August 2019
We are publishing a very significant version release. You will see this reflected on your machine shortly. Updates are below.
We upgraded the "Geo Analysis" task so that you can now determine buildable acres that factor in slopes and buffers on top of flood and wetlands. Additionally, this task now automatically creates constraint maps based on your preferences. The feature also automatically creates slope contour and color relief maps.
Here's an example. Our system automatically calculated that the parcel below has 137 buildable acres (no floods, wetlands, minimal slope, and 25 foot buffers) and created all of the polygons with just 1 click.
How to:
From the project map, hover over the top right menu and click "Select All Parcels"
In the "Geo Analysis +" section add your slope preferences. The system will automatically exclude any area that exceeds the highest value you put into the "Slope Values" box. If you'd like to see additional polygons for lower slope levels, you can type numerous values into the box separated by spaces.
Example: If you want to exclude all territory that exceeds 10% slope from your buildable area, but you also want to see areas that have between 5% & 10% slope, type 5 10 in the "Slope Levels" box
Buffer: If you want to put buffers around your constraints and parcel boundaries add them in the buffer box.
Click "Run Task." When these finish, they'll display the constraint maps on screen.
​Additional Notes
When you return to the project, you'll need to hover the "Drawing" option and click "Load All Hazard Drawings" too see the drawings again. This helps minimize load times.
​
​To view slope contour and color relief maps, hover over the layer dropdown and select the "Countour" and/or "Color Relief" option(s)
​You can still augment the "Buildable Area" of a parcel for things like houses and tree cover using the standard "Composite Geometry" feature
You can automatically create PDF reports of a site with different layers or polygons toggled on or off.
How To
Turn on any layers you'd like to show
Select "Report" from the hamburger menu
You can toggle the image title and description by double clicking the text
Click the camera icon to snap an image
​Reiterate these steps for every image you want to include in your report, and then click "Get Report"
You can save consistently used formats using the "Save Map Settings" feature, which we can help you setup.
We updated the top right corner menu of maps to be more user friendly. 
​
How To / Overview
Hover over icons to display their sub-menus
Icons
Drawing: This allows you to toggle "Geo Analysis +" constraint maps
Layers Icon (Middle Icon): This displays all of the layers in your team
Hamburger Menu (Right Icon): Various design, measuring, and mapping tools
Edit: Displays ad-hoc drawing tools
Report (NEW-ish): Allows you to take screenshots of your map with various layers and automatically put them into a pdf report
Full-Screen: Self explanatory
Polygon Select: Select all items in an area that you draw
Line/Polygon Measurement (NEW): This allows you to draw a line or polygon on the map to automatically calculate its acreage, but this will not save as a persisting polygon/polyline
Select All Parcels (NEW): Select all parcels to perform "Superparcel" creation or "Geo analysis" tasks
Our old methodology to add parcels from the layer into a project took several clicks. We improved this process.
How To
Turn on parcel layer, and click a parcel
Click "Create Asset"
That is all. Our system will automatically paste it into your project.
In the image above, you can see that we reformatted the parcel pop up box to include the most important information up top (owner name and parcel acreage) for better user experience.
Our old "Greenfield-Land" project flow was a bit clunky if the parcel didn't already exist. We streamlined this.
How To
Select "Greenfield-Land" project type and add a name
On the map in the "Create an Asset - Land" box select a parcel from the map
Click "Select Parcel" in the pop up
​Click "Create Asset"
Click "Create Project"
UI/UX Upgrades: We've published a lot of interface improvements, so things may look a little different (better) in several places.
We want to ensure everyone is comfortable using the new Geo Analysis feature, so I'll be reaching out directly to setup some training.
Please reach out with any questions or issues you encounter. As always, there is a chance some bugs are missed during initial testing.
Thanks, Jake
Users often combine numerous parcels into a single project. This feature allows you to combine the parcels in our system so that you can mimic this real-life behavior.
Select several parcels by clicking on each one while holding Ctrl (cmd on Mac)
Add a name for the combined "SuperParcel" and click "Run Task"
