need for flexibility regarding unit system on a per-project basis. You can now set a project unit system that deviates from your org defaults.
  1. When creating a new project, scroll down and expand the “optional fields” section to set an override
  2. For already-created projects, you can change the unit system in the takeoff view in the ellipsis menu next to the project name
  3. You can also change the unit system on the project information page inside the “project unit system” cell in the “info” grid.

​
Reporting updates (Pages and Filtered table data)

New report organization tools have landed for your immediate use.
  • A new add page button in the “Create report” modal lets you add new pages to your report. In a PDF export, a “page” will be an actual separate PDF “page”. In an Excel export, a “page” will be a new “tab” (called “sheet” in Excel). Use this to organize your report content in separate pages as you see fit.
  • A new filter zone tool in the “Create report” modal lets you a special block that filters all other tables inside of it based on a given rule. For example, you can add a “sheet” filter zone that will filter down all items in a ductwork table to a specific sheet on your takeoff. You can add a “group” or “system” filter zone that will similarly filter items. Use this to segment your reports by different groupings for more targeted report sections.

​
Takeoff previews in project thumbnails

As your number of projects grow, we added a feature that shows a real screenshot representation of your takeoff in the project thumbnails on the “Projects” page. See actual colors and takeoff geometry in the screenshot from wherever the last user left off, giving you better visual context about the takeoff contents of the project.

​
Assembly attachments

Previously, we only allowed Assemblies to be placed as their own individual objects on your sheets. We updated the Assemblies feature with the ability to be “attached” to an equipment or distribution item, and inferred in your takeoff based on that attachment. For example, instead of having a diffuser assembly that needed to contain an actual diffuser takeoff object, you can now simply create a generic diffuser assembly with only supplemental parts that you attach to a diffuser object via the inspector box. There is a new “Attached assembly” cell in the inspector bar for this purpose.We’re working on adding a simple way to attach assemblies during SymbolSight workflow for even faster takeoff.

​
More changes

  • fixed issue with missing delete key handling on windows keyboards
  • allow shift-click on canvas for multi-selecting takeoff objects
  • fixed issue where oval transitions were appearing as a thin line in the takeoff view
  • fixed issue where lengths for flex ducts were being calculated from start and end point instead of drawn path
  • add re-ordering support for custom project fields

Eccentric Transition support

We’ve added a few improvements to the user experience of taking off transitions. During takeoff, when we detect you are transitioning from one dimension to another, you now activate a “transition” draw mode. This mode brings with it a few new features:
  • we now render the dotted “guide lines” of the shape as a trapezoid in the real shape of the transition to scale.
  • we added a new “alignment” metadata that allows you to define the “flat side” of an eccentric transition.
  • you can automatically switch between left/right alignment for horizontally offset eccentric transitions at draw-time by moving your mouse slightly offset from the previous centerline when taking off a transition.

​
Custom Project Fields

Custom fields for projects are now live. In addition to the Canaveral defaults, you can now add org-level custom fields for capturing unique data on all of your Canaveral projects. Choose from any of the following field types:
  • text
  • number
  • Canaveral user
  • date
  • single select
  • multi select
  • URL

​
Slash dimensions in QuickDraw

We’ve improved detection of dimensions with a slash when using QuickDraw (e.g. “30/20”). We’ve observed some plans where slashes denote oval dimensions, while others denote rectangular dimensions. To mitigate this ambiguity, we will present both the oval & rectangular dimension predictions in QuickDraw for selection when a “slash” dimension is detected.

​
Editable elbow radii

Previously, updating the elbow radius of an already-placed item would update the elbow piece itself but would not re-align the connecting duct/pipe pieces along with it. We’ve fixed that. Now, when you update the elbow radius of an existing item, we will automatically adjust the lengths of the connecting items to match the expected connection points based off of the elbows new geometry.

​
Other fixes and changes:

  • Fixed issue with Piping report tables where resolved Parts from the Parts database did not appear
  • Fixed Auto-branch feature when taking off pipe (defaults to tees)
  • Fixed issue where project page sorting by “last updated” was not working correctly
  • Fixed issue where user had to hit “Q” twice for quickdraw items to appear
  • Add new icon illustrations for Pipe-related objects
  • Added duct-hanger-related implicit items to reports

​
Resizable Panels

You can now increase & decrease the height of various panels in the Takeoff view, specifically the Inspector, Symbols, and Takeoff panels. Adjustments will be saved on a per-project basis and will persist on your local machine

​
”Library” renamed to Database, Price Book now available in main dashboard sidebar.

We received feedback that “Library” was too vague of a term, so we renamed this page to “Database”, which better describes the Parts & Assemblies data it houses. This will also be the home of an upcoming “Custom Objects” feature where users will be able to define custom objects for placement in takeoff and assembly definitions. “Database” will be your one-stop shop for all takeoff-object-data-related configuration in Canaveral.

​
End with Cap feature added to QuickDraw

When placing a run of duct while using the draw tool, holding Q for QuickDraw will now surface an “End with Cap” selection that, upon clicking, automatically inserts a duct end cap takeoff object in the position of your cursor when you first hit the Q trigger shortcut.

​
Duct Reinforcement Tie Rods Standards

Our standards correction engine now recognizes and updates Tie rod related metadata when conditions are met. Driven by SMACNA standards, certain dimensions & gauges may trigger Joint Tie Rod and Center Tie Rod metadata values.

​
Other fixes and updates:

  • Added shift + click for multi-selecting objects in the object sidebar section
  • Added search to Parts Database tab
  • Fixed issue with tie rod items missing in reports
  • Fixed issue where auto-scaling was not working for some uploads
  • Fixed issue where pipes were not respecting material grouping in reports
  • Fixed issue where vertical stacks were overcounting duct totals in reports

​
Added support for Linear Slot Diffusers

Linear Slot Diffusers now selectable in the type selector in the Inspector. SymbolSight will now attempt to detect Linear Slot Diffusers

​
User preference for Panning

You can now choose between middle mouse click and right mouse click for panning on the takeoff page. Change setting at User Settings > Controls

​
Bug Fixes

  • Fixed issue with Google Address autocomplete being locked to US regions only
  • Fixed issue that allowed projects to be created with no takeoff pages selected
  • Fixed issue that double-counted duct lengths in vertical stacks during takeoff report.
  • Fixed issue where vertical stacks appeared with 0 width after placement
