Release notes

Enterprise users can now calculate volume measurements for their Space and Object mode captures. This feature is currently available for mesh-based captures only.

Measure enclosed areas, such as mounds or containers, and open spaces like swimming pools.

Virtual Walkthrough is now available on all Business and Enterprise plans!

Virtual Walkthrough is designed to set a higher standard for site documentation. While you scan, Polycam captures high-resolution photos and integrates them directly into your 3D model. This gives you the ability to:

• Retrace your exact capture path for accurate measurements→ Read labels on machinery and equipment
• Spot thin pipes, wires, and surface conditions that 3D meshes alone miss
• Enable remote inspections and team alignment without costly site visitsMore complete documentation, fewer site revisits, and teams that can move faster with confidence.Virtual Walkthrough is already available in your Business or Enterprise plan. Simply update the app to try it.

We’ve released Walkthrough mode to Enterprise users.

This feature allows you to watch a playback of their Space mode model in the sequence that it was captured, following the route laid out by your original capture keyframes. It also allows you to inspect the original, constituent images, which would be immediately overlaid above the model view during this virtual walkthrough. This would be helpful if you are someone who needs to get a general 3D model of a space, while requiring access to the original, high-fidelity 2D images of that space. These images will also be uploaded and stored in the cloud, so that they are safely stored and available on all devices.

Workspace switcher has been released for all Business and Enterprise teams. Instead of presenting teams in the left sidebar and selecting which team to move into, users change their workspace by selecting from a new Workspace Switcher dropdown on the top left of the screen.

With the introduction of the Workspace Switcher, a “Personal Workspaces” is now available to all Teams users. Every user starts with a personal workspace, and Pro customers effectively operate in their “Personal” workspace. The user has full access to their personal workspace, and content in their personal workspace is not shared with the organizations they are a part of. Think of it as a private space.

What happens when I try to move captures between spaces?

Instead of “sharing” a capture to a team through the workspace toggle, content will now be “transferred” from one workspace to another (you will see the option when you access your captures’ details). When you transfer a capture, the capture is moved to that organization and the source workspace no longer has access to the capture.

You can transfer captures in and out of a workspace if you belong to both workspaces, however, you can only transfer out of a workspace if you created a given capture.

What about Android?

Android devices will only show your “personal workspace”. Teams are currently not supported, and we don’t have plans to add that support any time soon.

How should this impact you?

Practically, almost all Polycam's Enterprise and Business teams utilize a single team/organization. Therefore, there should be no material change to how you interact with Polycam.

What happens during capturing?

On iOS, the workspace switcher should default to the last team you have set it as. While you are capturing, you will be able to see the workspace that the capture will live in via a visual indicator on the screen.

Multi-floor Space mode is now supported on iOS and available to all plans. As you move to a different floor for your building, the app will automatically detect the level change and register it as a new floor. This update enriches the output of 2D floor plans and Report.
