The new Coverage Heatmap feature enables tracking trends in capture coverage by date and level, ensuring optimized site capture programs for maximum insights. Heatmaps provide a clear and comprehensive depiction of site capture trends, offering project managers, VDC teams, and executives comprehensive insights.

You can access this feature in the 'Captures' tab of the Project Admin Center. Please note that members without access to the Project Admin Center will not be able to use this feature.

3D Dollhouses can now be visualized in fully textured 3D mesh mode. Exportable formats include OBJ and GLB for use with Revit, Navisworks, Revizto, and other downstream applications.

3D Dollhouse's view modes (Textured Mesh, Colored Points, Elevation Heatmap) can be selected from the Plan Viewer.

The Cupix TwinCapture OmniNote feature allows you to capture photos or record voice memos on your mobile phone while taking 360° video walks.  

Benefits of using OmniNotes?

• 3D geotagged high-res photos & voice memos: Automatically linked with your 360° video walk path for location context.
• Multiple viewing options for easy access: Check notes on a map, in 3D virtual exploration, or view all in a list.
• Detailed as-built site documentation: High-resolution photos provide finer detail than standard 360° video images, ideal for recording essential visual information.
• Automatic Text Extraction from PhotoNotes and Voice Transcription from VoiceNotes providing the ability to index and search.

For more information on creating photo notes and voice notes, please refer to the user guide ('OmniNote') available on the Support Center.

If poor lighting is making it too dark to see, the new 'Brighten Up' function will automatically enhance the brightness of panoramic images. You can find the button in the top-right menu bar of SiteView's Capture Viewer.

Once activated, this adjustment applies to all panoramic images within SiteView, regardless of their level or capture date. So, if it becomes too bright, don't forget to turn the function off.

We've introduced a new Member Role called the SiteView Observer. This role grants users restricted View-only access to shared SiteViews, without the ability to Create or Edit. Here's a breakdown of what SiteView Observers can and cannot do:

SiteView Observer can:

• Open and navigate SiteView
• View annotations, comments, attachments, and measurements
• Observers can measure but measurements cannot be saved.

SiteView Observer cannot:

• Add or edit annotations, comments, attachments, and measurements
• Download annotation attachments
• Generate timeline report

We've enhanced the usability and clarity of the SiteInsights Dashboard. We've relocated filters and menus to more prominent locations, making it effortless to access your desired data. Moreover, we've introduced tooltips to provide explanations for key terms, simplifying your data understanding.

SiteInsights Overview Page

1. Page Selection Tabs: We've relocated the SiteInsight Overview and Completion Details tabs to the top, making it simpler for you to switch between pages.
2. Top Menu Bar and Filters: We've reorganized the top menu bar and filter placement, ensuring a more intuitive and efficient navigation experience.
3. Tooltips: We've added descriptive tooltips that pop up when you hover your mouse over question marks next to key terms, making it easier for you to understand the meanings.
4. Overview Banner: The Overview is now presented in a prominent banner format, providing you with a quick and clear snapshot of the important information.

Completion Details Page

1. Reality Check Toggle: We've moved the Reality Check toggle, previously located in the table header, to the top bar, making it more accessible and user-friendly.
2. Level Selector: We've introduced a level selector in the primary Capture viewer, allowing you to conveniently choose your desired level.

Discover the newly updated SiteInsights Dashboard. The new SiteInsights Dashboard will provide Overview and Completion Details pages, granting you a quick overview of project advancement or the opportunity to delve into specific category developments using synchronized BIM models. 

Overview Page

The Overview page provides a clearer snapshot of project progress. Benefit from refined representations of overall advancement—presented as percentages or quantities within subcategories. This improvement ensures a comprehensive understanding of project development.

1. Completed Quantities: You can view the accumulated progress for the specified date, level, and category from the Dashboard Settings (④) on the right.
2. Completed Quantities per Subcategories: You can view each category's accumulated progress for the specified date, level, and category.
3. Completion Progress: You can view the selected category's completion progress for the specified date and level.
4. Dashboard Settings: You can specify the date, level, and category for the completed quantity and progress from here.

Completion Details Page

The Completion Details page provides a comprehensive view of category progress based on status and phase. Moreover, the new Reality Check feature assists you in gaining a deeper understanding of specific category advancements by utilizing color-coded BIM models synchronized with the Capture Viewer.

1. Reality Check: Color-coded BIM synchronized with Capture Viewer can be displayed by turning the 'Reality Check' toggle on.
2. List of Color-coded BIM Objects by Status: The progress of each category based on 'Status' or 'Phase' can be viewed. 
3. Filters: When the BIM is color-coded according to status, you can filter the display based on three different statuses: Completed, On-going, and Not Started. 

The capturing process has been streamlined into just two steps: ①Start Video Walk and ②Stop Video Walk. There's no longer a need for ③marking the final position.

Other Cupix Capture Lite Updates

• Auto Camera Scan

DepthPick™ is a unique point-picking approach developed by Cupix. This feature enables you to effortlessly select 3D Coordinates within a 360° panoramic image with just a single click. Unlike the previous Stereo-matching method, DepthPick™ allows a seamless selection of 3D Coordinates on edges or corners, even on flat surfaces lacking distinct patterns or textures. By rendering the process of selecting 3D coordinates more user-friendly and intuitive, DepthPick™ enhances the overall usability of functions that demand 3D coordinate selection, such as dimension measuring.

How and When to Use DepthPick™ 

Using DepthPick™ is simple. If a Capture has a 3D Dollhouse in it, all you need to do is click on the desired spot, and the correlated 3D Coordinate will be automatically selected by Cupix AI.

However, if there is no Dollhouse or if the Dollhouse exists but there is insufficient geometry at the selected point, the Stereo-matching method will be initiated for point picking.

• Volume Measurement
• Measurement List

SiteView now incorporates Volume Measurement functionality and enables measurements directly from the Capture Viewer or via the 3D Dollhouse within the Plan Viewer. Thanks to Cupix's advanced 3D mapping technology, documenting the jobsite has become an effortless task and offers both accuracy and convenience. With the advent of the new Volume Measurement feature, a realm of possibilities unfolds before you: from calculating rough estimates like earth cut and fill to excavation and optimizing cargo space, or even evaluating crop growth, all these tasks can be accomplished right from the confines of your workspace. 

Measuring Volume is straightforward: by simply defining a Base Plane, the tool automatically computes both the mass above the plane's surface and the space below it. For step-by-step guidance on specifying the Base Plane, please refer to the short guide videos below.

How to Set Base Plane ① - Default Method

This method is the easiest and most fundamental way to measure volume in SiteView. 

1. Pick points around the subject you want to measure and then press Enter. Base Plane will be generated automatically based on those points. 

How to Set Base Plane ② - Setting Up Reference Plane

This method comes in handy when there's not enough geometry around the subject you want to measure for placing points. This method can also be used when a common reference plane is needed to facilitate easy comparison between measured volumes.

1. Pick at least three points around the desired location, where you want to set a Reference Plane, and press Enter. Refernce Plane will be generated automatically based on those points.
2. Pick points around the subject you want to measure and then press Enter. Base Plane will be generated automatically based on those points.
