Upgrade to Field Notes: We’ve rolled out a significant upgrade to the Field Notes experience on desktop. You’ll see a new, more intuitive list view, plus the following enhancements:

Updates to the URL in the 360° pano viewer: When navigating through the 360° pano viewer, the URL will now dynamically update to reflect your current location, camera orientation, and view state. This means you can simply copy the URL and send it to a team member so they can see exactly what’s on your screen.

Deleting Timelapse Videos: You can now delete Timelapse Videos from the Timelapse videos screen. For more information, including permission requirements, please see our Support article.

Delete captures with errors: Along with other 360 captures, you can now also delete captures with errors. See our Support article for details on deleting captures, including required permission levels.

Improved usability for Field Notes: Viewing and creating Field Notes in the Sheets view on mobile is now easier and more intuitive. You can toggle to the Field Notes tab and pan across the sheet to find and view the Field Note you want. To create a new Field Note, tap the camera icon to select your location and take a photo.

Support phone numbers: Easily get in touch with Support by opening the Settings page. At the top you’ll see the contact number for our Support team in your region.

User interface improvement for uploading multiple captures: We added a Next sheet button, making it more clear that you can capture multiple floors before transferring your captures to OpenSpace in just one step.

Heat Notes: We have removed the Heat Notes feature. However, if you have thermal images from a different program, you easily attach them to a Field Note in OpenSpace.

Delete users in bulk: Org Admins can now bulk delete users from the Team Management page. Find details in this Support article.

New multi-integration linking: You can now sync your OpenSpace projects simultaneously across Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), BIM 360, PlanGrid, and Revizto. Import your sheets and users from Procore and export your Field Notes from OpenSpace to BIM 360 and ACC. If you have OpenSpace BIM+, you can import models from ACC and export Field Notes to Revizto as Issues, while also leveraging Procore for importing sheets and users. Find details on integrations on our Support site.

OpenSpace BIM+ improvements:

Improvements to the help bar: We’ve upgraded your online help experience in the help bar. From the “?” icon, you can search for answers to your questions in our Support help articles, access on-demand courses in the OpenSpace Academy, start an online chat with Support, and jump to the latest Release Notes.

Insta360 X4: After extensive testing including Beta tester feedback, the Insta360 X4 camera is now fully supported in OpenSpace, including integration with QuickConnect to link the camera to your mobile via our app. This camera has advanced HDR capabilities that produce high-quality images including in low-light environments. Get details on supported 360° cameras in this article.

Language support updates: Traditional Chinese is now supported on web and in mobile. Find details on changing your language in this Support article.

Upload your 360° captures without an app: You now have the option to upload your 360° video captures through the website without installing an app (important if your IT protocols prevent you from installing new applications). With this new functionality, you can retrieve your files from your camera or an SD card reader and directly upload on the web. Find instructions here.

Field Note PDF reports reduced in size: Your Field Notes PDF reports are now 20x smaller. Also, you can choose to change the default settings to include full resolution images—even in that case, reports are also reduced in size.

Update to Zones: When you start a 360 capture or when you create a Field Note outside a 360 capture, you can now see Zones display on your sheets making it easier for you to associate a capture or a Field Note to a specific area or room on your project.

Models in OpenSpace BIM+: You’ll now be notified when a new version of a model is available for download.

Enhancements to navigating your projects: You can now get to your images by sheets in our mobile project browser; use the time slider to jump to different points in time; get to what you want to view with the location slider or by dragging and panning across the floor plan.

Delete your own 360 video captures: If you need to delete a 360 video capture, you no longer need to make a request from our Support team. Saving you time, OpenSpace Admins can now delete captures from a project on their own. For more details, please see our Support article.

Timelapse videos: You now have new privacy settings for timelapse videos. Users with editor permissions can change the privacy for videos they created, Admins can change the privacy for all videos, and users with viewer-only permissions cannot change privacy. Plus, use the new Timelapses button in the navigation to access a list of all your videos. Find instructions here.

Field Notes PDF reports: A recent enhancement to our Field Notes PDF report on the web is now available in the OpenSpace mobile app—you can now include attachments (which encompasses additional photos you’ve added to your notes) and comments in your reports. This upgrade enables you to share the complete context of your Field Notes. If you prefer to not include comments and attachments, simply uncheck the box.

Simplified project creation flow: We’ve simplified the steps to create a project on mobile, saving you time in the field—you now only need to enter a name and a location for your new project.

Import users and sheets from Procore: We’ve released two big time-saving enhancements for organizations using Procore—you can now import Procore users and sheets to OpenSpace projects. When you're logged into Procore, and are adding members to an OpenSpace project, you'll see a new "Invite from Procore" button. Users will be imported with Viewer permissions. Conveniently add sheets to OpenSpace that you’ve already uploaded in Procore’s Drawing Tool. Get more details in our Support articles: Import Users from Procore and Import Sheets from Procore.

