What's New
4 months of improvements — built around how you actually work
Every update listed here is live today. From walking through your site in first-person, to highlighting cracks and surface damage with real-time edge detection, to getting clean PDFs out in one click — GodView keeps getting better where it matters most.
Smarter 3D Tools and Measurements
The 3D workspace just got a lot more powerful. You can now group placed objects, easily draw circular radius measurements, and manage clipping volumes intuitively with a new control banner.
- ▹ Object Grouping for better workspace organization
- ▹ New Circle feature for drawing and defining radius areas
- ▹ Easy-to-use control banner and modal for Clipping Volumes
- ▹ Smoother picking and moving of 3D objects with gizmo controls
A complete rework of the Marker system
Markers are now easier to organize and view. You can group them logically, and they cluster together more cleanly when zooming out to reduce visual clutter on the map.
- ▹ Organize your markers into distinct groups
- ▹ Significantly improved mobile and desktop detail views
- ▹ Smart clustering reduces visual clutter on the map when zooming out
See your team in real-time
Collaboration in GodView is now more interactive. Multiuser presence allows you to see other active users in the workspace, making it easier to understand what your team is looking at in real-time.
- ▹ Live Multiuser Presence (Inspect View)
- ▹ See where other users are currently looking
- ▹ Easier real-time collaboration with your team
More data, better stability
We've expanded our data import capabilities with new tools for Copernicus satellite data and improved the initial loading stability for the 3D Globe and Google Earth layers.
- ▹ New import tools and support for Copernicus satellite data
- ▹ Stabilized and optimized loading sequence for Google Earth and Globe layers
- ▹ Better support and bug fixes for DXF models, Pointclouds, and KML files
- ▹ Copernicus and KML layers no longer interfere with standard object selection
Faster, cleaner, and more storage
The interface has been streamlined for faster access to settings, and 3D rendering is now significantly optimized. Plus, you get a cleaner loading experience and increased storage options.
- ▹ "Globus" (Globe) settings moved to the "Maps and Models" tab for faster access
- ▹ Significant performance optimizations for 3D rendering
- ▹ Clean grey loading background and fixed starting camera positions
- ▹ Upgraded storage capacities, including new 1TB "Ultra" plans
- ▹ Download crash logs for quicker troubleshooting
The viewer got a lot smoother
Toggling between detail levels used to cause a brief stutter — especially on large photogrammetry models. That's gone. The platform now loads and unloads high-res content in the background so you never lose your flow.
- ▹ No more freeze when switching detail levels
- ▹ High-res content loads quietly in the background
- ▹ Point clouds look sharper and more distinct
- ▹ Smoother experience on large scenes overall
More robust than ever
A number of edge cases that could cause the app to freeze, show a blank screen, or lose your settings have been tracked down and fixed. You can work confidently on complex scenes without unexpected interruptions.
- ▹ No more unexpected freezes in heavy scenes
- ▹ Multi-user sessions are more stable
- ▹ Your org settings always save and reload correctly
- ▹ Background sync is more reliable under load
A faster, more responsive platform
We restructured the core of the viewer in a major overhaul. You won't see it directly — but you'll feel it. The interface is snappier, settings apply instantly, and new features can be delivered faster without breaking what already works.
- ▹ Camera controls feel more immediate
- ▹ Settings apply without needing a reload
- ▹ New features ship faster with less risk
- ▹ More test coverage means fewer surprises
Your photos cluster smarter
When you have hundreds of site photos, they now group together as you zoom out and spread apart naturally as you zoom in. You're always looking at the right level of detail — no clutter, no missed photos hiding behind a cluster.
- ▹ Individual photos stay visible much closer in
- ▹ Turn clustering on or off per project
- ▹ Camera orientation arrows stay accurate at all zoom levels
Measurements that stay where you put them
Measurement lines now display correctly in front of and behind structures — no more disappearing behind walls. The inspection view has been refined with better photo grouping and clear labels so you never mix up your readings.
- ▹ Measurement lines no longer hide behind models
- ▹ Photos organized into logical groups
- ▹ Unique names prevent confusion between readings
- ▹ Cleaner, easier navigation through inspection records
Your team, your rules
Admins now have clearer, more reliable control over who can see and do what. Add and remove team members with confidence, and know that their access resets properly. If something goes wrong, the system logs it automatically.
- ▹ Tighter, more consistent role permissions
- ▹ Add and remove organisation members reliably
- ▹ Account recovery if someone is removed by mistake
- ▹ Issues are automatically logged for faster support
Walk through your site from anywhere
Activate Panorama Mode and navigate your digital twin on foot — just like walking the real site. Use WASD keys (or arrow keys) to move through the model at eye level. Layer in Google Earth for full geographic context, with a reliable on/off toggle.
- ▹ Walk through any model in first-person view
- ▹ Google Earth 3D context, always in sync with your scene
- ▹ Consistent movement speed on any hardware
- ▹ Works in both 3D and top-down view
Place, move and slice in 3D
Grab any tileset or 3D object and reposition it visually — no coordinate guesswork. Snap it into place, then slice through the model to check what's inside. Place cranes, vehicles, or structures in the scene and save them for the whole team to see.
- ▹ Drag and drop any object into position visually
- ▹ Snap objects precisely to where they belong
- ▹ Slice through the model to reveal internal structures
- ▹ Place equipment your whole team sees automatically
Surface damage made visible in real time
A real-time GPU shader highlights contrast edges and surface boundaries directly over your 3D model as you inspect it. Cracks, joints, and material transitions that are easy to overlook stand out immediately — no manual photo-by-photo scanning needed. Models also stream in clean and complete, without gaps or flickering overlaps.
- ▹ Edge-detection shader highlights cracks and surface boundaries in real time
- ▹ Toggle the effect on/off without leaving the viewer
- ▹ No more tile gaps or surface flickering while streaming
- ▹ Background and globe settings behave predictably
A great experience on phones & tablets
Whether you're reviewing plans on an iPad or uploading site photos from your iPhone, everything now feels natural. Pinch-to-zoom, panning, and rotation respond the way you'd expect, and photos show up as proper previews everywhere.
- ▹ Pinch-to-zoom works naturally on all iOS devices
- ▹ Smooth panning in the top-down view
- ▹ Photo thumbnails display correctly on every device
- ▹ Easier sign-in and registration on small screens
From model to report in one click
Generate a clean PDF of your measurements and inspection notes with one click. Bring your own machinery — cranes, vehicles, fencing — as 3D models into the scene and position them exactly where they'll be on site.
- ▹ One-click PDF export of inspection reports
- ▹ Drag in any 3D model (GLB) to place it in the scene
- ▹ Save a default camera view for your whole team
- ▹ Cleaner visuals right out of the box
Plan from above, then dive in
A fully redesigned top-down view lets you pan smoothly, zoom in and out, draw areas, and get a bird's-eye overview of any site. Switch back to 3D with a click. Your preferences and settings are saved automatically between sessions.
- ▹ Smooth panning and zooming from above
- ▹ Draw and measure areas in the top-down view
- ▹ Your settings are remembered between sessions
- ▹ Clean transitions when switching between views
