This page lists what has actually shipped in siteviewer. No announcements and no roadmap — an entry appears once the change is available to you.

October 2026

16 October — The map in Studio opens in street style

While setting up a site, the map now opens in street style, like the minimap inside a walkthrough. It used to start on the aerial image, where street names and building labels are hard to read. The walkthrough keeps the aerial view; the choice is remembered separately for each.

15 October — One plan for your whole organisation

siteviewer is now licensed by the number of people who work with it: Demo, Core in six tiers up to 500 users, Enterprise as agreed. Sites are unlimited and no longer counted — how many you create is up to you.

Each person counts once, whatever they are allowed to do and however many sites they may open. Open invitations count too, because they hold a seat.

When the allowance is reached you get a 10 % buffer for 30 days. After that only new invitations are blocked until you move up a tier: anyone who already has access keeps it. An expired demo stays readable; editing and inviting stop there, and nothing is deleted.

15 October — Embedded walkthroughs can be driven from outside

If you embed a walkthrough in your own portal, you can now control it from the surrounding page: jump to an area or a point, change floor, switch the view, start a guided tour. The walkthrough reports back what is happening.

It only accepts commands from the addresses you enter on the embed link yourself. Points appear in an embedded walkthrough only when you release them explicitly.

15 October — Measuring volume

Alongside distance, area and height there is now volume: you draw a base area on the ground and siteviewer works out fill and cut separately against a reference plane. The default is the best-fit plane through the corner points you set; you can also give a fixed height. The calculation runs in the browser, and only the result is stored.

15 October — The sky can be switched off per site

The sky stays on by default but can now be switched off for a single site — useful for indoor-only captures, where it shows above the roof edges. The setting is published with the site, so your viewers see what you see.

15 October — Guided tours

A walkthrough can now be played as a guided tour: the camera moves through the areas in order, from one starting position to the next. Made for the case where someone should be shown a site without having to navigate themselves.

15 October — More scan formats accepted directly

Alongside PLY, siteviewer now takes SPZ, SOG, KSPLAT and SPLAT. If you already hold scans in one of those formats, you can upload them without converting first.

14 October — Studio: adding more scans is quicker

The area for adding further scans now sits at the top, directly under the heading, instead of below the last file. The file list collapses and carries the count in its title. With many scans, nobody has to scroll to the end of the list any more.

14 October — Unfinished sites stay visible

Leaving the Studio mid-setup no longer loses sight of the site: it is there again next time. Previously a part-finished state could disappear from the view.

14 October — External users can see what they have access to

Guests with their own account now find “Show access” in the menu. Previously that menu was empty for them.

12 October — One shared user allowance per organisation

Instead of separate allowances, a person counts once towards the organisation's allowance — whatever they are allowed to do, and however many sites they may open.

Reassigning permissions no longer needs an extra licence. Which person may see or edit which site is still granted individually by your administrators.

How this changelog is kept

An entry is written when a change has reached the production environment — not when it was built or announced. Internal rework, fixes with no visible effect and infrastructure work do not appear here.

We write roughly one entry per change worth mentioning. A gap does not mean nothing happened; it means nothing happened that you would notice.