Copy Zones across floors: As part of our continuing work to enhance the use of Zones in OpenSpace, we’ve added the ability to copy Zones you’ve defined for one sheet to one or multiple sheets at one time in a project. This will be a significant time savings if your project has many floors with the same layout. For details on setting up Zones for use with Field Notes, refer to this Support article.

New bottom navigation: Get to where you want to go faster with new bottom tab navigation in the mobile app: you’ll find icons for home, sheets, Field Notes, and settings.

Updates in the Field Notes “Details” tab:

Project view improvement: To make it easier to tap and access the settings icon and the three-line icon at the top of the project home page (especially if you’re using a small mobile device), we increased the space around those buttons.

Field Notes assignee: Once you assign someone to a Field Note, that person will now automatically be added as a watcher.

Project home screen: The new project home screen now includes at-a-glance options to get to the most relevant information for your project: active sheets, latest captures, and most recent Field Notes. Learn more in our Support Article.

Self-serve onboarding: Previously rolled out for OpenSpace Admins, self-serve onboarding is now available for all OpenSpace users. Learn how to use OpenSpace on your own time with this online tool. (Find additional learning opportunities in OpenSpace Academy.)

Long model names: When uploading models, long file names were previously cut off. Now, you’ll see ellipses and you can hover over the name to see the full long file name.

BIM Element Overlay: We’ve fixed the Z height offset issue when overlaying a model element onto the image side of the viewer. (Learn more about BIM Element Overlay in OpenSpace BIM+.)

BIM model flickering: Flickering on parts of models in the BIM viewer has been resolved.

Editing Zones: For a better experience, we made an update so that you can now pan while editing an existing Zone.

Uploading a new model: When you upload a new model file in an empty project, the file name now displays on-screen, and is available to access, as soon as your upload starts.

Field Notes comments: Previously, if you deleted a user, comments that user added to Field Notes were not accessible. Our latest update resolved that issue, making the comments available.

UI standardization for capture flow: We’ve standardized the elements you see during the capture flow—the arrangement, color, and size of text, images, progress bar, etc.—for a more uniform, eye-pleasing experience.

Field Notes updates and fixes in the mobile app:

Zones in Field Notes: Our first rollout of Zones in OpenSpace is with Field Notes. You can create Zones that match any area on your project that you want to track, and OpenSpace automatically tags your notes by the Zones they’re in, making it easy to filter your Field Notes. Learn more in our Support article.

Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) Build: Our Field Notes integration with ACC Build is now available for everyone. If you use ACC Build, you can link your OpenSpace Field Notes to existing (or create new) RFIs and Issues. Find more information in our Support article.

BIM Element Overlay: Based on user feedback, we’ve rolled out a number of updates to improve the user interface for BIM Element Overlay. For better visibility, every time you hover on an object, the object will be highlighted. Plus we added an opacity slider for the overlaid elements. The toolbar now adapts to small screens and you can minimize the toolbar. In addition, you can now select and clear individual objects. (Learn more about how to use BIM Element Overlay in OpenSpace BIM+.)

Field Notes reports: Generate a Field Notes PDF report directly from your Field Notes home page with the new Export button.

Timelapse videos: When you create a timelapse video, you can now give it a name.

Mini map: When you click the pull-down menu on the mini map, your current location is now highlighted in the list for easier navigation.

New member confirmation: When you add a new member to a project or capture, you’ll now receive a confirmation message on-screen so you’ll know your addition was a success.

Loading sheets: When you select a sheet to load from the drop-down list, we’ve updated the interface to make it more obvious that the sheet is loading.

Field Notes count: View your Field Notes during a capture easily with the new status at the bottom of the screen—you’ll see the number of Field Notes and a preview of images. Tap the Field Notes count to head to a gallery view of your Field Note images.

Updating Field Notes to “Closed”: Users with editor permissions can now change the status of Field Notes created by another user to "Closed."

Field Notes “No Status” fix: Previously, the Field Notes detail screen was showing “No Status” for closed Field Notes. The screen now accurately displays the “Closed” status.

Sheet view during a capture: If you tap the sheet during a capture you are now taken to a full-screen view of the sheet where you can pan and zoom. Easily return to the in-capture view.

Ricoh Theta Z1: We now support high-compression format for Ricoh Theta Z1 camera. File sizes are reduced by half, resulting in faster upload times.

Some tweaks to the BIM Compare experience that should improve lagging issues for newly-uploaded models and general usability for all models.
