Everything that has landed in Groundwork Takeoff, newest first. Subscribers and maintenance-plan owners get every one of these automatically — the installers always carry the latest build.
Open plan sets straight from Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or SharePoint — the document stays linked to its source, and when the file changes upstream the app offers to reload it. Your markups and takeoffs survive the update.
Run operations across whole plan sets in one pass: batch export, batch calibration, slip-sheeting revisions, transferring markups to a new set, page-image comparison and more — with a live queue you can cancel any time.
Filter by any column, save custom views per project or document, see running totals, and jump from any row straight to its markup on the sheet — it flashes so you can't miss it.
Select one or many markups and the tools you need appear right at the selection — restyle, duplicate, align or delete in place. Batch edits are one undo step, so experiments are safe.
Draw measurements by dragging, finish with a right-click, box-select multiple items, then move, resize or adjust individual corners — every edit is exactly one undo step.
Every page can carry its own scale (details and plans in one set, no problem), and an amber "Scale Not Set" badge warns you before you ever measure on an uncalibrated sheet.
Every tool you use is auto-captured to Recents; promote favourites to My Tools and they get number-key hotkeys — your whole kit, one keystroke away.
Every action's shortcut is yours to change in Settings, with conflict warnings and a one-click reset. Muscle memory from your last tool comes with you.
A zoom slider and an editable percentage live in the status bar, alongside a live cursor readout in real calibrated feet — you always know exactly where and how big.
Paste whole selections — across pages, even across documents — and quantities re-price against the destination page's scale automatically.
A built-in scripting panel automates repetitive document work, and new secure API tokens let CAD tools publish sheets directly into your library — including a Revit add-in for pushing sheet sets from the model.
A full-screen thumbnail grid for whole-set page work: drag to reorder, rotate, duplicate, delete, insert between pages and extract — with familiar click, Ctrl and Shift selection.
Redaction now has the two-step shape it deserves: mark anywhere, then Apply in the desktop app to permanently remove the marked content into a new -redacted copy — with a clear warning before anything is irreversible, and your original file untouched.
Adding text to a PDF is now what you'd expect: click where you want it, type, press Enter. A small options row sets size and color (and remembers your last choice) — no more coordinate forms.
Page tools are reorganised into task groups — File, Organize, Edit, Protect, Export — and Watermark, Bates numbering, Header & Footer and Combine now open directly from the ribbon instead of hiding inside a hub dialog. Every dialog also shares one consistent look.
Your plan sets now follow you. Open a set at the office, pick it up on the laptop or iPad — same document, same takeoffs, synced automatically in the background. Documents are matched by their content, so the same PDF is recognized as the same document on every device, even after edits.
Multi-sheet sessions got a rebuilt engine under the hood: each sheet now syncs independently, so two estimators working a 200-page set see each other's markups faster and more reliably.
Shrink bloated scan sets down to emailable sizes, export archival PDF/A for closeout, and drop Word, Excel and PowerPoint files straight into the app — they convert to PDF and join your set.
Rotate any markup freely. Right-click menus, layering (bring-to-front / send-to-back) and the properties editor all got cleaned up, and the sidebar is now resizable.
A proper support portal is live — submit questions or bug reports from the website and a human replies, usually the same day. Companies on team plans can now have seats assigned and managed per person.
Double-click any PDF in Finder and it opens in Groundwork Takeoff.
The AI now proposes full measurements — not just counts. It suggests, you approve; nothing enters your takeoff without your click.
Flag sensitive content across a set and redact it in one pass before drawings leave the office.
Sheet scales are detected automatically (verify once, override any time), and dimension chains keep continuous strings of dimensions consistent as you adjust them.
Type math anywhere a quantity goes — (24*3)+8 just works, unit-aware.
Sheets sort themselves by discipline, and you can search a set the way you'd ask a person — "second floor electrical" finds it.
Rearrange the toolbar to match how you actually work (Settings → Customize Ribbon).
Measurement labels honour your precision settings — decimals or feet-and-inches fractions, your call.
Full touch gestures for tablets and touchscreen laptops — the iPad experience got dramatically better.
Jump anywhere in a big set with the minimap, find anything with the search overlay, and reopen recent plan sets in one click.
Deep undo history across takeoffs and markups, copy/paste for markups, align and distribute tools, and a light/dark theme toggle.
Work several plan sets side by side in tabs, Acrobat-style.
Combine PDFs, add headers, footers and text (full international font support), open password-protected files, manage bookmarks and forms, and crop pages without breaking takeoff geometry.
Mark sensitive content with opaque redaction boxes and export review copies carrying the marks — the foundation for the permanent mark-then-apply flow that landed in August.
Every placed symbol gets its own properties editor, and markups can link to revision-log entries for a clean audit trail.
