❓askDigs Just Got Smarter!

askDigs now has a deeper understanding of conversations, decisions, project information and giving you a more direct response as well to your questions. You can ask more detailed questions, like the dimensions of rooms and spaces—if the details are in the project, askDigs has you covered! And this is just the beginning; askDigs will keep evolving to become even more intelligent and efficient. Stay tuned for even more awesome enhancements coming to askDigs!

📐 Point-to-Point Measurement!

We are in the final stages of wrapping up a new measurement functionality called Point-to-Point measurements. This has been a big request from you, allowing you to capture measurements of irregular walls, rooms and polygonal shapes. You also will be able to change the color of your measurements, allowing to distinguish different measurement types. This will go live in the next week.

🖌️ White Out Tool

By popular demand, we’ve introduced the White Out Tool! Now, you can easily use the pencil or marker tool to white out sections of your blueprint. Whether you need to remove a wall or make small adjustments, it’s simple—just select the white color in the palette and apply the white out function with ease.

⏭️ Next in Digs

As we’ve shared before, we’re committed to the upcoming release of Digs Cloud, along with enhanced user roles and permissions. These updates are designed to provide a more seamless and controlled experience within Digs and a strong business impact.

As a reminder, Digs is making changes to user permissions to better reflect those responsibilities. What does this mean for you?

  • Effective immediately, Project Owner is being renamed Manager. This provides clarity, as many projects currently have multiple Project 'Owners'.

Starting in late August 2024:

  • Using your existing project invite tools, new user roles will be available to differentiate Admins, Builders, and other project participants.

    • Free Collaborators will be recategorized as project guest roles and will be updated to remove potentially negative user rights, like deleting other people’s comments or files. We trust people, but accidents happen.

    • A new Editor role is being added beneath Manager. Editors will not have full project control but will have more permissions than a Collaborator, such as deletion rights and file management.

  • Next up, a new centralized user management console will allow Admins to see all users in one location, easily update a user across several projects, and keep your projects secure.

Private Layers

This new feature will allow users and project managers to create private areas within a project, enabling select stakeholders to collaborate and conduct business in a more private and focused environment.
